What happens

Monsters is an American syndicated horror anthology television series which originally ran from October 22, 1988 to April 26, 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 from the Darkside, which sometimes featured science fiction and fantasy stories, Monsters was strictly horror-based. As the name implies, most episodes feature 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.
