Carving a Niche

As part of my October Horror Movie Madness, I am going to explore the films of John Carpenter.  I will start at the beginning with Carpenter’s Student Film and work my way up.

Noticeably absent will be Halloween, as I covered the entire Franchise last year.  Also, I am leaving the TV movie Elvis aside for another time.  Although, at the same time, though not horror films, I will be covering Assault on Precinct 13 and Memoirs of an Invisible Man.   I have long admired Carpenter’s work.  Not just as a  director, but also as a writer and songwriter.  He has recently released two fabulous albums of music called Lost Themes and Lost Themes II.

Carpenter has written and directed more than one classic film, and I look forward to exploring his work in the days to come.
