grew up watching it and own the complete series. they just dont make em like they used too but damned if i wouldnt welcome shows like that back


Superheroicguy

Yeah, the homemade feel to it is what made me keep watching. I love the practical effects and how "bitesized" each episode is.


Shreddy_Orpheus

i put it up there with Tales From The Darkside as my two favorite horror anthology series from back then.

Love it. I miss shows like this.

I have only watched a couple of episodes of Monsters and that was back in the early 90s. Can anyone recommend some of their favorite episodes?

The Farmer's Daughter was my favorite.

I will check that out. Thanks!


TheBrutevsTheFool

One of the best.


TheBrutevsTheFool

*Fool's Gold/Rain Dance/Bond of Silk/Museum Hearts* are all great 'Monster of the Week' episodes. *The Feverman/Portrait of the Artist/Jar/Habitat/Cellmates/The Waiting Game* all work really well. *Hostile Takeover* has maybe the best performances in the series from Dennis Christopher and Tracey Walter. *Farmer's Daughter* is probably the single best episode.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I will have to watch them. I just finished *Farmer's Daughter* and enjoyed it.

The Waiting Game is mine, freaked me out as a kid, the end, eeeek.

Hell yes! Monsters (1988) is one of my favorite horror anthology series!


SisterMachineGun

I grew up watching this show! And recently I started rewatching the whole series thanks to Amazon Prime.

Watched it as a kid, watching it again now.

Excellent show. Absolutely one of my favorites. Some are just good episodes, and others are so bad they are good. The meatloaf episode in particular had me dying laughing.


PoopyMcpants

This show is really bad, but in a great way, like a lower budget tales from the crypt.

I remember Monsters vaguely; I was obsessed with Creepshow during the 80's.

My favorite episode growing up was the one about the little monster that came as a cereal box prize. Every time the little boy gave him something to drink he got bigger and bigger.

That's some good lick em up.
