Trivia:

According to creator Mick Garris, the directors involved were given free reign as to what stories they told, however they wanted to tell them. But when Showtime came on board, they laid out a handful of rules. One was, there could be no full frontal male nudity. Another was, there could be no violence committed on a child by another child (but violence by adults on children or children on adults was fine).

Goofs:

Continuity: In "Jennifer", Frank rolls up his car window after swatting a fly, but when he gets out of the car moments later his window is down.

Quotes:

Bruce: Everyone's sorry for something Ellen... I’ll survive.

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.
