All time scariest TV intro. As a kid in the 80's, it was much worse! The deceptively peaceful, if mundane images of a countyside bereft of people matched to an eerie, haunting score culminated terrifyingly into images also bereft of color, right when we see the ash forest with no ground, but just an inexorable fade to darkness contrasting with the bleak, smothered daylight of the sky at the top. I've thought long and hard about that into for decades. It's haunted me from elementary school through college and beyond. The transition from color, to black and white, and finally to a negative exposure of black and white is a preternatural masterpiece. Thank god for the 80's!
Man lives in a sunlit world of what he believes to be reality. But there is unseen by most an underworld. A place that is just as real, but not as brightly lid. A darkside!
i remember this show, i was maybe about 5 or 6 years old, and this intro always had me checking under my bed, and my closet just from this eerie ass theme music..
Used to be afraid to watch any scary stuff in the house I spent my teenage years in, because it was haunted. Watching this alone at night used to terrify me, lol.
I was early teens when this came out. I always loved Outer Limits, classic Twilight Zone, Tales From the Crypt, Monsters, Up All Night with Elvira, and as a Mississippi Gulf Costian - Morgus Presents out of New Orleans. I was raised on hoo-doo, voo-doo, and all things undead. But, this intro used to scare the living shit out of me! Loved the show, and all of them really! Still do.
I remember sometimes at night as a kid in the 80s latenights not being able to turn the TV station in time before this would come on lol it would always catch me off guard late at night sometimes if I was laying down and this would come on I would jump up and snatch the TV cord out of the wall lol this intro to this show was super scary to me as a kid lol after that it had me checking rooms and my closet before i would go to bed lol😂
LMFAO!!! Do you realize how many kids woke up when they heard this theme song and scrambled to change the channel or turn the t.v. off! I bet they never moved so fast! 🤣🤣
There is a world as tangible as our own… Impossible to see, yet… Unavoidable to sense… A world enveloped by a seemingly unending ocean of forest… Buried deep in that forest, tucked away neatly within a blanket of twilight… Lies a quaint little cabin… A n d I n T h a t C a b i n…………
Yes, used to scare me as a kid. I grew up in Queens, Jackson Heights. I'd hear this and then stay up all night scared looking out the window towards the subway, Roosevelt ave.
I remember being 11 and 12 Years Old. Back in the 1980s and watching this Show, now a Middle Aged Man. Are a Horror writer, soon to begin publishing my works. This show DEFINITELY influenced me a LOT.
Even though I was too scared to watch it at night, there I was starting to pay bedtime watching this. Scared I was gonna get caught watching tv and scared of the monsters outside my window. Haha!
When I was a little girl I used to watch this with my dad. It was tales from the darkside, the twilight zone, and I think night gallery. When I heard this intro, I knew my night was starting. The intro used to scare me, so I had to be in the living room to watch it because my dad would shut all the lights off.
I remember watching this as a kid and then I would immediately watch the 60s batman show after to be less afraid. Then again I used to have a crush on the woman who played Catwoman. Weird I know lol
Some info: George Romero composed this theme himself, and this is actually HIM doing the spoken-word. Also, the reason why, in the public eye, George Romero is only associated with his two Night of the Living Dead films was that he spent much of the following years working on the short stories in this wonderful made-for-TV series. But really, on an artistic and even Spiritual level, Romero should be included with the likes contemporaries like David Lynch or Chronenberg. Hail to The Master!
Hey, thanks for this! This is such an excellent show with great childhood memories! I think it's time for a revival! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber! :)
Yeah....totally had the intro & outro memorized. Anyone remember the episode where the woman was actually a blackwidow spider? She ate the encyclopedia salesman.
I wish they would play this TV series on Halloween, of course I've been wishing for that all these years and other Halloween days too but nothing. When the theme song started I knew what time it was. And it was time for the show to come on.
There's a small town nearby and it has a stretch of road very similar to the one depicted in this intro. I remember as a kid we were coming home passing through that town at night I could see the road and trees in the dim light through the car windows. Fast forward to me in my early twenties and while channel surfing happen upon this program just starting. I was instantly taken back to that night many years ago in our car. For a second the room seemed to be non existent and I could almost smell the interior of that car.
Funny to think that this was originally suppose to be a Creepshow series, after the box office success of Creepshow in 1982. But cause Warner Bros. Owned certain rights for the movie, they chose to take the series to a different direction and changed the name to "Tales from the Darkside" instead

A high point in human creativity the 80s was. That is going from apparently clear to undeniably clear as time marches.

+Old Dirty Gamer oh!yea!💀😱👽
*Eduardo Loera* ::: : :See that you aren't too much the browsing type here on YT.
Yes it is, But so brilliant
Perfectly atmospheric for the show too. I loved watching it in the 80s late at night.
God! Reminds me of the weekends, being a kid and staying up late at night in the summer! Miss my childhood.
Man lives in a sunlit world of what he believes to be reality.
But there is unseen by most an underworld.
A place that is just as real,
but not as brightly lid.
A darkside!
What do "LIDS" have to do with it ?

The intro was scary when I was a kid!!
The only this intro can make nice and peacefully scenery become super unsettling.
Amazing that a few notes can creep you out. Music is the height of emotional expression.
Used to be afraid to watch any scary stuff in the house I spent my teenage years in, because it was haunted. Watching this alone at night used to terrify me, lol.
I still never watch stuff like this alone and my apartment is not even haunted.
Still gets me to this day.. this show was fire when i was growing up bro

Up all night was with Rhonda Sheer
@@conservative3130 Yes, but she often said “Up! All night” as she pointed her index finger up… innuendo.

Now, say all of those words in the same voice as the narrator. Lol!
Is a bunch of guys or bullshi.... 😂 made my night
This would scare me everytime as a child! 😱
This show was genuinely creepy. The intro plays that angle of how uncertain reality can be.
I remember as a 4 yr old in the late 80's..... this show playing late at night before I went to bed..... Nightmare fuel.
Same. I clearly remember watching it in the attic on a black and white TV, on a bed me and my family shared when I was 4 YOA.
Still creeps me after years.... 😱😨
My childhood memories to me 1990 1991
I still love this till this day
I still watch it! ❤
im 37 , and these song continues scared me :C
Born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s. Scary stuff was better then.
Yes, used to scare me as a kid. I grew up in Queens, Jackson Heights. I'd hear this and then stay up all night scared looking out the window towards the subway, Roosevelt ave.
Tales From The Darkside was never really my thing, but this intro always gave me chills
My favorite intro ever.
In this situation we're dealing with, this should also be the theme song to caronavirus
Yes, and what's crazy is people choose to be scared and refuse to take the vaccine. I guess they just don't mind being hospitalized or dying.
Loved the series growing up. Thank u for posting this.
Helps me sleep....

I remembered as a kid in the 80s, I ran fast underneath my bed every time this intro went on.
I remember watching this at my parent's house in Detroit. Channel 20 at 9:30 pm on Sundays.
I remember watching this as a kid and then I would immediately watch the 60s batman show after to be less afraid. Then again I used to have a crush on the woman who played Catwoman. Weird I know lol
I loved this show when it was out

Ridin in a monster truck
Good anthology show, 80's style.
This show intro was scarier than the entire movie.
IM A PROJECT GHOST
IM A HOOD APPARITION
You know it was bedtime when you heard this tune come on.
The most memorable & scariest intro of all time, this scared me when I was a kid
This shit used to scare the shit outta me

loved that show as a kid
This intro by itself kinda fucked me up as a kid.

Tis the season of unbelief was ah scary ass episode
Just found out about this series, 1980's, kid,
This song was the reason why I stayed in the light at night time walking outside 😢😢. But I wanted to watch Hunter on NBC thanks mom🤣
Wow.. My girlfriend just told me she wasn't allowed to watch this as a child hence she's never seen an episode. Can you even imagine!!!
the song is like 😳
The guy coughing after is much more scary
Way scarier then Outter Limits, X- Files and Unsolved Mysteries😂😂
Awesome shows
The Military complex...
Listen to Queensway- Fuel for the darkest man.
Funny to think that this was originally suppose to be a Creepshow series, after the box office success of Creepshow in 1982. But cause Warner Bros. Owned certain rights for the movie, they chose to take the series to a different direction and changed the name to "Tales from the Darkside" instead
Absolutely perfect intro!
When I was little & saw it on reruns, I thought that it was possible to accidentally go to the darkside
When it goes black and white I think there’s a car moving down the street in the background
yo, check it. it's the year 2020 & still this music is creepy as heck. don't care how creepy this is, i love it. please put this back on 📺----a.s.a.p.
Watch Tales From The Crypt: Funny hilarious humor
Watch Tales From The Darkside: Scared me so frelling bad as a kid
Can still recite the opening to this show, someone needs to make a metal song out of it.
I got the Tales from the Darkside series and its movie at Best Buy.
I just wrote a Wattpad Tales from the Darkside short story entitled Wild Wishful Vengeance. I put it up on Twitter and LinkedIn.
This is pretty good
The abyss is always there ..waiting for us to enter..waiting to enter us..until next time try to enjoy the the daylight...repent
I wonder if nostalgiaween can do the version of this
Have a Good rest of the day God is Good
BUT!!! Gotta day it.
