John Carpenter

Show notes

As Halloween approaches, and we leave behind the 50th Anniversary of Spielberg’s two-note themed horror epic Jaws, we look at another director, one with many iconic horror films under his belt, and one who is not shy of using the two-note theme tune. A Director who has become synonymous with this time of year , but who has also taken us to outer planets as well. A director who is as well known for also creating the soundtracks to his films, as the films themselves. So get ready for Halloween, look out to that Dark Star and hope that, if that Thing comes to get you, you’ll be able to Escape from New York.

If you haven't guess already, in honour of Halloween, this week we take a deep dive into the career of John Carpenter.
