Darkroom(1981)

Enter a New Dimension of Chilling Suspense ... Enter the Darkroom

Darkroom is an American horror anthology series that aired on ABC from November 1981 to January 1982. Each hour-long episode presents two or more standalone stories of suspense and terror, with James Coburn hosting the wraparound segments that tie them together. The series follows the Night Gallery tradition, delivering tales of ordinary people confronted by supernatural forces and inexplicable dread. Characters find themselves trapped in nightmarish situations with no clear escape, as something sinister closes in. The tone shifts between psychological horror and outright terror across stories, keeping viewers unsettled throughout. Though short-lived, Darkroom became a cult favorite among horror enthusiasts for its willingness to explore darker, more unsettling narratives than typical network television of the era allowed.
