Masters of Horror", which debuts o­n Showtime in time for Halloween and runs through the end of January 2006, features 13 chilling hour-long films directed by top North American horror auteurs, including John Carpenter ("Halloween"), Tope Hooper ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre"), John Landis ("An American Werewolf in London"), Don Coscarelli ("Phantasm"), Mick Garris ("The Stand"), Stuart Gordon ("Re-Animator"), and William Malone ("FearDotCom"). The series also attracted several huge international directors, including Dario Argento ("Suspiria") and Takashi Miike ("Audition"). Each episode in the anthology will include music from the soundtrack.

In addition, videos were recently shot for IT DIES TODAY's "Enjoy the Silence" and Buckethead and Tankian's "We Are o­ne". 

The "We Are o­ne" video features Tankian as a derelict vagabond that collects animal carcasses for Buckethead, a benevolent cabin dweller who attempts to bring the dead animals back to life. In his attempt to resurrect the carcasses, Buckethead winds up being attacked by the mutating creatures. "I think the track lends itself well to the horror genre," Tankian says.
The Video Should be premiered o­n Oct., 29

"The feeling of 'horror' is a very particular o­ne," Andrew WK adds. "My song 'You Will Remember Tonight' attempts to take that dreadful feeling and manipulate it into some thing thrilling and exciting. I think that's essentially what horror movies are trying to do, too. It feels good to feel scared."

"Masters of Horror" developed out of an informal bi-monthly dinner attended by many of the horror genre's most admired directors. Garris, who spearheaded the series, took their ideas from the realm of fantasy into reality along with co-executive producer Andrew Dean, and will be the showrunner of the anthology. "Masters of Horror" is an IDT Entertainment production.
