- John Howard Carpenter (born January 16, 1948) is an American filmmaker, actor, and composer. Although he worked in various film genres, he is most commonly associated with horror, action, and science fiction films of the 1970s and 1980s. He is generally recognized as one of the greatest masters of the horror genre.[1] At the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, the French Directors' Guild gave him the Golden Coach Award, lauding him as "a creative genius of raw, fantastic, and spectacular emotions".[2][3]
Carpenter's early films included box office and critical successes like Halloween (1978), The Fog (1980), Escape from New York (1981), and Starman (1984). His other productions from the 1970s and the 1980s only later came to be considered cult classics, and he has been acknowledged as an influential filmmaker. These include Dark Star (1974), Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), The Thing (1982), Christine (1983), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), Prince of Darkness (1987), They Live (1988), In the Mouth of Madness (1994), and Escape from L.A. (1996). He returned to the Halloween franchise as composer and executive producer of the sequel Halloween (2018).
Carpenter composed or co-composed most of his films' music. He won a Saturn Award for Best Music for the film Vampires (1998). He released four studio albums, titled Lost Themes (2015), Lost Themes II (2016), Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998 (2017), and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death (2021).
Wow, they really dont so it like this anymore. What an incredible interview.
June 2023: Happy 41st, "John Carpenter's The Thing"
Bill Lancaster's screenplay is up there with the very best of them.
THAT S WHY HE IS THE GOAT, THE GOAAAAAT
Thanks for this.
That stamp on the screen is annoying, lol! That said, what an excellent interview!
He was told by many in the industry not to show the face of the devil and went in the polar opposite direction. The flack he got for doing so was really unfair.
Best way to make sure you get no likes or subscribers: have a ridiculous watermark/logo that takes up half of the screen. 🙄
