Series overview

Synopsis

The first series is based on the book Leadbelly: Inside Australia's Underworld, by journalists John Silvester and Andrew Rule. The series also borrows the title 'Underbelly' from a previously successful series of 12 True Crime novels by the same authors. Three direct tie-in novels, based on the first three seasons, were also later published by the same authors as part of this series, and a separate 16th book (Underbelly: The Golden Casket) was published in 2010. The fourth series is based on the book Razor by crime author Larry Writer, which was subsequently republished as a tie-in. A fifth tie-in novel, by Andy Muir, was published for the final series. Despite being part of the Underbelly series, the first 12 books have never been republished with the famous 'Underbelly' logo, and the logo was only used from books 13 to 18(inc 'Golden Casket', and the republishing of 'Razor').

Monsters!

"Monsters!" is the first segment of the fifteenth episode from the first season (1985–86) of the television series The Twilight Zone.

Plot

Toby Michaels and his father are monster fanatics and Toby's room is full of monster movie memorabilia. When a new neighbor moves in, Toby goes next door to see if there are any children to play with. He meets the neighbor, Emile Bendictson, who notices Toby's monster interest and his vast collection through the window. In the course of the conversation, Emile reveals that he is a vampire, but Toby does not believe him because Emile is outside and it is still daylight. Emile just laughs it off, but Toby goes home to tell his tale to his parents. They, of course, dismiss it too.

Toby decides to spy on Emile, who has enough strength to lift the front end of his car while polishing it. Toby gets caught by Emile and tries to protect himself with garlic and a crucifix. Emile laughs and tells him that most of what he has read about vampires is not accurate. To illustrate this, Emile treats the boy to a garlic-filled Italian dinner. Emile tells Toby he wishes to just live out the rest of his days. Later, Toby goes to Emile's house and finds hospital bags of blood in the bottom of a closet. Then Toby begins to get sick, which his parents think is a case of the flu.

Trousers

Trousers (pants in North America) are an item of clothing worn from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately (rather than with cloth extending across both legs as in robes, skirts, and dresses).

In the UK the word "pants" generally means underwear and not trousers.Shorts are similar to trousers, but with legs that come down only to around the area of the knee, higher or lower depending on the style of the garment. To distinguish them from shorts, trousers may be called "long trousers" in certain contexts such as school uniform, where tailored shorts may be called "short trousers", especially in the UK.

In most of the Western world, trousers have been worn since ancient times and throughout the Medieval period, becoming the most common form of lower-body clothing for adult males in the modern world, although shorts are also widely worn, and kilts and other garments may be worn in various regions and cultures. Breeches were worn instead of trousers in early modern Europe by some men in higher classes of society. Since the mid-20th century, trousers have increasingly been worn by women as well. Jeans, made of denim, are a form of trousers for casual wear, now widely worn all over the world by both sexes. Shorts are often preferred in hot weather or for some sports and also often by children and teenagers. Trousers are worn on the hips or waist and may be held up by their own fastenings, a belt or suspenders (braces). Leggings are form-fitting trousers, of a clingy material, often knitted cotton and spandex (elastane).

Monsters (Funeral for a Friend song)

"Monsters" was the second single released from Funeral for a Friend's second album Hours. It charted at number 36 in the UK. The song received a large amount of airplay on Radio 1 at the time, but did not chart that well and is one of the few singles not to appear on their Greatest Hits compilation Your History Is Mine: 2002-2009.
