While it may not be horror in every sense of the word, I think Joe Dante's Homecoming was brilliant. I don't like to watch political films or tv series, but this is different. Not because zombies are putting in their votes for president, but for the episode's jab at politics and all their little games. One can hardly fake surprise if it were true.
I have yet to see Deer Woman. SideNote: A fellow cinephile once made mention of the fact that of all the episodes, Mick Garris' is the only one that "looks" like a made-for-television production. After giving it some thought, it is quite noticeable how the "film" directors have the skill and creativity to break out of the tv-production budget and shoot a tv episode that's bigger than life. In the back of my mind, while watching Chocolate, I couldn't help but think it reminds me of Twilight Zone, not thematically of course...but visually. Have any of you noticed in any of the episodes?

Watched John Landis' Deerwoman last night. Its blatant and intrusive soundtrack really hits you, which I think is one of the episode's major flaws. The adequate acting and an amusing scipt creates a strange unreal atmosphere for me. Though I didn't like the anti-nature theme, it was good to see it end the way it did.
An intriguing introduction to the director, was starkly reminiscent of several X-files episodes. Onward to the list... my MASTERS OF HORROR Ranking List 1. Joe Dante's Homecoming 2. Tobe Hooper's Dance of the Dead 3. Don Coscarelli's Incident On & Off a Mountain Road 4. Stuart Gordon's Dreams in the Witch House 5. Mick Garris' Chocolate 6. John Landis' Deerwoman 7. Dario Argento's Jenifer

The two I have enjoyed watching most so far are: Dreams in the Witch House. Lovecraft, what can I say that hasn't already been said. He is brilliant and the episode did convey alot of the horror of the story. Dance of the Dead, I might just be biased here. I love Richard Matheson.
I'm looking forward to seeing Sick Girl. I recently saw the last venture comprised of the director Lucky McKee and actress Angela Bettis, May, it was strange but just twisted enough to work.

Do you know of any other director who brings Lovecraft to cellulose? Besides Carpenter...
Having seen Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator and From Beyond, it's evident how skillful he is in bringing the stories to life, masterfully blending together the horror elements with the supernatural/fantasy. The "thing" in From Beyond was very reminiscent of John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness. --- Just saw Cigarette Burns last night. It was a very shocking, gripping, and beautifully executed episode that literally burst out of its made-for-tv boundaries. Damn, damn, damn. This is just the kind of thing that makes me wonder why on earth hasn't he made any films in all these years?! Onward to the list... my MASTERS OF HORROR Ranking List 1. John Carpenter's Cigarette Burns 2. Joe Dante's Homecoming 3. Tobe Hooper's Dance of the Dead 4. Don Coscarelli's Incident On & Off a Mountain Road 5. Stuart Gordon's Dreams in the Witch House 6. Mick Garris' Chocolate 7. John Landis' Deerwoman 8. Dario Argento's Jenifer

Just saw Deer Woman and I really didn't care for it. It seemed too made for tv for me and some of the acting was simply horrible. I liked the story a bit and the reference to American Werewolf was funny but this one didn't really do it for me. Still have a few to see...

Cigarette burns is at the top of my list now, under witch house.
Anyway on a semi related note: Ever since I saw Deer Woman, I've been trying to think of what else I've seen that guy in. (The white cop or whatever) I'm thinking it was on an HBO show, before tales from the Crypt came on. Anyone know?
