Last month, it was revealed that MASTERS OF HORROR would be getting a primetime network adaptation of the series titled FEAR ITSELF. The same creators behind the Showtime series would be leading this new anthology on the big network. After the announcement, skeptism ran high with horror fans that this could work on a primetime tv network slot. The issue was addressed at Spike TV's Scream Awards, reports Bloody Disgusting. Executive producer Mick Garris and Lionsgate are reporting that this series will be releasing bloodier versions--unedited and uncut-- on DVD format in 2008. This same strategy was used for the MoH series.
It has also been revealed that the same horror icons behind the Showtime series will be leading this new anthology. Tobe Hooper, Stuart Gordon and John Carpenter are already set to direct some of the first 13 episodes with more announcements coming soon. Also, one Stephen King story will be adapted for the series and 30 DAYS OF NIGHT creator Steve Niles will be writing another episode.
