Though I was a little young at that time, I do seem to recall that there WAS an episode for which had some small army men in it.

Yes it was Siege Aug 31 or something to that effect starring Ronny Cox. Loved this episode, has stuck with me for years.

I agree. I was ten when I saw it, and have never forgotten it.

Thank you gentlemen.

I came here to try to track down that very episode. One of the stand out episodes of Darkroom.

I will try to dig it out and watch it tonight.


You can't palm off a second-rater on me. You gotta remember I was in the pink!

Darkroom did indeed have an episode based upon Stphen King's "Battleground" from the excellent anthology "Night Shift". I was under the impression that the Darkroom episode was the only film adaptation of that story. If it was remade for "Nightmares and Dreamscapes", I must see it.

I saw it on Scifi (now Syfy) years ago and was amused by how after the father was clearly killed in the explosion, the mother was just, oh, well. It was only your father, and off she and Junior skipped into the Who-Needs-A-Father-Land of Hollywood.
