Masters of Horror is an anthology television series created by director Mick Garris for the Showtime cable network.
Origin [ edit ♠ ]
In 2002, director Mick Garris invited some director friends to an informal dinner at a restaurant in Sherman Oaks, California. ♠ The original ten "masters" attending were John Carpenter, Larry Cohen, Don Coscarelli, Joe Dante, Guillermo del Toro, Stuart Gordon, Tobe ♠ Hooper, John Landis, Bill Malone, and Garris himself.
Subsequently, Garris organized regular dinners with the group and invited other horror and ♠ other genre directors to attend, including Dario Argento, Eli Roth, Wes Craven, David Cronenberg, Tim Sullivan, Rob Zombie, Bryan Singer, ♠ Fred Dekker, William Lustig, Lucky McKee, Ernest Dickerson, Katt Shea, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, James Gunn, Mary Lambert, Tom Holland, ♠ Peter Medak, Ti West, Lloyd Kaufman, and others. In 2005, Garris created and produced an original anthology television series of ♠ one-hour movies, written and directed by many of the "masters," which was originally broadcast in the U.S. on the Showtime ♠ cable network. In several international territories, the films were released theatrically.
The series debuted to excellent reviews in the U.S. on ♠ October 28, 2005, with the premiere episode "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road," co-written and directed by Don Coscarelli, ♠ based on the short story by Joe R. Lansdale. New episodes premiered every Friday at 10 p.m. EST throughout the ♠ series' two seasons. The show followed an anthology series format, with each episode featuring a one-hour film directed by a ♠ well-known horror film director. In 2009, Chiller began airing the show on their Sunday evening line-up of shows, and in ♠ 2010, Reelz Channel began airing episodes of Masters of Horror edited (despite keeping its TV-MA rating) and with commercials.[1]
