Why wasn't John carpenter given the keys to the kingdom like alfred Hitchcock? I don't understand how anyone can see escape from new York and the Thing and not realise he's a genius. Unbelievable

The only director to scare the ever living crap out of me, as a kid - and fascinate me as an adult.

I think it's interesting he says he hates writing. I always felt the films he wrote were his strongest work, or at least his most memorable.

I believe my first intro to John Carpenter was Big Trouble in Little China, I believe I was 9 or 10. It was in my opinion a perfect movie, u had a buddy adventure with Supernatural Martial arts action, a green eyed princess needing rescuing. Like the quest adventures of old, told in modern day

Thing I like about Carpenter is just how normal he sounds. Not "Director-y" at all. True genius.

He casually mentions that one of his first films was made with Dan O Bannon. Dan created the Alien series! He also worked on Total Recall and Heavy Metal. Man…Carpenter is a legend and like Kurosawa and a few other legends they rubbed shoulders with other big figures in the industry. What escapes me is why and HOW can someone with Carpenters talent ends up not as rich as many of the actors that he worked with? My guess is that he was bad with people &/or had poor business sensibilities….

I don't know about that. The Thing is probably his best movie in terms of script. But most of his films built upon incredible ideas, but fall flat here and there because of "I don't care about this part" writing. The introductions of his stories are always brilliant, as well as the endings, while there are some rather weak parts. Hobb's End is the weakest parts of "In the Mouth of Madness", etc. Still Carpenter is probably the best horror/sci-fi director out there, a real auteur and the basic concepts of his stories are always amazing.
