Tales from the Darkside |
The series grew out of Tales from the Darkside, the previous project by producer Richard P. Rubinstein and his company Laurel Entertainment.[2][3] 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,[4][5] from the animatronic puppet of a fictional children's television program to mutated, weapon-wielding lab rats.
