John Landis attempts to kill something else…

John Carpenter is questioned about a new TV project:

Q: What’s going on with “Masters of Horror?” [An upcoming anthology show.]

CARPENTER: Well, it’s a little series that we’re doing for Showtime. We have an hour — each of us has an hour to shoot in 10 days. And the first director they got was John Landis. He’s now way over budget and way over schedule. So there may not be any more “Masters of Horror.” He may do them in.

You’ve still got that magic touch, Landis!

    Sure, sure, the mediocre American Werewolf things. Out of how many films?

    He has made some good comedies. Let him do a show on that.
