(pod)Casters of Horror: A Journey Through 'Masters of Horror' Season 1 (2005-06)

Published: Oct. 6, 2024, midnight

Bennett Glace and Jim Hickcox are podcasting for their lives this Halloween season by talking through every episode of Season 1 of Showtime\u2019s 'Masters of Horror.'\xa0Jim and Bennett made a near-fatal mistake when they took a drive down a winding mountain pass. The pair barely survived an accident and they may soon wish they hadn\u2019t. Jigsaw himself has a challenge for them: record podcast episodes for each episode in 'Masters of Horror' Season 1. The catch? They can\u2019t talk for more than 20 minutes or the room will fill with poison gas. Will the pair make it through all 13 episodes of the series without betraying Jigsaw\u2019s unconscionable constraints of brevity?\xa0\n\nCreated by Mick Garris, Masters of Horror was a two-season series on Showtime that challenged genre legends to create an hour-long horror film. Check out the introduction to (Pod)Casters of Horror and stay tuned for discussions of underrated work from site-favorite filmmakers like Tobe Hooper, Stuart Gordon, and Larry Cohen, and horror icons such as John Carpenter and Dario Argento.
