Monsters is an American syndicated horror anthology series which originally ran from 1988 to 1991 and reran on the Sci-Fi Channel during the 1990s. The series grew out of Tales from the Darkside, the previous project by producer Richard P. Rubinstein and his company Laurel Entertainment. Unlike Tales, which sometimes featured stories of science fiction and fantasy, Monsters was more strictly horror. As the name implies, each episode (with very few exceptions) features a different monster with which the story was concerned, from the animatronic puppet of a fictional children's television program to mutated, weapon-wielding lab rats.
