John Carpenter talks about "Halloween"

Back


This is an excerpt from "Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film" from Starz Entertainment.

John Carpenter talks about how he made "Halloween" for $300,000 and it ended up grossing $50-million.

If you have any interest in screenwriting or directing horror, I would highly suggest you find this documentary. Excellent interviews with Wes Craven, Sean Cunningham, and other horror directors.

Hell yeah ! i think no one can beat The fourths Slashers legends: Michael Myers, Jason Vorhees, Leatherface and Freddy Krueger. They are the best, and it's not a little dolly like Chucky or somes fags like "ghostface" (scream), "Pinhead" (hellraiser) or "Candyman" who can compete with them. They are the ELITE, The best killers of all movies man ! They pwn everything and everywhere. A lot of people will not agree with me but i don't cares. Slasher-fans know that i'm right!

It would have been pretty good if Rob and John directed the remake. That would be awesome. Rob didn't ruin the original or the remake, he just removed some of the elements of the classic horror films. But which gory horror films DON'T these days?

Yeah, only Halloween and Halloween II are the good, everything else is just crap, and should have never become a franchise.

Halloween Part 4 and 6 was also great. Especially the uncut version of part 6.
