DVD Review: The Secret Policeman’s Balls

Lets pretend you’re an international organization who‘s interested in human rights. Let’s pretend you’re responsible for the release of hundreds of prisoners in foreign countries and arrange for better conditions for thousands more since 1961. And let’s pretend that in 1976 you’re nearly broke. What to do, what to do?

DVD Review: Tales from the Darkside, The First Season

And so begins each episode of Tales from the Darkside, a half-hour horror anthology series in the vein of The Twilight Zone. The First Season contains 24 episodes, the pilot (1983) and 23 episodes in the first season 9/30/1984 – 8/4/1985), on three discs.
