Monsters : Season 1
-
Air date: 22 Oct '88 - 24 episodesMonsters is a syndicated horror anthology series which originally ran from 1988 to 1991 and reran on the Sci-Fi Channel during the 1990s. As of 2011, Monsters airs on NBC Universal's horror/suspense-themed cable channel Chiller in sporadic weekday marathons.

Adding to this was a sense of comedy often...
