Masters of Horror/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Several directors use familiar cast members from their films and almost every episode contains at least one well-known actor.
  • Playing with a Trope: What is of much interest to us Tropers, is how the series play with standard Horror Tropes. Take Incident On and Off a Mountain Road; at the beginning, it looks like a typical hapless-female-chased-by-a-psycho. Then it turns out she is not that hapless, being a wife of a Crazy Survivalist. And so on.
  • What Could Have Been: Lucky McKee very nearly got Randy Newman to score the "Sick Girl" episode in the first season. Newman was interested but had to turn it down due to coming down with a case of chicken pox. Jaye Barnes Luckett (McKee's usual composer) ended up doing the episode.
