The world could always use more horror anthologies.
Remember the Showtime series “Masters of Horror”? The show, which spanned two seasons and 26 episodes, featured new horror films from masters like John Carpenter, John Landis and Tobe Hooper, and it was the brainchild of Mick Garris. A master in his own right, Garris has directed everything from Critters 2 to The Shining miniseries, and he’s got more horror on the way.
In an interview with Nerdist, Garris just let it slip that he’s working on a new horror anthology!
Garris told the site:
I’m working on putting together an anthology movie that will be coming together very soon. It’s kind of secret right now but we are well into it and just making something I think, for genre fans of which I count myself one, will be very, very happy with and excited about.
He didn’t dig any deeper into the project, but we can’t help but wonder if Garris has once again put together an all-star team to make something special for us fans. Garris also created the NBC anthology series “Fear Itself,” so he’s certainly got a knack for bringing together fan-favorite horror filmmakers and letting them do their thing. Could the new film be an extension of that?
We’ll report more as we learn it.
