Darkroom was an American television thriller series that aired on ABC from November 27, 1981 to January 15, 1982. It was an anthology horror/thriller series, similar in style to Rod Serling's Night Gallery. Each 60 minute episode featured two or more stories of varying length with a new story and a new cast, but each episode wraparound was hosted by James Coburn. Among the performers who appeared on the series were Steve Allen, Esther Rolle, Lawrence Hilton Jacobs, David Carradine and June Lockhart.

Opening

"You're in a house, maybe your own, maybe one you've never seen before. Do you feel it? Something evil. You run, but there's no escape. Nowhere to turn. You feel something beckoning you, drawing you into the darkness, to the terror that awaits you in the darkroom!"

The title sequence featured a dolly-in through the corridors of a house to a safe-lighted darkroom in a crawlspace under the stairs. As the voiceover reached the point with "no escape.. nowhere to turn" the camera turned toward various walls and closed doors.

Reruns

Sci Fi aired the show in the mid-90s, including the pilot episode.
