\"\"The storied history of TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE winds ever darker and weirder with this collection of scripts by JOE HILL from the never-broadcast 2015 television reboot. TV’s loss is your gain as these all-new tales break out of the shadows and spring to vivid life at Hill’s command, accompanied by striking illustrations provided by Charles Paul Wilson III (Wraith). Fans of horror, Darkside, and Hill will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n

The story starts as follows:
\n<\/strong><\/i>A Window Opens
\n<\/em>INT. JOSS\u2019 CAR\u2014DAY
\nJOSS, a cute grad student, has one hand on the wheel and the other on her smartphone. She\u2019s up to that great bad habit of the 21st Century: texting while she drivesn John Cafferty\u2019s \u2018On the Darkside\u2019 blasts from the radio.
\nEXT. SUBURBAN PARADISE\u2014ROAD\u2014CONTINUOUS
\nJoss\u2019 car speeds through a housing develeloment familiar from a half dozen eighties-era Spielberg films: a zone of bright green yards, bright blue skies, and bright big futures. A sound rises, electrical in nature, a little like that drone of feedback at the start of The Beatles\u2019 \u2018I Feel Fine.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Sleepwalker<\/em>
\nEXT. SKY\/ZIGGY\u2019S BACKYARD\u2014SUNSET
\nOn a SLOW-MO shot of a ripped superhero, naked except for red trunks and red silk cape flowing behind him. ZIGGY ZALIBAN has the body of an Olympic swimmer, the sly smile of a youtful Tom Cruise, and the chiseled chin and golden locks of Buster Crabbe. ZIG has a pair of res Zs\u2014Zs\u2014drawn on his chest in lipstick.<\/p>\n

Black Box<\/em>
\nINT. FAMILY DEN\u2014LATE AFTERNOON
\nBRIAN NEWMAN, a boy of nine, but serious beyond his years, fiddles with a Rubik\u2019s Cube at one end of a cluttered table. Other boys crowd close around. A noisy game of Monopoly is underway.
\nA TV plays on, unattented, in the background. This is an old TV, with a faux wooden cabinet, and brass antennas. And look what\u2019s on:\u00a0Tales From the Darkside!<\/em>\u00a0Tonight\u2019s episode is my personla favorite: \u2018Word Processor of the Gods.\u2019<\/p>\n
