DVD/Blu-ray Releases
Rather than the expected packaging of the first season's episodes in one comprehensive set, Anchor Bay Entertainment originally released each episode individually, as well as in double and triple packs. Each DVD promises over three hours of bonus content, such as audio commentaries, interviews, and documentaries. These DVD releases also include covers and interior collector's cards painted by the Award-winning horror and fantasy artist Jeremy Caniglia. With the release of Homecoming, the cover art changed to a more mainstream appearance. With the DVD release of the Jenifer, it appears that Anchor Bay chose to produce artwork tailored to each episode. The Dead by Dawn film festival, which Anchor Bay supports, revealed in their festival guide that Anchor Bay UK had decided to stop releasing double pack editions and instead release a season one box set.
On August 28, 2007 the first season of Masters of Horror was released in a 14-disc box set. There was also a 6-disc Season One Vol. 1 set, and a 7-disc Season One Vol. 2 set. The 14-disc set consists of all episodes, each on an individual disc, plus a bonus disc with all new features.
The first season is also available in four volumes on Blu-ray Disc (volumes 1 and 2 on October 16, 2007, volume 3 on November 13, 2007, and volume 4 on December 11, 2007). Each Blu-ray volume includes 3 or 4 episodes on a single Blu-ray disc. They retain the audio commentaries from the DVD releases but do not include any of the other special features, e.g. documentaries, from the DVDs.
On July 29, 2008 the second season of Masters of Horror was released in a limited edition set featuring skull-shaped packaging. As of November 2009 there is no Blu-ray release of the second season.

Famous quotes containing the word releases:
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
