The Resume

    (October 28, 2005-February 2, 2007)
    Showtime anthology series featuring episodes directed by top horror directors
    Directors included; John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper, John Landis, and Joe Dante
    Standout episodes included; 'Cigarette Burns,' 'The Damned Thing,' 'The Screwfly Solution,' and the pilot, 'Incident On and Off a Mountain Road'

Why Masters of Horror might be annoying:

    It was an overall disappointment critically and ratings wise.
    A lot of the episodes were simply boring.
    The episodes 'Dance of the Dead' and 'Valerie on the Stairs' were virtually incoherent.
    One episode was about a haunted racoonskin coat and another was about a cabal of cannibalistic descendants of George Washington.
    They used few regular sci-fi/horror writers, instead using career TV writers.
    Its only major award (or nomination) was an Emmy for its theme music.
    Only one episode was directed by a woman.

Why Masters of Horror might not be annoying:

    Overall, the writing was quite good.
    Unlike most cable series, the producers didn't go over board with nudity/violence/profanity and didn't go crazy with special effects.
    Instead of using big name actors and actresses, the producers used up and coming and B list performers including; Marisa Coughlan, Karen Austin, Bree Turner, Angus Scrimm, and Steven Weber, who all turned in superb performances.
    A CD of the show's excellent music was released.
