Masters of Horror starts this Friday

Source: Mobius

Just a quick heads-up to all you US horror aficionados out there: Anchor Bay's Masters of Horror series begins airing this Friday on Showtime, just in time for Halloween. The schedule for the next few weeks looks like this:

Incident On and Off a Mountain Road by Don Coscarelli
Dreams in the Witch House by Stuart Gordon
Jenifer by Dario Argento
Deer Woman by John Landis
Chocolate by Mick Garris

This is shaping up to be a great-looking series. I hope it gets an airing in the UK at some point, but I have my doubts. Oh well - the title that's of most relevance to me, Jenifer, has (I believe) already been confirmed for a 2006 DVD release by Anchor Bay.

  • I just saw the first episode, Incident by Bubba Hotep director Don Coscarelli. It's certainly not groundbreaking, but nonetheless refreshing, as well as entertaining. A woman survives a serial killer by remembering what her survival nut, redneck husband taught her (shown in flashbacks). It definitely does well in creating mood and tension. The first twenty minutes will have you not knowing what to expect, but afterwards, it's pretty easy to figure the outcome. The overall feel of the show definitely has Shotime's "better than TV but not quite cinematic" feel. It reminds me of a superior version of "Tales from the Crypt".
