Masters of Horror Season One (2006)

continued...

... still exist in a can somewhere and detective Kirby Sweetman is gonna find it for a collector with a huge open wallet. But what Kirby finds is a film that may devour his soul.

Deer Woman / Directed by John Landis

I felt this episode was more comic relief than an creep story. I hate to ruin it for you, but...the title does what it says and says what it does. She's a Deer Woman....no, not very scary.

Homecoming / Directed by Joe Dante

Homecoming is the obligatory Night of the Living Dead tale but told with a political twist. Dead American soldiers have been infected by a chemical used on them overseas and now they're coming back for revenge.

Haekle's Tale / Directed by John McNaughton

Clive Barker penned this short story that is more graveyard erotica than scary tale. Almost a little too weird to watch without giggling.

Dreams in the Witch House / Directed by Stuart Gordon

Based on an H.P. Lovecraft short story, "Dreams" is about a young college student who slowly become possessed by a resident witch in the attic.

Incident On and Off a Mountain Road / Directed by Don Coscarelli

Is a survival horror tale about learning how to take care of yourself even though you think nothing terrible could happen to you...until, of course, it does. Like when you get into a car accident on an almost abandoned road and your kidnapped by a huge mankiller that's gonna drill your eyes out before he really hurts you. Shoulda' paid attention in Self-defence 101.

Fair-Haired Child / Directed by William Malone

The anniversary of a child's death has driven this couple to kidnap young girls to feed to the monster that will soon become their lost son.

Pick Me Up / Directed by Larry Cohen

Is a hitchhiker tale gone wrong. All deals are off when two battling murderers wanna take turn on unsuspecting travelers.

All of the episodes are currently available on DVD either separately or in a really nifty Mausoleum boxed set, how cute. Each one is worth a watch. It's surprising how each one feels like a separate entity apart from a series. There's also a Season Two not currently available in a collected box, but some of the season are available separately. There is no news yet of a 3rd season, but, cross your fingers. This show is a nice surprise.
