Masters of Horror (Seasons 1–2)

Masters of Horror (2005) is a US-Canadian anthology series you can watch online on iFILM. One episode, one director, one standalone nightmare — that is the format. Creator Mick Garris brought together John Carpenter, Joe Dante, Tobe Hooper, Dario Argento, John Landis, Stuart Gordon and a dozen other filmmakers who collectively built the horror genre into what it is today.

Because the show aired on Showtime's cable platform, each hour-long episode ran without the cuts and compromises of network broadcast. The result is part collective genre statement, part duel: who can go furthest? Guest casts rotate across episodes — Robert Englund, Fairuza Balk, Michael Ironside, Meat Loaf, and others take turns in stories that range from supernatural dread to visceral shock.

If you want horror with a genuine filmmaking signature behind every episode, this is where to look. Stream all episodes of Masters of Horror (2005) online on iFILM.
