Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs

Mick Garris, directorial veteran of Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories and the features Critters 2: The Main Course and Psycho IV: The Beginning, helms this installment in the hair-raising Masters of Horror series, from an original screen story authored by best-selling novelist Clive Barker. Tyron Leitso stars as Rob Hanisee, an aspiring writer greeted by an odd spiritual manifestation during his stay at a Yaddo-like writer's retreat. It takes the form of a sexy and voluptuous woman who calls herself his "muse" -- a naked woman covered from head to toe with an otherworldly slime. Now, Rob must determine if she is a force for good, or the ultimate evil. Christopher Lloyd (Suburban Commando) co-stars.
