Max Landis is the son of director John Landis with whom he co-wrote the script for this episode.

This episode makes reference to Murph and the Magictones, a fictitious blues band featured in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers, which was also directed by John Landis.

The climactic scene where the werewolf goes on a rampage and is subsequently shot in Piccadilly Circus is referenced in this episode, implying that the two events take place in a shared continuity.

Director John Landis is best known for directing the 1981 horror classic An American Werewolf in London.

Men who are lured into her presence often notice too late that she is not a natural woman and are then stomped to death. Director: William Malone Stars: Lori Petty, Lindsay Pulsipher, William Samples, Jesse Haddock. Deer Woman is often said to have all the features of a normal young woman, except her feet which are shaped like deer hooves and her brown deer's eyes. A warlock couple abduct a young teenage girl to sacrifice her to a mysterious and evil entity as an offering to resurrect their long-dead boy.

It was released as a stand-alone DVD by Starz Entertainment and Anchor Bay Entertainment on June 27th, 2006. All material must relate to Julia Benson.

It is also included on Volume 1 of the Masters of Horror: The Complete First Season Blu-ray boxset collection. This episode is included in the Masters of Horror Season One DVD boxset collection.About 3 1/2 stars (for me, the most enjoyable episodes have only been 4 stars), this is better than you might expect from someone with such an undistinguished horror resume. The acting is solid, the effects are good-all in all, I found this to be a worthwhile episode. Borrowing elements from the tepid "What Lies Beneath," and even "Hellraiser," the scariness of this episode is far less inventive than the shrewd appropriation of the Right To Die controversy. The horror sequences are effective enough-if somewhat familiar. That's what makes this episode unique, and there is genuine humor that is mined from this topic. I particularly liked the juxtaposition of the traditional horror story with the "Right to Die" political debate. Every time her heart fails, but before she is revived, her gruesome specter is on the move seeking retribution on those that have wronged her in life. Oh but there's one complication, his wife's spirit is restless. Covered in burns, unrecognizable, and not able to live without technological intervention-the episode wrestles with whether or not Donovan should humanely let her die. Existing in a troubled marriage, Donovan's situation goes from bad to worse as a horrible car accident puts his wife in a coma.

Martin Donovan, an indie film stalwart whose deadpan delivery I have always admired, stars as the film's protagonist. In fact, it's rather solid with an unexpected and appreciated cleverness. "Right to Die," however, is not a bad entry in the "Masters of Horror" series. Rob Schmidt is, perhaps, one of the more dubious choices to fulfill a "Masters" criteria-his most notorious horror work is the film "Wrong Turn." And while I'm sure that film has its admirers, it is ultimately just another of countless derivations of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" complete with young couples isolated in the woods being stalked by hillbilly murderers. Looking at their slate of directors, there are some obvious choices-but disappointingly the undisputed "Masters" haven't necessarily turned in the best episodes of this show. "Just what qualifies someone to be called a "Master" in the horror genre? That's a question I've asked several times in the two seasons of Showtime's "Masters of Horror" anthology series.
