    Anyone seen this? Never even heard of it, until I stumbled across it accidentally - the premise is identical to Masters of Horror, a series of 50 minute long episodes based on King's short stories.

    Only flicked through Battlegrounds so far, the one based on the story in which a guy receives a parcel of Toy Soldiers, who promptly come to life and wage war against him.

    Very well made, my skin actually crawled as I watched the tiny muzzle flashes from underneath the dresser shooting tracers over the kitchen and a tiny rocket fly towards the protagonist from underneath the cupboard! It always was one of my favorite King stories, so to see it come to life, and come to life in a fashion that does justice to the work, is immensely pleasing...

    Anyone else?

    I loved this mini series! Especially the Battlefield episode, I realized at the end that there was absolutely no dialog!

    The only one I have not seen is the band one forget what its called, I've got the book and its on it.

    Where did you see it(directed to poster above me!) as I had to download it which was a balls.

    I watched them when they were released on R1 DVD last year. Some great stuff in there, Battleground being the standout, but like Masters there are some terrible episodes also. Crouch End, while effectively creepy is all a bit meh. Fans of King, and horror fans alike will find a lot to love but the casual viewer should give it a miss.
