Title: Help with an old monster show
Post by: Dr Spankenstein on March 13, 2013, 06:48:11 PM
I need help with an old monster show I saw as a kid.  It would have been in the late 80s, possibly early 90s when I saw it, but I remember a group of people searching in an old tomb, maybe Egyptian, and a giant orange monster was stalking them.  I found an episode from the Monsters TV show, but I'm not convinved that was it.  Any ideas?

No, it wasn't a cartoon.

And Gossamer was red.

If it was an anthology series, maybe it was "R.L. Stine's Goosebumps"? Or perhaps "Friday the 13th: The Series"? Kinda would help to have more info to go on.

That's what makes it difficult.  I was a little kid and don't remember much.  I don't think it was the Goosebumps show, because it wasn't geared towards kids.  At first I thought it might have been Tales From the Darkside, but it's not that.   The closest thing I found was the Feverman episode of Monsters, but I remember the monster being more of a monster, and less of a fat guy painted orange, so I'm not convinced it was that.

I'm going to guess that it wasn't "Annoying Orange: Tomb Raider." :P

What about Gargoyles starring Cornel Wilde, it had a cave or it could have been Spectre with Robert Culp, both featured monsters. To add to that list the Norliss tapes again a creature featured.
