- John Howard Carpenter (born January 16, 1948) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, editor and composer. Although Carpenter has worked in numerous film genres, he is most commonly associated with horror and science fiction films from the 1970s and 1980s.
Most films in Carpenter's career were critical and commercial failures, with the notable exceptions of Halloween (1978), Escape from New York (1981) and Starman (1984). However, many of Carpenter's films from the 1970s and the 1980s such as Dark Star (1974), Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), The Fog (1980), The Thing (1982), Christine (1983), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), Prince of Darkness (1987) and They Live (1988) have since been seen as cult classics, and Carpenter has been acknowledged as an influential filmmaker.

My favourite Director.Pure talent.
At last -- an intelligent, clued-up interviewer! Carpenter actually seems to enjoy the process, and we get a glimpse into the mindset of a truly brilliant film director. Mission accomplished.
William R I noticed he was enjoying the interview as well. You can tell when he’s annoyed in interviews. When he’s tired of the same questions from people who really don’t know his history. It’s fun to watch him answering questions he respects.
This man is a legend!! Not too many filmmakers have half the ability and talent of this guy.
David Imrie Plus, he's just a dude. So down to Earth. You know?
Amdy, yes, he is so down to earth and very, very humble. I am a true fan of this man ever since Halloween
+David Imrie Agreed... and it's easy to forget, with all the copycat and rip offs and remakes of what he did with Halloween, that he was just winging that mutha, defining a genre... supremely creative.... and yeah, I agree with the other posters, just an all round down to earth bonafide genius. John Carpenter and Wes Craven. I hold them both in equally high esteem. R.I.P. Wes...
+arupian666 I like that. He was winging that mutha. But he created a classic film and the man definitely has a firm grasp on the genre.
Dont forget The Prince of Darkness. A very under rated film.
Prince of Darkness is my favourite Carpenter movie. Not his best but my favourite. I saw it when I was 11 and it scared the s**t outta me. Loved it
@@baraka99 Definitely has it's flaws but it has great ideas and overall I enjoyed it a lot as well.
I'd say Assault on precinct 13 is my favorite.
the thing is a masterpiece
Insightful interview, I've always loved John Carpenter's NO Bullshti attitude.
His mind is always on the move, too. He's one of those rare birds who can entertain with great story. Every campfire needs a John Carpenter.
My all time favorite director. The feel, the atmosphere of his films is unmatched. Halloween, Assault On Precinct 13, The Fog, The Thing, They Live, Big Trouble In Little China, EFNY/LA, Into The Mouth Of Madness, Vampires, Christine etc .......what a resume ! his films are very addictive.
I also noticed he has a ton of "UFO" books in the background. Can't say I'm extremely surprised lol
Zombie Squad would have loved a ufo movie by him.. like war of the worlds or something but The Thing and They Live were great
I grew up watching John Carpenter's movies on Home Video. His films mean so much to me, especially Escape From New York and The Thing, Big Trouble In Little China and They Live. His music is amazing too, such a great composer and Master of the synthesizer. Great interview! 👌📽
It's interesting to see John's reading material. Carl Sagan! Now I have something to talk about if I ever bump into him other than..."Uhhh....I loved Halloween."
A triple threat talent that you may never see again.
Writer, director and composer.
Thanks for so many great memories during my teen years, John. Always appreciated your knowledge of and ability in film-making.
How ? How can someone be a syfy fan and say the thing is not a masterpiece ??? Thx John
Great interview with a great director. Thank you for posting.
Great interview with a great American Auteur, I love listening to carpenters reminisces and comments...
Thank You for all of the great flicks, Mr. Carpenter!
Awesome interview!
John Carpenter is my favorite director,coincidentally my daughter's birthday is January 16 2000.And she loves Michael Myers as much as I do.
This guy directs and writes the movies and does the music for some of his films, the only thing he doesn't do is the catering
Anybody know if the Dan O'Bannon he's talking about is the guy who wrote Return of the Living Dead?
The very same.
I love Dark Star.✌️👌😅😂😂🤣🎬🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
A genius who stopped making good movies...Bad for us!
some interesting books on thebookshelf, UFOs etc. im assuming its carpenters place?
Yes the Interview was at his home.
cheers!
16:07 Fucking hilarious :D
Does anyone happen to know the original source of this interview?
Good director, lousy judge of politics and government.
no, he knows...he is one "of them", installed as a predictive programmer by his wife (he related to her during the shooting of They Live), a hardcore Great Reset , climate change , Agenda 201 , NWO etc propaganda fetishist. Her comic books are filled with an unbelievable amount of illuminati symbolism , and NWO propaganda . I wonder why nobody noticed this
