As per title.

I saw this years and years ago and really want to add it to my collection. It starts with a man seeing a monster kill someone in an ally. The monster lets the man go as long as he promises to never tell anyone what he saw. He then proceeds to run into a bar there he meets his future wife.

Then years later the man becomes obsessed with what he’s seen and starts drawing pictures of what he saw around the living room. Then one night he tells his wife what he saw and she screams and shouts "you promised to never tell!" and turns into the monster. His baby in the room opposite turns into a monster as well I think. Can't really remember if anything else happens after that!

I'm not sure what TV show its from but I would guess a horror anthology show like Tales from the Crypt, The New Outer Limits or The Twilight Zone.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I also love The (New) Outer Limits. I have season 1 on DVD I really hope they get round to the other 6 seasons, but signs arn't so good at the moment for a 2007 release.

My favourite episodes are all from season 2:

A Stitch In Time
FBI agent Jamie Pratt has investigated some pretty strange cases in her time but this one may be the strangest of all. During the last fifty years, seventeen men throughout the country were all murdered with the same gun. This gun is traced to Dr. Theresa Givens, a scientist who recently left a top-secret government agency. This discovery deepens the mystery because Givens was only five years old at the time of the first murder. The gun itself hadn't even been made. While investigating further, Pratt discovers a secret that lies behind the locked door in Dr. Givens' office and learns first-hand of the temptations and dangers of undoing the evils of the past.

Vanishing Act
A husband leaves to go to the store and doesn't return for ten years. Where has he been? And why? It happens to Trevor McPhee and his return is more than a little distressing for his wife Theresa, especially since he insists he was in a car crash ... only hours ago. Then, just after they reconcile, he vanishes again ... for another decade. Trevor finds himself trapped between two worlds; one is a recurring nightmare of caves and predatory creatures; the other is the real world, ever-changing as civilization leaves him further and further behind. Is Trevor mad ... or just reaching The Outer Limits?

Mind Over Matter
Dr. Sam Stein has always lived for his work. His dedication has paid off with the development of the Computer Aided Visual Environment system of CAVE, which allows doctors to jack-in directly to the brain of patients. When an accident puts his colleague Rachael Carter in a coma, Stein decides to use CAVE for his own purposes, reaching into Rachael's brain to tell her what he couldn't while she was conscious: that he loves her. Stein discovers, however, that love takes strange turns when it enters CAVE's virtual world and that the complexities of the human heart are not easily translated into bits and bytes.

A horrible travesty of a brilliant short story (by George R R Martin) which got rid of the whole essential point of the story - that the main character was a complete bar steward.

I never read the book but the episode in itself is good imo :).
