Masters of Horror - Season 1

When stressed-out student Walter Gilman (Ezra Godden of DAGON) rents a room in a decrepit old house, his graduate thesis studies begin to take some very strange twists. He suffers nightmares about a voracious rat with a human face. He suspects that a gateway to another dimension may exist behind his wall and is seemingly seduced by a luscious she-demon who thirsts for souls of the innocent via a covenant that screams for blood. But when Walter must face the most depraved urge of all, will the line between madness, murder, and unholy mayhem be crossed forever? Chelah Horsdal (THE CABIN IN THE WOODS) and Jay Brazeau (INSOMNIA) co-star in this disturbing shocker directed by Stuart Gordon, co-written by Gordon & Dennis Paoli (RE-ANIMATOR), and based on the infamous short story by horror master H.P. Lovecraft.

In the near-future when nuclear war has turned much of our world into wasteland, the youth of America have become drug-crazed sociopaths who lawlessly prowl what's left. But for pretty teenage Peggy (Jessica Lowndes of TV's 90210), her sheltered life is far removed from the underground club The Doom Room where a depraved MC (Robert Englund of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) provides immoral entertainment for the murderous masses. Jonathan Tucker (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) co-stars in this extreme shocker adapted by Richard Christian Matheson from the celebrated short story by his father Richard Matheson (writer of I AM LEGEND, REAL STEEL) and featuring music by Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins.

Frank Spivey (Steven Weber of THE SHINING, THE STAND, DESPERATION) is a detective who rescues a strange young girl (Carrie Anne Fleming of THE TOOTH FAIRY) with a horribly disfigured face and lusciously ripe body from a deranged killer. But when Spivey takes responsibility for the mentally challenged orphan, she reveals herself to be a creature of untold carnal pleasures and unspeakable violent depravities that may lead him straight to hell. The legendary Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA) directs this jaw-dropper that features a haunting score by Claudio Simonetti of Goblin (DAWN OF THE DEAD).

Jamie (Henry Thomas of GANGS OF NEW YORK) is a depressed young divorced man who creates artificial flavorings until the day his life is hijacked by a series of random sensory flashes. Psychically linked to an unknown beautiful woman, Jamie suddenly begins to experience all the pain, passion, and forbidden pleasures of her existence. But when a murderous vision rips his obsession wide open, Jamie is driven to track down and confess his love to this mystery mate. Will psychosexual hunger lead to the girl of his dreams or does the ultimate horror await the lonely man who tastes someone else's chocolate? Matt Frewer (DAWN OF THE DEAD, TV's EUREKA) co-stars in this sexy and twisted shocker written and directed by Masters of Horror creator Mick Garris, the director of THE STAND and THE SHINING.

It's a few weeks before the Presidential election and an unpopular war still rages overseas. But when the Republican administration wishes that our dead troops could return to tell America how proud they were to serve their country, veterans begin to rise from their flag-draped coffins for the most horrific reason of all: to vote. Are they gloriously resurrected heroes or braindead zombie dissidents? And even if the administration can devise the proper spin in time to steal their re-election, will an army of men and women killed for a lie finally show our nation the true face of hell? Jon Tenney (TV's THE CLOSER), Thea Gill (TV's QUEER AS FOLK), and Robert Picardo (TV's STAR TREK: VOYAGER) star in this provocative stunner from director Joe Dante (GREMLINS,THE HOWLING, PIRANHA) that The Village Voice calls "jaw-dropping and easily one of the most important political films of the era!"
