Darkroom (1981) has become one of the most talked-about sci-fi & fantasy, mystery, and drama seriess, and this guide covers everything you need before you press play. The production leans into sci-fi & fantasy, mystery, and drama with real confidence. Read on for the full plot overview, the cast and crew, critical reception, and answers to the questions fans ask most.
Darkroom plot and story overview
The narrative of Darkroom unfolds like this: 'You're in a house. Maybe your own... maybe one you've never seen before. You feel it. Something evil. You run, but there's no escape... nowhere to turn. You feel something beckoning you... drawing you into the terror that awaits you in the Darkroom!' Darkroom is an American horror/thriller anthology broadcast on ABC from November 27, 1981 to January 15, 1982. Similar in style to Rod Serling's Night Gallery, each hour-long episode featured two or more stories of varying length with a different story and a different cast, but James Coburn hosts all the wraparound segments.
What sets it apart is how it treats its sci-fi & fantasy, mystery, and drama elements not as decoration but as the engine of the plot. The tagline — "Enter a New Dimension of Chilling Suspense ... Enter the Darkroom" — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.
