(December 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> The moderate success of Creepshow led to initial inquiries about the possibilities of a Creepshow series . Because Warner Bros. owned certain aspects of Creepshow, Laurel Entertainment, which produced the film, opted to take their potential series into a similar, yet separate, direction, including changing the name to Tales from the Darkside . The new name reflected Creepshow's focus, that of a live - action EC - based horror comic book of the 1950s like Tales from the Crypt or The Vault of Horror, though the series would not carry the trappings of a comic as Creepshow did . </P> <P> Some episodes of the series were written by or adapted from the works of famous authors . Stephen King's short stories "Word Processor of the Gods" and "Sorry, Right Number" were amongst them . Works by Frederik Pohl, Harlan Ellison, Clive Barker, Michael Bishop, Robert Bloch, John Cheever, Michael McDowell and Fredric Brown were also featured . A number of stories and episode novelizations were published in the book Tales from the Darkside: Volume One in 1988 . After wrapping, Tales from the Darkside was succeeded by Monsters in 1988, a similarly - styled syndicated weekly horror anthology also produced by Laurel and longtime Romero associate Richard P. Rubinstein . </P>
