Movie description:

Timmy is being held captive, chained to the wall of a small room off the kitchen, while his hostess is preparing a gala dinner where Timmy will be the main course. Desperately trying to buy time and distract his hostess, Timmy is reading eerie stories from a book titled, »Tales From The Darkside«.

The first segment features an animated mummy stalking selected student victims; the second tale tells the story of a »cat from hell« who cannot be killed and leaves a trail of victims behind it; the third story is about a man who witnesses a bizarre killing and promises never to tell what he saw and the »in-between« bit is the story of a woman preparing to cook her newspaper boy for supper.
