Even though I liked his "Masters of Horror" episodes a bit better than you did, I had no high hopes that this was going to be anything but another autopilot project for Carpenter. Like Romero, if Carpenter never makes another great film, I won't feel too put out about it, because his body of work overall is pretty great. I think most people can agree that Carpenter had a hell of a great run in the '70s and '80s, even if it took a lot of people 15 or 20 years to realize it. They can't all get as lucky as Wes Craven and score some big latterday hits like Red Eye and Scream. <br /><br />This was a really good series, sir.
