- TriviaAccording to creator Mick Garris, the directors involved were given free rein as to what stories they told; however they wanted to tell them. But when Showtime came on board, they laid out a handful of rules. One was that there could be no full-frontal male nudity. Another was that there could be no violence committed on a child by another child (but violence by adults on children or children on adults was acceptable).

Featured review
A mixed bag.
When I learned of this series, I was thrilled. I'm a big follower of some of the directors involved, such as Tobe Hooper, John Carpenter or Dario Argento, and the idea that they would be given freedom and resources to direct one-hour self-contained horror stories made me shiver with anticipation.
The results, however, are a mixed bag. Don't take me wrong, most of the directors involved seem to be in good shape, and the stories have potential, but the writing and the acting are, with some notable exceptions, just by the numbers.
Anyway, if you like horror you won't mind spending a few hours with the lesser episodes. They're still above average, and the series has enough hidden gems to keep you wanting more.
My favorite episodes were, in no particular order: "Incident on and off a road mountain" (Don Coscarelli), "Cigarette Burns" (John Carpenter), "Deer Woman" (John Landis)and "Sick Girl", directed by Lucky McKee.
I just heard the series has been renewed for another season. All I can say is that I will keep watching it.
