The Masters of Horror Episode Showtime Refused to Air Imprint's subject matter proved even Showtime has its limits. That is until the season 1 finale, Imprint, directed by Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike. Airing on Showtime, content restrictions were basically nonexistent allowing for lots of blood, violence, and sex. While it's true that some of the director picks were a bit questionable in their status as 'masters' of the genre, Masters of Horror still tends to be fondly remembered by horror fans, despite its brief two-season length.

The anthology show has never entirely gone away though, even in the lean times, such as the 2000s. It doesn't seem likely that the anthology program will ever reach the glorious heights of pop culture ubiquity it enjoyed back in the 1960s, or again in the 1980s, but at least fans of the format now have some good options to watch once again. For a while, it was just in the form of season-long stories that change each year, like American Horror Story, but now more and more shows are arriving that tell a new story with new characters each episode. In the current age of peak TV, with every broadcast, cable, premium cable, and streaming outlet pumping out dozens of scripted shows, there seems to be a revival of the anthology format going around.
