Amazon Prime isn’t just great because you get free two-day shipping on items you buy, it’s also great because it provides you with access to a pretty incredible streaming catalog. Did you know, for example, that Fright Night II is now streaming in HD on Prime!?

Yet another reason you need to sign up for Amazon Prime? We’ve just learned that the horror TV series “Monsters, which ran from 1988 to 1991, is now streaming on Prime!

All 72 episodes, across 3 seasons, can now be streamed at your leisure.

Wikipedia explains…

“Monsters is a syndicated horror anthology series which originally ran from 1988 to 1991 and reran on the Sci-Fi Channel (now known as Syfy) during the 1990s.

The series shares a producer (Richard P. Rubinstein) with Tales from the Darkside, and in some ways succeeded the show (which ended the same year it began). It differed in some respects nonetheless. While Tales sometimes dabbles in stories of science fiction and fantasy, this series is more strictly horror. As the name implies, each episode (with very few exceptions) features a different monster which the story concerned, from the animatronic puppet of a fictional children’s television program to mutated, weapon-wielding lab rats.

The series has featured cameos from celebrities including: Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller, Laura Branigan, Troy Donahue, Linda Blair, Deborah Harry, Kaye Ballard, Imogene Coca, Farley Granger, Pam Grier, Wil Wheaton, and Meat Loaf.”
