MONSTERS (1988)S01E10: PILLOW TALK (1988)Horror Anthology RecommendationsMiles Magnus leads a double life. By day, he’s a renowned author of horror fiction, not unlike your Stephen Kings or your Clive Barkers. By night, however, Miles is something else: a faithful servant to his Master, the toothy, Lovecraftian horror that lives inside of his bed and helps him with story ideas. The Master wants only to feed, and so Miles feeds him well, bringing home dates and luring them into his bedroom… not to make love, but to sate his Master’s evil appetite.Yes, you read that correctly.This is, hands down, the strangest anthology episode I’ve written about so far. But that’s what makes anthology horror so great! The stakes are lower than with feature length, big budget projects; you get to explore the truly weird and wildly creative ideas that are normally discarded because they’re too strange to devote a whole movie to. And while this one is very strange, it’s still excellent, with great practical effects, a dry sense of humor, and a twist that’s just ridiculous enough to feel appropriate for this kind of story.MONSTERS (1988), as a whole, is an underrated series - if you can get your hands on it, check this episode out first. -- source link
