Image: ShowtimeAcross two seasons of Showtime’s Mick Garris-created anthology series, which ran from 2005-2007, you’ll find 26 eerie episodes, each around an hour long, directed by, as the title suggests, the era’s reigning masters of horror: Don Coscarelli, Stuart Gordon, Tobe Hooper, Dario Argento, Joe Dante, John Carpenter, Larry Cohen, Takashi Miike, Ernest Dickerson, and others.

Sick | Official Trailer | Peacock OriginalThough up until very recently, John Hyams was probably best-known for directing a pair of Universal Soldier sequels, his profile got a huge boost with the much-buzzed-about recent release of Sick, a horror movie co-written by Kevin Williamson (Scream). His father, Peter Hyams, has directed sci-fi and horror films Outland, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, Timecop, The Relic, and End of Days, among others; he also gets an extra dose of coolness for having executive-produced The…
