John Carpenter is the film maker’s filmmaker. The guy who writes the script, directs the movie and then writes the musical score for it. And did most of his work back in the days before computers and CGI, making every bit of any of that process harder. We NEED more filmmakers like John Carpenter today now more than ever. An absolute legend.

When I was at USC, he came to my class. A student asked him "how do I become a director?" He said: "Go out there and do it. Why are you sitting around talking to me?" What a talent. Yet more than a few people are talented. Some of his greatness comes from that just do it attitude.

" Why are you sitting around talking to me?" because if you make your own successful movies you'll end up hanging from a doorknob, unless you pay 10x more than your movies budget to the hwood criminals like weinstein to leave you alone

I was so thrilled that night, and 40 years later your work still excites and entertains. Thank you sir, for making such a delightful contribution to my life.

My first VHS video rental came courtesy of my dear Maiden Great Aunt Maidie who in 1982 spent the considerable sum of £4.99 from her short pension on this for the weekend whilst my pig-ignorant mother was away whoring her worthless self. We enjoyed it greatly despite my Aunt's gentility because she who spent time fighting Hitler and Togo knew where the World was going thereafter. She had no love for the Yanks who spent their time undoing the Empire that she spent her youth battling for, and she hoped that some Churchillian hero would come again to save the world from itself. I am pleased that she enjoyed this and such other revenge themes in her time.

Saw John Carpenter at San Diego con one year. A question was asked about his music. He replied I don’t know why you all like it, it’s just basically 2 keys. Guy is super humble and has created some of the most iconic music of the 80’s and 90’s.

Can you imagine being Cody? Making badass music with your dad.

This man was ahead of his time the only other composer that can pull so much emotion out of a couple notes is Hans Zimmer. But Hans didn't direct some of my favorite movies from my childhood. JC is the deal.

I would literally kill to work on music with John Carpenter... This was the song that got me hooked on synths, back in the early 1980s when I was somewhere around maybe twelve or thirteen years old. My parents had bought "Escape from New York" for the old RCA Selectavision CED player, and I heard the title song playing late one night when I was supposed to be in bed sleeping... I had next to no interest in the movie itself back then, (that came a few years later when I was older), but the song totally blew me away. The next day after school I started trying to work out how it went, first with our piano, and then later on with my first synth, a cheap Yamaha "home" keyboard. I never gave up until I could duplicate every note perfectly, years and years later, with my Ensoniq Mirage, Ensoniq EPS-16, and Yamaha DX-7. Decades later it's still one of the first songs I'll always work up whenever I buy a new synth, just for the fun...
