A horror anthology show in a similar vein to ''[[Tales from the Darkside]]'', it shared the same producer (Richard P. Rubenstein), and in some ways succeeded the show (which had ended the same year in which ''Monsters'' began). It differed in some respects nonetheless. While ''Tales'' sometimes dabbled in stories of science fiction and fantasy, this series was more strictly horror. As the name implies, each episode of ''[[Monsters]]'' (with very few exceptions) featured a different monster, from the animatronic puppet of a fictional children's television program to mutated, weapon-wielding lab rats.
Similar to ''Tales'', however, the stories in ''Monsters'' were rarely very straightforward action plots and often contained some ironic twist in which a character's conceit or greed would do him in, often with gruesome results. Adding to this was a sense of comedy often lost on horror productions, which might in some instances lighten the audience's mood (often deceptively) but in many cases added to the overall eeriness of the production.
