Preston finds out he has been dumped by his artist's agent and goes to his local bar to drown his sorrows. 

He leaves the bar along with the bartender at the end of the night. The bartender is attacked and killed by a horrifying gargoyle in an alleyway behind the bar. The gargoyle tells Preston it will spare his life if he never tells anyone what it looks like.

After this happens Preston obsessively draws images of the gargoyle.

Preston's girlfriend's connections secure him a solo show in a prestigious gallery. Here, a visitor admires his artwork.

Preston talks with his beautiful new girlfriend at his exhibition. She tells him her friend who runs the gallery has sold a piece of his work for $23000

Tales from the Darkside is a comedy horror anthology film, the section titled 'Lover's Vow' stars James Remar as Preston the artist

Lover's Vow
Preston is a struggling artist. He lives in a studio with a skylight, through which a large stone gargoyle on the neighboring building, peers down. Preston's agent calls, asking to meet with him at a bar a few blocks away. The agent tells Preston that his artwork is unpopular and not selling. Dejected, Preston drinks heavily and at the end of the night, the bar owner who is a friend of his, offers to walk him home.

Along the way, Preston stops to relieve himself in a back alley, when his friend sees and shoots at a gargoyle monster. The creature attacks, severing his hand and then decapitating him. Terrified, Preston tries to run away, but the creature corners him and speaks, agreeing to spare his life if he swears never to reveal what he has seen. The monster scratches Preston's chest, saying "Cross your heart?", then vanishes.

Preston runs into another alley where he bumps into a lone woman named Carola. She claims to have become lost while going to meet friends and was searching for a taxi. Preston convinces her to call a taxi from his apartment, where Carola cleans the gargoyle-inflicted wound on his chest, and they have sex with each other.

Preston's life soon improves, and his struggling art career becomes wildly successful, mostly thanks to Carola's connections. They eventually marry and have two children. Preston is still tormented by memories of the gargoyle though, and his vow of silence weighs heavily on him. On the tenth anniversary of him first meeting Carola, Preston breaks down and tells her about the monster. Carola appears uncomfortable by his revelation and then emits a heartbroken wail, "You promised you'd never tell!", revealing herself as the creature that killed his friend.

With Preston's vow broken, Carola can no longer remain human and begins transforming back into a gargoyle. Their children are screaming in the bedroom as they also transform into gargoyles. Carola, now fully transformed, wraps her wings around Preston and the couple proclaim their love for each other, but with the vow broken, Carola is still reluctantly forced to kill him by biting his neck, before flying away with her gargoyle children. The final scene shows the three gargoyles now turned to stone and sitting upon the building ledge, staring down at the city with sorrowful expressions.

The Ugly Dachshund on IMDB

Fran Garrison and her husband Mark are a young happy married couple and the proud owners of an award-winning dachshund named Danke. The show begins with them frantically getting into the car and heading to the hospital as "the pain has started and it's about time". In a hurry to the hospital Officer Carmody tries to pull them over for going 50 mph in a 25 mph zone. After notifying that they are on the way to the hospital and indicating that Fran is the one in labor, Office Carmody pulls in front of them and turns on the sirens to escort them to the county hospital. After he arrives and turns to find that Mr. and Mrs. Garrison have gone past him he gets back on his motorcycle and follows them to the vet. It is then revealed that Danke is the one in labor. While Mark is outside waiting on Fran, Officer Carmody catches up to him and after Mark thanks him for helping them get to the vet on time Officer Carmody reveals that he was under the impression that Mrs. Garrison was the one in labor and proceeds to write multiple traffic violation tickets totaling $110. On the day that Mr. Garrison arrives at the vet to pick up Danke and her puppies, veterinarian Dr. Pruitt mentions that his female great Dane has also just given birth but unfortunately does not have enough milk for all of her puppies and the runt of the group has been cast aside by her - as most dogs do under these circumstances. Doc Pruitt convinces Mark to bring home the great dane puppy so that Danke may wet nurse him until he has weaned. When he arrives home and Fran notices that there is another puppy she is surprised but does not suspect that the puppy is from another litter and reminds Mark that he should thank Danke for giving him a boy like he always wanted. Before he knows it, and after keeping his secret from Fran, the puppies have grown drastically in size. Of course the great dane puppy whom he has named Brutus is significantly larger than the other four dachshunds. As the dog grows up with Fran's dachshund puppies he believes he is one of them and picks up mannerisms like hunching close to the ground to walk. The dachshunds are mischievous creatures and lead poor unsuspecting Brutus through a series of comic misadventures with Officer Carmody (now Sergeant Carmody) being chased up a tree, Mark's studio being splattered with paint, and a garden party being turned topsy-turvy. Fran wants Mark to remove Brutus from the house once-and-for-all but when Brutus saves her favorite puppy Chloe from the garbage truck she changes her mind. Mark and Fran enter their dogs in a dog show with Brutus meeting others of his breed. He notices a female great dane and stands at attention. He goes on to win two blue ribbons. Brutus finally finds out what it's like to be a great dane.
