Shock Till You Drop has an exclusive about the latest John Carpenter flick Skin and Bones. As most of you probably know, Masters of Horror was dropped by Showtime (Still not sure why since I heard it was their second highest rated show at the time?) and Mick Garris renamed the show Fear Itself and moved it to ABC in a watered down version. So this is, in effect, Masters of Horror season 3.

Carpenter is my idol, so I’ll watch anything he does and get excited by anything he does. I thought Cigarette Burns was really good and thought Pro-Life was a heaping pile of crap.  I have no idea what to expect from Skin and Bones, but the fact that it is a horror western has me drooling in anticipation. The other interesting piece of news from the article is that they are indeed filming “uncut” versions for the DVD release. It seems Garris is nothing if not a wise business man. Get the money pile from ABC, then sell the real versions of the film to horror fans. That sort of pisses me off, but I’ll get over it.

It’s new Carpenter and it’s a horror themed Western. Here’s hoping it doesn’t have any stupid “knock you over the head” obvious social commentary.
