This tape has two of the MONSTERS television show episodes on it. The first, JAR, is about an inkeeper (Fritz Weaver) who keeps these killer, face-hugger like creatures in jars and sells them to people. A detective checks in, investigating a missing person, and he meets a lonely married woman (Gina Gershon) who's on the outs with her husband. She uses one of the creatures to devour her husband. In THE FARMER'S DAUGHTER Soupy Sales is a salesman who comes to the wrong house during a thunderstorm. He's offered shelter-and soon meets their beautiful daughter, who is not quite what she seems. She turns out to be a ghost and is looking for a man who will accept her for what she is. When we see what she really looks like it's an animatronic puppet that looks decidedly rubbery. Well, my memory of this series is far better than these particular episodes. I don't mind the limit of two sets but the monsters are a bit hokey and the stories themselves, while only 22 minutes apiece, seem like they are padded out for time.
