League Of The Horror Masters

What is "Masters of Horror?" Showtime (USA Cable TV) has invited a famous directors (known for their long association with the horror genre), to direct one-hour TV episodes that deal with the misterioso and macabre. A different filmmaker directs each episode. John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper, John Landis, Dario Argento and Miike are some of the artists participating in the project. It is an interesting experiment that I hope turns out to be a success. I've seen a couple of these episodes and while they vary in quality, and think it is something that fans of horror will enjoy. Check your channel guide for times and dates. If you do not have Showtime, be patient, I'm sure the show will eventually be released on DVD/VHS.
