Monsters
You’ll never look at the world the same way again.
Monsters is a syndicated horror anthology series which originally ran from 1988 to 1991 and reran on the Sci-Fi Channel during the 1990s. Similarly to Tales from the Darkside, Monsters shared the same producer, and in some ways succeeded the show. 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 features a different monster, from the animatronic puppet of a fictional children's television program to mutated, weapon-wielding lab rats.
Ep 1The Feverman
When a doctor is unable to heal a man's sick daughter, the desperate father goes to a 'Feverman', a mysterious healer who literally fights the illness by summoning a physical manifestation of it from within the patient. The doctor, angry at the father's belief in superstition, tries to expose the Feverman as a fraud. In doing so, not only does he learn the truth, but there's also a price to pay for faith.
Ep 2Holly's House
Katherine is the star of Holly's House, a popular children's television show. Holly herself is a remote-controlled child-size robot. When Katherine is linked to the robot via wires and radio waves, she can make Holly walk and talk like a real person. Lenny, who plays 'Mike the Mailman', has gotten Katherine pregnant and asks her to marry him. But a stressed-out Katherine begins to think Holly is talking to her, and 'Holly' becomes jealous of Lenny and others on the show. Is Katherine going mad, or is something sinister going on?

Ep 5My Zombie Lover
One night each year, the dead come back to life. A young zombie falls for his living female classmate but his hunger for human flesh and her prejudiced, zombie hunter father stand in the way of their happiness.
