For the John Carpenter fans out there

Yes, The Invisible Man... honestly, I completely blanked on that one too... still a solid movie though...

John Carpenter is basically the godfather of the horror renaissance. You’ve gotta respect the man—the guy gave us Dark Star, Police Station, The Creature, Fog, and Halloween. Back in the eighties, catching those in theaters just hit different. What kind of vibe am I talking about? Honestly, you kids wouldn't get it—you can only hope you stumble upon a time machine one day, haha.
And don't even get me started on how he absolutely nails the electronic scores for his flicks.

The Police Station, Christina, Fog, and Creature are my absolute favorites... probably just because they shaped my childhood, though They Live, Escape from L.A., New York City, and Dark Prince are also top-tier for me....

I can't remember if anyone brought up In The Mouth of Madness with Neil yet, but man, that movie is a legit horror masterpiece... 👍

😲 IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS is freaking insane and totally unmatched—honestly one of the best horror flicks ever made! 👍

I suppose you could put it that way...🙏 🙏though Halloween has always been number one for me, probably because it was the first Carpenter flick I saw and it caused me countless sleepless nights...
If only I could find my copy of Dark Star... I know I have the VHS somewhere... who's going to find it...😳

I’m not sure if this has been brought up in other threads, but Carpenter is filming a new project...
I caught a report on ABC last night—it looked to be about 147 pages long—stating he’s going to start by shooting two episodes for the "Masters of Horror" series before moving on to an omnibus titled "Southern Gothic" about a former priest battling supernatural forces...
Ugh, finally. The only lingering question is whether he can actually bounce back after those disastrous "duh Mars" movies, but regardless, it's Carpenter, so you can't afford to miss it...🙏🙏🙏
