For those of you who were fans of Fear Itself, and were disappointed that a stack of episodes never aired, get ready for September 15th as Lionsgate Home Entertainment will be releasing all 13 episodes on DVD, including four director's cuts and five unaired episodes! Read on for the skinny.

Today's most talented horror directors and writers including John Landis (An American Werewolf in London), Ronny Yu (Freddy vs. Jason), Mary Harron (American Psycho), Victor Salva (Jeepers Creepers), Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw IV), Sean Hood (Halloween: Resurrection) and Rupert Wainwright (The Fog) have teamed up to create a unique television experience that leaves viewers with nothing to fear but Fear Itself.

Fear Itself on DVD features 13 episodes, including four director's cut and five unaired episodes, from the chilling series that aired on NBC during the summer of 2008. The episodes - "Eater," "The Sacrifice," "Community," "In Sickness & In Health," "Spooked," "The Family Man," "New Year's Day," "Skin and Bones," "Something With Bite," "The Spirit Box," "Chance," "Echoes," and "The Circle" - feature great casts including Elisabeth Moss (TV's "Mad Men"), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), Clifton Collins Jr. (Star Trek) and James Roday (TV's "Psych").

In addition, each episode on the DVD includes a "Recipe for Fear" making of featurette that contains cast and director interviews along with behind the scenes footage that addresses what they each think is scary to them, and how they brought that to their short film. The 4-disc DVD set is encased in special collector's edition skeleton tombstone packaging. Pricing: DVD $29.98 (4-Disc Set)

Horror_Luva 8:11pm, June 22, 2009 No Blu-Ray release? That's not good :/

fceurich 8:55pm, June 22, 2009 will be getting this on dvd i never catched any episodes though

flesheater123 11:53pm, June 22, 2009 fuckin A... this was and amazing show... just didn't have the following. You know. Everybody loves having orgasms of crippled kids who house's get built or some fat bitch who can sing like a whale.

Boilersuit_Mayhem 6:31am, June 23, 2009 Meh, not as strong as 'Masters of Horror', but it had some okay episodes. So are these four 'director's cuts' the only uncensored episodes in the set? I was under the impression that the whole series would be unrated when it hit DVD?

Mightygil 11:57am, June 23, 2009 Awesome!!! Definitely getting this, some of the episodes were great (Family Man) although some were just terrible (New Years Day)

coffinjoe 12:15pm, June 23, 2009 I watched the episodes when they aired and enjoyed some of them. I think it is hilarious that you are calling some of these guys "Hollywood's most talented horror directors." Some of the films that they have made are downright crap. To put Sean Hood and Rupert Wainright in the same catagory as John Landis is blasphemy.

horrorfan1988 2:48pm, June 23, 2009 I will definately buy this set. I loved Fear Itself, and can't wait to see the final 5 episodes.

turtlenipple 4:52pm, June 23, 2009 Bloody Disgusting isn't calling them "hollywoods most talented horror directors", it's called a press release. Everything after 'Read on the for the skinny.' is copy/pasted from the press release and/or source website. I never liked any of these, I kind of enjoyed the John Landis one. Each week they got shittier and shittier and I just DVR'd them for bored days, never got any better.

HorrorFan101 9:43pm, June 25, 2009 I was so pissed when the other episodes werent aired. Now i'm psyked yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa
