My last post was about being post Halloween and I was considering using John Carpenter's "Halloween" theme as an accompanying video. John Carpenter is unusual in that he makes films and also does the soundtracks. His compositions are minimalist but stick in your mind often using repetitive notes an motifs that carve themselves into you psyche.
I'm not sure what his first film was but I remember seeing "Assault on Precinct 13" and being maightily impressed with it's unknown cast simple but frightening set up and one of the most unexpectedly shocking scenes I've seen in a film, and... of course ... the soundtrack. It's still stands up today despite it being a remake and resetting of "Fort Apache".
John Carpenter recently played at the Tyne Theatre in Newcastle and it's not many directors could even think about doing that.
He is responsible for some of my favourite films and all are marked my him, often working with Kurt Russell such as in the remake of "The Thing" and in "Scape for New York" and "Escape From LA".
So it's Friday , enjoy your day and weekend.
