TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE was an 80's horror-comedy anthology series created by George A. Romero, that eventually got a movie adaptation in 1990, directed by John Harrison (who worked on the TV series and helmed episodes of the recent CREEPSHOW remake).

Here's the official synopsis:

To keep from being eaten by a modern-day witch (Deborah Harry, Videodrome), a young paperboy weaves three twisted stories to distract her. In “Lot 249,” a vengeful college student (Steve Buscemi, Fargo) resuscitates an evil mummy to teach unsuspecting student bodies (Julianne Moore, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Christian Slater, Mr. Robot) a lesson in terror. Then, “The Cat From Hell” is a furry black feline who cannot be killed … he may have nine lives, but those who cross his path are not so lucky. Finally, in “Lover’s Vow,” a stone gargoyle comes to life … to commit murder. In this classic cult favorite, fear comes in threes.

Meanwhile, the film is finally getting the Blu-Ray treatment, and here are the special features:
