Monsters- Season 1

Monsters is a syndicated TV series which originally ran from 1988 to 1991 and was probably most popular for its post-production run on the Sci-Fi Channel during the 1990s. Monsters currently airs on NBC Universal's horror-themed channel Chiller Saturdays at 5PM and 5:30PM, Sundays at 11AM and 11:30AM, and intermittently weekday mornings at 5AM and/or 5:30AM Eastern.

A horror anthology show in a similar vein to Tales from the Darkside, it shared the same producer (Richard P. Rubenstein), and in some ways succeeded the show (which had ended the same year in which Monsters began). It differed in some respects nonetheless. While Tales sometimes dabbled in stories of science fiction and fantasy, this series was more strictly horror. As the name implies, each episode of Monsters (with very few exceptions) featured a different monster which the story concerned, from the animatronic puppet of a fictional children's television program to mutated, weapon-wielding lab rats.
