I absolutely love the moment you see that Carpenter realize he gets to actually get good questions and time to answer them. He lights up and goes ahead.
😁 It helps that I’ve known John since 1978!
Carpenter is a True Master of cinema- one of the few directors that I truly idolize
John Carpenter the godfather of horror movies.
This is one of the best interviews of Carpenter i've come across, so glad i found this. And Garris lets him speak, unlike some others......
Thanks for the kind words. Be sure to follow our POST MORTEM podcast, where Carpenter--and 150 others--join me in conversation.
@@MickGarrisInterviews i will - and subbed already :) didn't expect a reply! and also, Masters of Horror was great!
John seems very humble and cool. I'd like to hang out with him.
Carl Ciadella he’s not unfortunately
@@melted776 what do you mean?
I’d smoke some weed, watch some NBA, and play some video games with him.
Thanks, all.
Excellent Interview Mr Garris from a true Master of Horror keep up the excellent work much appreciated.
Thanks. Glad you're enjoying them.
@@MickGarrisInterviews thanks Mick. And thanks for "Masters of Horror" series. It was a brilliant idea and I loved it
@@danseth5775 Many thanks!
@@mickgarris2555 no, thank you Mick
It's about three years old, I believe. Thanks, guys.
Mick, you need to know one thing: POST MORTEM fills the hole! It was the missing puzzle on UA-cam. Interviews with great horror makers on one place. You did some job.. Craven, Carpenter, Englund... Thnx. Hope to see you again in this part of Europe.
Many thanks! Glad you're enjoying them. And I hope to be back soon! Cheers!
Thanks so much, Jurica. Here's hoping the travels will bring me there. Cheers.
Wow, massive fan of both interviewer and subject!!! Thanks for inspiring the next generation of horror fans and filmmakers. I recently started my first film project and I am proudly influenced by both Mick and John!
What a legend!
Great Interview. He's one of my favorite filmmakers. He revolutionized the term, "Slasher films" for me.
If I were to name a director who's my favorite, it would be a tie between Ishiro Honda (I'm a huge Godzilla and kaiju movie fan) and John Carpenter, who made my favorite horror film of all time: The Thing. I've met Mr. Carpenter a couple of times and I told him that it was my favorite and I think I made him very happy when I said that. I also love Halloween, Assault on Precinct 13, The Fog, Christine, They Live... He's made very few movies that I don't like. He's a true master.
Excellent show and criminally underrated here on UA-cam. Fan of yours and the guests. Great work, Mick!
Another great interview!
Awesome interview!
Thanks for this. Fantastic interview.
Awesome show Mick! Keep 'em coming!
Amazing interview.
Keep 'em coming, Mick. Great stuff.
this was gold!
John Carpenter is my Howard Hawks totally love the way he see's the world and films.Thank you Mr Garris for these interviews
Thanks for effort Mick. Great work
Greatly appreciated, thanks!
Карпентер лучший режиссер, мое глубокое уважение к нему. Я учусь у него. Так прекрасно создавать атмосферу, отличный сюжет и уникальную музыку к фильму может только он.
I've just seen your interviews yesterday, and I'm blown away. Not only do they talk without judgement or fear, they really give intricates parts of their lives and it really goes beyond any kind of interviews. It's awesome.
Sometimes people see the film industry like magic, but it's not, and it is really helps seeing people like director talking frankly for us.
Thanks a lot Mick. Please do more!
So glad you're enjoying them. It's possible that there will be a new series of interviews, so keep your eyes open. You'll hear about it first here.
Such an underrated gem channel!! Answers so many questions from masters of the art
JasonVoorhees10100 So glad you’re enjoying it! Be sure to check out podcasts, with new shows posted every other Wednesday.
@@MickGarrisInterviews what does it feel like to have been in "Thriller" thats mindblowing 😂
i always love listening to horror directors offer their views on life and movies and this show is a godsend!!! great takes and questions on classic horror films we all love! Thanks and keep up the great work Mick!
Glad you're enjoying them!
I just discovered Mick Garris' channel, thank you for these interviews! John Carpenter is my favorite author. It's a pity he rarely talks about Prince of Darkness. I love that movie, the atmosphere, Lovecraftian story and it's quite scary. Today's horror movies mostly have a crappy or non-existent atmosphere (except The Witch). I wish he had a bigger budget for it.
John carpenter my childhood all over again
john carpenter my favourite director,writer i wanna see him back again in a new horror movie soon damned!also mick is a awesome writer the fly 2 if i remember right?
Hey Mick , If this is really you or not, and if it is , thank you so much for your time , and this is very cool of you. Really love your work, and your passion for creation and imagination. Thank you so much. Ive got more but we'll see how this goes. Love your work man. Inspiration. Intriguing interviews. Amen brotha. Thanks again
P.s. Got a funny story bout small screen theaters and 80s action flix wanna tell ya about.
Oh, it's me, all right. Many thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it. Cheers!
Mick Garris
Hey Mick , this is John Atkinson again. Ive been doin alot of writing , and have a very DIY ethos ( ya know, with a little/lotta help from my friends) on putting projects together. Any advice on financing , as far as putting stuff together? How I should approach it. You seem like a down to earth regular guy, and I really appreciate any response, know youre a busy guy. Figured I'd ask though. Also , what about selling scripts ( long or short) , and a good way to go about it. If you get a free minute and you feel like it. Thanks man. Once again very appreciated.
Your number 1 fan!!! (Haha)
Financing is a part of the package that I can't give any advice on. A necessary evil, but one I have no expertise or interest in. Good luck!
They Live...total classic. He's definitely a boss director, and it 's sad I don't do horror-flavored films, but he knows his biz.
Happy Birthday to John Carpenter!
Carpenter is DA BOSS
Halloween, The Thing, Christine, Escape From New York, Big Trouble In Little China, Starman, Prince Of Darkness 👍👍
I always see that you have a book with each interview do you have a list of the books
I wish Garris was still doing these!
Me Too and I Love When Mick Garris Does These Interviews!
David Cronenberg needs to be on here, Mick.
He’s been on the podcast!
Great interview...why so many cutting?
All true
ive been to bowling green
When I was a film student in the late 70's and early 80's, Assault on Precinct 13 was held up to us as a key work to emulate from the sense of basic film construction on a small budget. Halloween was to horror what Animal House (both from '78) was to comedy in the sense that they set patterns that dominated what we saw on the screens throughout the 80's and beyond. For all their influences, each film was a true original with a distinctive personal stamp. I would like to hear Carpenter speak in depth on westerns because I love them, too, especially about films made by directors other than Hawks and Ford. Not sure I can give his Ford comments a full endorsement. Scorsese is a master and he praises Ford. Welles and Kurosawa both cite him as a major influence, but Carpenter says "no good?" But yeah, Ford does get tiresome and isn't the be-all, end-all. To be honest, as much as I love Hawks, even he has gotten a bit tiresome for me (re-watched To Have and Have Not recently and found myself yelling angrily at the screen out of the blue), so no one is immune. And Hawks hated The Wild Bunch, but WB is a great film from a director who definitely mastered the art of being tiresome in large doses. Anyway, great interview and I hope Carpenter gets the chance to make at lest one more great film that can stand beside his very best.
John's views on Ford's work has evolved over the decades. I love how open he is with his opinions!
Great interview -- needs more views. Probably would get them if titled better.
..... Mick garris is a really good interviewer! Braviiiiiiisimo!
Thanks! We do our best.
Wasn't Mick Garris the same guy who interviewed John Landis John Carpenter and David Cronenberg back in the 1980's
Mick Garris - Great director, greater interviewer!
I would love to see him chat with Quentin Tarantino. Two great directors.
Hey Mick. I was just wondering if you are aware of any upcoming convention appearances John is going to do? I'm asking because John Carpenter is my idol and one of the things on my bucket list is to meet him.
Met him yet?
@@southlondon86 nope
@@southlondon86 I tried making my own zombie movie back when the zombie craze was at its high. There was a lot of drama that occurred during pre-production. The drama got so severe that it caused a lot of problems within my personal life. It caused me to get so stressed out that I got burnt out. I ended up not being as passionate about horror films anymore because of that. I still like horror films, but not as much anymore. I discovered a new passion for science. The drama with getting that movie made got me to have deeper appreciation for movies that aren’t good. Regardless if the movie sucks or not, they put hard work into it. The harsh reality about making movies is that you have to rely on other people and people are not always going to be reliable. Even if you pay them money, they aren’t always going to be reliable.
@@VierthalerStudios That’s true sir but all these other directors are out there making movies happen no matter how difficult it gets. So persistence seems to be the key.
@@southlondon86 they’re just lucky, I guess. I did get a movie made, finally. But a no budget movie with just my girlfriend and I making it. Didn’t have to rely on as many people which is why that one got made and the other attempts did not get made.
🙏🙏🙏
3:50 so he's talking about Auteur theory, right ?
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿👑👑👑
How old is this ?
Anyone interested in collaborating on low budget horror films in the vein of Romero, Carpenter, Craven, Hooper, and Cronenberg please private message me. We have the technology! Where are the great modern horror films and filmmakers?! We need a revolution!
I would say there are 2 true horror directors- John Carpenter and Dario Argento.
I gotta disagree with carpenters opinion of Ford. Ford was one of the greatest film makers of all time!
John Ford Was Known For His Selfish Personality On Set of His Films!
@@vinceniederman I’m not talking about the man’s personality lmao I didn’t know him and you never knew him either. I’m talking about his films obviously. His films have nothing to do with anyones opinion of him as a man.
@@GunSperg The One Thing About John Ford Was That At Times He Ripped Up Some Scripts Which Was Odd and It’s Crazy That John Carpenter Looked Up to Him and I’ve Looked Up John Ford on Wikipedia!
This is only part one, Alex. There are more. Go to mickgarrisinterviews.com.
1:10 - oh god... please don't say Roger Corman. Don't say it was him.
Oh my fucking god, he actually said him!
john's got dead black eyes, i'd like to see how he looks with the myers mask on.
Too bad he fell out of love of filming after Ghosts of Mars before he came back to direct one last motion picture The Ward.
J W He did an amazing job and had a great time on his two MASTERS OF HORROR episodes!
it's too short... how frustrating :)
+Alex Baudrand there's three more parts!
I disagree with Mr. Carpenter's analysis of John Ford's later work. If anything, Ford's style and thematic depth improved over time. The Quiet Man is one of the greatest lyrical character studies ever made and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence is a masterwork as well. He should revisit those films again. Hope his analysis isn't colored by seemingly cranky anti-Irish comments (just kidding) ;)
