The

Available on

Masters of

written and
directed by
many of the
genre’s
leading
practitioners.
“We at Starz
Home
Entertainment
are
extremely
gratified
that
consumers
have made
Masters of
Horror an
integral
part of
their home
entertainment
libraries,”
observed
Bill Clark,

and General

“I’m
thrilled to

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.”
