Masters of Horror will bleed for youBy Bill Keveney, USA TODAYYou're in your house. The doors are locked. But it's too late.
They're here, to borrow a phrase from the 1982 scare classic Poltergeist. In this case, however, "they" are not ghosts but directors —Poltergeist's Tobe Hooper and 12 frightening colleagues — joining as the Masters of Horror for a 13-film anthology o...
