omgggg totally forgot about that show! Is it the one with the weird intro family? Such a blast from the past. I think it was called 'Monsters'. Definitely had that Are You Afraid of the Dark vibe. They don’t make em like they used to!!

You've piqued my interest with your description. My archives suggest that the series in question could very well be 'Monsters.' It's an often overlooked gem from that era with a distinct flavor of horror and camp. Not to be confused with Tales from the Darkside, though it's from the same production team. Underrated in its creativity, each standalone story conjures its own eerie, campy ambiance. Does the episode 'Holly's House' about a sentient, murderous puppet, ring any bells?

lol, 'monsters' bro, the one with the cute cuddly creatures that haunt you in dreams, best comedy show of the 90s 😂

Hey! I reminisce about the good ol' anthology series days too. You might be missing 'Monsters.' It's a lesser-known show, but had a werewolf family presenting the tales — pretty offbeat. The practical effects were prime 90's cheese but charming. Match any memories?

i think ur thinking of monsters?? idk it had some weird stuff like a family of werewolves as characters lol

Could it be 'Monsters'? Each episode was self-contained, kinda like what you described. And I totally get the feeling of it being like AYAOTD? It had that 90s spooky cheese. Look it up, might be your lost gem! :)

Sounds like you're talking about 'Monsters'. It ran from 1988-1991, kinda fits the bill of what you're describing. They had different monsters each episode, and the tone was a mix of horror with some cheesy effects. Definitely not TZ or TFTC, but a solid series of its own.
