About Monsters

Monsters is a mystery and comedy TV series that premiered on Syndication on October 22, 1988. It has 3 seasons and 72 episodes so far and has ended. The latest episode, Season 3 Episode 24 "The Moving Finger", aired on April 26, 1991.

Monsters is a syndicated horror anthology series which originally ran from 1988 to 1991 and reran on the Sci-Fi Channel during the 1990s. Similarly to Tales from the Darkside, Monsters shared the same producer, and in some ways succeeded the show. 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 features a different monster, from the animatronic puppet of a fictional children's television program to mutated, weapon-wielding lab rats.
