Masters of Horror (3/31/05) series to be broadcast on Showtime.

Mick Garris
Dang! As if my cable bill isn’t expensive enough, now I have to seriously consider signing up for Showtime? “Masters of Horror” the series of one hour flicks by legendary directors being put together by Mick Garris (“The Stand”) will be broadcast on the premium channel. My understanding was this project was headed straight for video until now. Production begins next month.

Check out this line-up: joining Garris will be George Romero, Dario Argento, Tobe Hooper, Larry Cohen, Don Coscarelli, Joe Dante, Stuart Gordon, Roger Corman, John Carpenter, and John Landis. Now this is an EVENT!

The one I may be looking most forward to is Don Coscarelli’s project, “Incident on and off a Mountain Road” in which he is adapting another Joe R. Lansdale story as he did with his modern classic, “Bubba Ho-Tep”.
