“Masters of Horror” Creator Mick Garris Developing New Horror Anthology
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.
A heist turns nightmarish for Lizzy Caplan (Cobweb) in the offbeat comedy thriller Drag, and the SXSW darling now has an official release date.
Briarcliff Entertainment will release Drag in theaters on January 29, 2027.
The thriller follows “two estranged sisters who attempt to rob a secluded home in rural upstate New York. What begins as a simple burglary spirals into a nightmarish ordeal after one sister throws out her back and becomes immobilized on the second floor. As tensions rise and panic sets in, the sisters are forced into a painful and increasingly absurd fight for survival before the homeowner returns.”
It’s described as “Equal parts thriller and physical comedy,” which “explores sibling rivalry, physical pain, and the uniquely chaotic bonds of family.”
Lucy DeVito (“Little Demon”), John Stamos (“Full House”), and Christine Ko (“Dave”) also star.
The release announcement comes with a new look at Drag, introducing the estranged sisters caught in a heist nightmare.
Drag is co-written and co-directed by Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer, marking their feature debut.
The film is produced by Danny DeVito, Lucy DeVito, and Jake DeVito through Jersey Films 2nd Avenue.
Briarcliff CEO Tom Ortenberg called Drag “a brilliantly original film that’s suspenseful, hilarious, and completely unpredictable. The cast led by Lizzy, Lucy, John, and Christine are the magic that makes the concept work. Audiences are in for a huge treat.”
