History is in the making with this series. Some of the greatest horror directors of all time (and some that while not legendary are very good and know their art very well) have been given free run to direct their own one hour movie for a TV series. We've all seen horror series' before, some quirky, some scary, some forgettable. This is what a series of horror shorts should be what future series' will aspire to.
The episodes have had their ups and downs and surprisingly some of the downs are from the more legendary directors. For example so far the weakest two episodes (in this viewers opinion) have been directed by Horror legend Dario Argento and ground breaking director John Landis (though his story was only let down by poor acting). Meanwhile there have been a few surprises (most notably Don Coscarelli, a less well known director but well respected by those that have seen films such as Phantasms and Beast Master). I'll do a review of each episode after the series is complete. The episodes have been pretty consistent with only one so far (Argento's) being a disappointment.
