Damn, this thread brought back memories. I remember I would go into my parents room while they were watching TV downstairs at night, and turn on the little tv (the only one in the house that got Fox and good reception) and watch Freddy's Nightmares but Tales from the Darkside was too late. I only caught one episode, where the kid creates a machine that sucks the life out of things, and it goes out of control and kills their mom and gets bigger and bigger...it had a creepy ass into too.
