Husband has been wanting this for a long time as the vhs set has been lost. It came in good condition with a little wear and tear on the box set case even though it was in plastic.

I avoided this series for years because it looked silly, like a "kids" show. After finally running out of other things on my shelf I tuned in for an episode (streaming) - after a couple of episodes in, I broke down and bought the disk set. If you liked Tales from the Darkside and The New Twilight Zone then I would almost guarantee you will like this. It's heavy on practical effects, some of which are "low budget" by today's standards. I am tempted to think this series was developed to give young practical effects/makeup/prosthesis techs a steady venue to ply their trade and gain experience for the big league (mainstream movies etc.). It has that mid-to-late eighties atmosphere that a lot of us treasure nostalgically. The stories are imaginative, sometimes scary, sometimes just fun.

Durring the late 80's/early 90's, horror anthology TV shows were all the rage. You had show's like Tales From The Darkside, Friday The 13th: The Series and Freddy's Nightmare's all doing well with their respective airings....it was only natural that a show like Monsters would thrive and become a hit and absolute cult classic of the genre. As a kid, nothing was better on a Saturday night than grabbing some popcorn and soda, turning off all the lights, slipping under the covers and tuning in to back to back airings of both Tales From The Darkside and Monsters. The show was cutting edge for it's time with a good amount of gore and violence being shown, and despite the show's low budget, the make-up effects were really well done. In my personal opinion, Monsters was darker in tone that Tales From The Darkside, although Monsters had a few lighthearted episodes. All in all, I give this series a 10/10 for being such an entertaining horror show, for being scary for it's time, and for being one hell of a fun time. If you're a horror fan, do yourself a favor and pick up this great set.....you won't regret it.

I bought this set because I loved the TV series. I wasn't disappointed at all. It has all of the episodes on nine DVDs presented in a basic but presentable box with inserts for each DVD set. For fans of this TV series, it will bring back fond memories of watching this when it was broadcasted.

Keep in mind, the monsters in the series aren't the high quality props you see in today's shows or movies but they're still fun to watch. Many of the episodes are kind of campy but that's what made this series fun. There's no CGI monsters in these videos since they were made back in the 80's and early 90's. However, I adore the physical nature of the monsters and effects and this series is a must have for people who enjoyed sci-fi/fantasy back in that era.

Overall, I really enjoy this DVD set and I'm very happy to have it in my collection.

Classic '80s/early '90s monster anthology series with surprising variety in episode styles (horror, occasional comedy, camp, etc.). There's a creative new monster every week and good practical effects throughout (almost always better than CGI, in my opinion). The DVD case liners also come with episode lists and a one-line synopsis for each episode. This series may not be as well known as Tales from the Dark Side, but if you liked TftDS there's a good chance you'll like Monsters as well.
