Well here it is my vote for best of the first season of Masters of Horror, Joe Dante’s Homecoming.  A great, great episode and to me what this series should be all about Homecoming is biting, bitter, poignant, creepy and full of political satire.  It truly is brilliant.  Read on for the official press release from Anchor Bay.  All your questions should be answered:

 

Sometimes Horror Reaches From Beyond The Grave Into The Headlines…“Homecoming” directed by Joe Dante, perhaps the most controversial feature of the critically-acclaimed Masters of Horror anthology series, bows on DVD on Tuesday, July 11th, from Anchor Bay Entertainment, an IDT Entertainment company.   Decorated with a phalanx of bonus features, “Homecoming” brandishes an SRP of $16.98. Pre-book is June 7, 2006.

 

The subject of intense debate since its first airing and featured in The Los Angeles Times and Newsweek magazine, Joe Dante’s (The Howling, Gremlins, Looney Tunes Back In Action), “Homecoming” blends zombie horror and contemporary political satire with chilling – and timely -- results. Terror and scandal grip the nation when dead soldiers rise en masse to have their voices heard one more time during the Presidential election. Based on the award-winning short story “Death and Suffrage” by Dale Baily and adapted by Sam Hamm (Batman), “Homecoming” stars Jon Tenney (Looking For Comedy in the Muslim World) and veteran Dante collaborator Robert Picardo (The Howling, Innerspace and TV’s “Star Trek Voyager”).
