The Films of John Carpenter
The Films of John Carpenter | John Kenneth Muir
4 posts | 1 to read
The films of John Carpenter cover a tremendous range and yet all bear his clear personal stamp. From the horrifying (Halloween) to the touching (Starman) to the controversial (The Thing) to the comic (Big Trouble in Little China), his films reflect a unique approach to filmmaking and singular views of humanity and American culture. This analysis of Carpenters films includes a historical overview of his career, and in-depth entries on each of his films, from 1975s Dark Star to 1998s Vampires. Complete cast and production information is provided for each. The book also covers those films written and produced by Carpenter, such as Halloween II and Black Moon Rising, as well as Carpenters work for television. Appendices are included on films Carpenter was offered but turned down, the slasher films that followed in the wake of the highly-successful Halloween, the actors and characters who make repeated appearances in Carpenters films, and ratings for Carpenters work. Notes, bibliography, and index are included.

Watching one of my all time favorite horror movies. Fun fact: My older sister is still terrified of this movie despite being in her 40s. And yes, being the wonderfully cruel younger sister that I am, I enjoy referencing it every chance I get around her. #TeamStoker #scarathlon +4 pts

I don‘t remember what podcast it was but they were talking about how movies and novels were all one idea stretched out. For example they said Jurassic Park is a tale of how a man learns that he does love children. Tonight I watched this movie and it boiled down to young woman has violence beset upon her by man and it affects the rest of her life. And as she lives her life people tell her to move on, get over it, and it kinda struck a nerve. 👇🏼

Reggie The movie itself wasn‘t the best ever but I still enjoyed it and all its winks to the first movie. 6y
