Saw John Carpenter live a few years ago on Halloween night. It was awesome. He played the main themes from his films with clips from his films projected behind the band.

Someone once explained to me the "fear" of Halloween movies--Michael Myers skulks around being creepy and doesn't actually do anything you could call the police on him for, until he starts killing people and then there's no help. It's something resonated with a lot of people, especially women. It's the helplessness and dread of it that you know he's no good but you can't actually do anything to stop him short of killing him first but you don't know he's THAT bad yet.

It's a guy in a mask watching you from afar, getting ever more close. He doesn't speak, you don't know what he wants, but the moment you watch outside your window at night, he is there watching you. That's terrifying. That's real, too real sadly. Later iterations they made him an invincible spirit of vengeange, which is boring horror b-movie stuff.

I agree that it's one of Carpenter's better movies. There's a lot of good stuff in Prince of Darkness. But it's also...kinda problematic, especially in its later acts. The first half of the film promises a lot more than it ends up delivering. The premise really is fascinating. A potentially apocalyptic threat that requires science and religion working together to stop it. POD starts out as a legitimately cerebral horror / thriller. I just feel like it jumps the rails and settles into something more conventional and less interesting. The ending is great though.

Fun Fact: So John actually didn't use much of Morricone's score for The Thing. The classic "BUM BUM" was Carpenter's doing. Occasionally you can hear some of Morricone's score in the film, but overall he threw out much of it. Tarantino wanted Morricone to compose an original score for The Hateful Eight which is inspired by The Thing. Morricone had obligations for another film he agreed to work on so he told Tarantino he could only write 20-25 minutes of original score that Tarantino could maybe stretch into 40 minutes & then he suggested using the unused parts of The Thing score. So if you want to hear more of The Thing's score just watch The Hateful Eight.

Ghosts of Mars is probably on lists of worst movies of all time in general.

They're definitely right about Halloween suffering from the movies that came after it. My experience was much like Jay's-Halloween came out the year I was born, so I ended up not seeing it until like 19 years after its release. By that time, every other 80's/90's horror movie of my adolescence had ripped it off and amped it up much that it was predictable and hard to appreciate without approaching it from a film-making mindset. So while I do think Halloween is a classic masterpiece, it reminds me of a wonderful food item from a local restaurant that gets watered down and played out once the recipe gets acquired and used by a national franchise chain.

Once Rich reminded us that he isn’t a horror guy, I understand his low placement for The Fog and Halloween. And yes Loomis is a terrible psychiatrist lmao

Man, I love Prince of Darkness. Like you said, I can see why people dislike it, but I find it such an interesting movie. I love the slow burn, the atmosphere and the ideas he has in that movie. It's so interesting and different. The feeling of doom and the open ending, like in The Thing, are so awesome! It's one of the very few movies I'd actually love to see remade.

I saw Rich Evans at a grocery store in Milwaukee yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

31:58 Rich: You're all going to hate me. Me: Oh come on it can't be that bad Rich: My number 12 is Halloween. Me: Oh no.....

The build up.. Laurie and her friends just talk about mundane things.. There are some minor scares along the way, but it's daylight, so no problem. But it gets darker and darker...

I saw Prince Of Darkness as a kid multiple times on our local station's late late movie and it scared the hell out of me. Back in the early nineties, our low-def cable channel's picture quality made it look so raw and brutal, especially the "found footage" scenes. And every time I saw it, I missed the 1st few minutes and had no idea what the film was called as our TV guide would just label it "movie" and then the credits were cut off. I had no idea what film I'd seen despite seeing it at least 3 times before the age of 14 and it wasn't until I rented it as a college student years later (having no idea what I was renting outside of it being a Carpenter film) that I found out. I've loved it ever since, flaws and all and it gave me a great appreciation for Donald Pleasence.
