Those of you with a print subscription to Variety may have noticed a nifty little insert today. Namely the titles, synopsis’ and behind the lens info for all 13 episodes of Showtime‘s MASTERS OF HORROR series.
Fortunately for those of us who stick with the online stuff, Moriarty over at AICN posted all the info along with some of his own comments. Pretty cool since he is co-writer of one of the episodes and has none other than John Carpenter directing his baby! That info is shown below:
CIGARETTE BURNS
dir. John Carpenter
Screenplay by Drew McWeeny & Scott Swan
Jimmy Sweetman knows how to find rare film prints. However, nothing could prepare him for the daunting search for LA FIN DU MONDE, a film allegedly shown only once and rumored to have driven its audience into a murderous frenzy before the theater mysteriously erupted in flames. Working for a shadowy patron, Jimmy’s increasingly obsessive investigation becomes nightmarish and deadly. Finally he discovers LA FIN DU MONDE’s infamy is well deserved. This supernatural CHINATOWN is a chilling look at the power of cinema and the lengths to which we will go to satiate our private demons.
Nice, eh? Now click here to check out the rest of the info and let your genre heart soar like Brooke Burke has just asked you to be her cabana boy.
