The innovative “Masters of Horror” anthology series gets unleashed in collected form on August 28, from Anchor Bay Entertainment. Housed in a specially designed “mausoleum” (above), the box
set contains all 13 DVDs from the series’ first season — each disc boasting two
to three hours of bonus features — as well as a special 14th disc of all-new, never-before-seen
footage. Winner of numerous accolades, including an Emmy and two Saturn awards,
the “Masters of Horror” season one box set will be limited to 20,000 units, so
once the mausoleums are gone, there will be no resurrection.

“We really wanted to give the fans something special for the
season one box set, as a thank you for their unwavering support,” explains Mick
Garris, the series’ creator and executive producer. “We’ve always strived to
make ‘Masters of Horror’ something truly unique within the genre, far from the
remakes and sequels synonymous with modern horror, and now fans can enjoy season
one in its entirety, and as a single experience.”

The “Masters of Horror” set presents each episode complete
and in its entirety, in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen and riveting Dolby digital
5.1 surround sound. Housed on separate discs, the 13 episodes include John Landis’ fantastic Deer Woman, William Malone’s Fair Haired Child, Stuart Gordon’s Dreams in the Witch House, Lucky McKee’s Sick Girl, Joe Dante’s superb Homecoming and eight more hour-long films. Each disc features up
to three hours’ worth of value-added supplements, including audio commentaries from
the filmmakers, behind-the-scenes featurettes, career retrospectives, festival
interviews, picture and storyboard galleries,
trailers, DVD-ROM versions of the scripts and more. The set’s bonus disc
contains a “Masters of Horror” dinner, with Garris and the season one directors
gathered at Hollywood’s legendary Magic Castle; a “Masters of Horror” DGA panel
discussion; and special interviews, conducted by Garris, with filmmakers Steven
Spielberg and John Boorman.
