'Tales from the Darkside' to become new series on The CW

George A. Romero's '80s anthology horror TV series Tales from the Darkside, later turned into a movie, is getting revamped for a new series for The CW. This time Joe Hill, son of Stephen King, is the man in charge alongside the executive producers of Star Trek and Sleepy Hollow, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

"It will likely feature plenty of ridiculously hot young characters being menaced by supernatural forces, given that the project is at The CW (a fashion magazine assistant with a haunted Twitter account is surely a first-season episode)," Entertainment Weekly reported. "The official logline is that the series is a 'reinvention of the horror/fantasy/ thriller anthology series.'"

Hill uses a pseudonym, likely to set himself apart from his well-known thriller-writing father--(his real name is Joesph Hillstrom King). But he's had success with his novels Heart-Shaped Box, Horns and NOS4A2. He's also published a collection of short stories called 20^th Century Ghosts and a comic series, Locke & Key.

Tales of the Darkside was originally a series that ran for four seasons, starting in 1984. The show will be through CBS Studios, which recently was said to possibly be creating a new version of the Twilight Zone. It's possible that a show like Tales of the Darkside, with it's similar structure and theme could replace that previous consideration.

Check out this video below of the original opening and end credits of the show back when it first began. The fact that this footage is so dated almost makes it creepier, but the new version will have current technology to work with. It could be intense.
