Details

• Release Year: 2002
• Genre: Horror
• Plot: Experience Terrifying Visions From The Greatest Minds In The Genre - These Are The Masters Of Horror.; ; John Carpenter changed the course of cinematic horror with Halloween. Cigarette Burns is equally challenging and mysterious, and goes deeper into obsession as a young film fanatic tracks down a fabled film that drives its audience mad... to the point of murder.; ; Dreams In The Witch-House reunites director Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator with the world of H.P. Lovecraft. There's something quite mythological about the mysterious house a young student takes up residency in, and Gordon takes us further into the dark madness than expected.; ; Chocolate, based on a short story by writer/director Mick Garris (The Stand), takes an obsessive love story and turns it into a tale of horror. Perhaps true love is impossible... at least in a Masters Of Horror story.; ; Dance Of The Dead, director Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) is the only film in the series to date to be set in an apocalyptic future. Based on a short story by Richard Matheson, Dance tells a tale of the dead being revived to entertain the bored hoards of the future.; ; Don Coscarelli's Incident On And Off A Mountain Road breathes new life into Joe Lansdale's classic horror story. Coscarelli, who came to prominence with his Phantasm movies, presents a backwoods Chainsaw-like story, putting a strong female protagonist up against her right-wing, survivalist boyfriend, as well as a deformed killer in a shack in the woods...; ; Clive Barker's short story Haeckel's Tale is the series' first historical costume drama. John McNaughton, who created the unforgettable Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer, brings the dead to life in a story that owes a lot to Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, and Hammer films. But McNaughton takes us far beyond where erotic and horrific elements combine to create a different kind of life after death.
