Monsters was produced by Richard Rubinstein and is also the producer of tales from the Darkside and directed by Tom Abrams and Philip Alder ton. The series was premiered on the first of October 1988 and lasted on the first of April 1991. Monsters is a perverse take on a sitcom intro which begins with an aerial view of a neighborhood drawing closer to what seems to be merely a typical suburban home. the camera enters this seemingly innocuous setting as the family inside in discussing what to watch on television they are revealed to be hideous humanoids creatures with an abnormal number of eyes and elongated, deformed faces who snack on candied insects, yet they are all dressed in very human clothing and live with typical affluent suburban surroundings.
Monsters story is rarely very straightforward and often contained some ironic twist and in addition there was a sense of comedy often lost in horror productions.
