The innovative, thirteen-installment series has taken the horror genre to new creative and commercial heights. Available on DVD since March, each one-hour Masters of Horror film elevates the genre to a new standard in terror, written and directed by many of the genre's leading practitioners.

"I'm thrilled to see that Masters of Horror is filling the appetite the fans have for original horror, made by people who love and know it best," said Mick Garris, series creator and Executive Producer. "We hoped that if we could present the horror audience with films that were free of studio and network intervention, that we could provide them a great variety of fear in all its forms, they would respond. And it seems to be working, all around the world."
