Tales From the Darkside Opening Narrative

"Man lives in the 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 lit, a darkside."

Tales From the Darkside Closing Narrative

"The darkside is always there, waiting for us to enter, waiting to enter us. Until next time ... try to enjoy the daylight!"
