From Creaturecorner.com:
Showtime's Prez of Entertainment, Robert Greenblatt, announced yesterday that they will, indeed, renew their 'Masters of Horror' original anthology series. Thirteen new, one-hour segments will be lined up again and directed by a new group of genre directors. IDT will again be the production company behind it all.
"The first season, which USA Today called "a horror hall of fame," premiered on SHOWTIME in Fall 2005 and featured such horror film legends as Dario Argento ("Suspiria," "Opera"), John Carpenter ("Halloween," "The Thing"), Larry Cohen ("It's Alive"), Don Coscarelli ("Phantasm" "Bubba Ho-tep"), Joe Dante ("The Howling," "Gremlins"), Mick Garris ("Riding the Bullet," "The Stand"), Stuart Gordon ("Re-Animator"), John Landis ("An American Werewolf in London"), Tobe Hooper ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre,""Poltergeist") William Malone ("feardotcom"), Lucky McKee ("May) and John McNaughton ("Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer") directing original one-hour films."
Everyone involved (sorry no new directors announced yet. Although Mick Garris is still listed as the spear-head.) appears to be very excited about the continuation of the series. As am I.
"Masters of Horror grew out of an informal bi-monthly dinner attended by many of the horror genre's most highly regarded directors. Mick Garris transformed their collective desire to work together into reality, and will continue to serve as the series' showrunner."
I am very jazzed about this. Lessee... Maybe we can look forward to del Toro scraping a month out of his schedule?
