Author's Note - Masters of Horror

“Masters of Horror” was a series of hour long horror stories that aired on the Showtime network for two seasons during 2005 to 2007. What was interesting about this series was that each episode featured a famous guest director or the story was based off the work of a famous horror writer. Every guest involved had made an impact in the realm of horror at some point in their career, most notably during the 1980’s and 1990’s; such guests including John Carpenter, Stuart Gordon, Joe Dante, and John Landis for example. Each episode is stand alone and like any standalone episode, there are some amazing episodes and there are some amazingly horrible ones as well. The quality of the show also depends on the strength of the cast, and each episode become known for showcasing one or two known actors.
