Am I the only one that thinks Donald Pleasence isn't all that much as an actor?
For example he's wooden as hell in Escape from New York imo.

When I was in Film School, I made a short-movie called DARK WORLD, and it got me kicked out of the school for being offensive and controversial

Do any copies of this forbidden film survive?

(un)fortunately no. Lost it in a house fire a couple decades ago.
Have you seen Carpenter's first entry in the Masters of Horror series? Cigarette Burns? That deals with forbidden films as well. It's pretty good.

I haven't. I'll check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

Carpenter’s filmography from Assault on Precinct 13 to Prince of Darkness is near flawless. How he always seemed to have a fight on his hands with every flick is a mystery.
Even his “bad” films during that time are still very watchable.
After the underrated In the Mouth of Madness it was all downhill.

Coolest intro music ever.

They almost could have actually put some of this in the finished film.
Christine is now an uber.
The Fury was a sub-series, but there's this sweet 1958 Plymouth Belvedere for sale for U.S $79,900.

Of course you'd have to import it and change the colour scheme if you wanted Christine.

Just watched this again recently, as I saw a 'They Live' boardgame up on Kickstarter. This movie could not be anymore a perfect 1980's time capsule if it tried. There are movies set during a time and then there are one's that ARE the time. This is 1980's from start to end. That hair, those clothes, the tough talking African-American sidekick whose got a heart of gold once you know him, those shoulders on the 'love(/ she tried to kill me) interest'. I feel I'm going to have to download a few more John Carpenter movies I haven't seen in years and re-watch.

Watching Halloween for the first time in years putting it in 'ok' is doing it a disservice, groundbreaking film with brilliant directing.

Surprised how highly they rated Starman.
I don't disagree as Starman is great but just didn't expect that from them.

Not to mention Rowdy Roddy Piper!!
I love plenty of Carpenter movies, The Thing, Big Trouble, They Live all great. But I saw someone mentioned Ghosts of Mars was that actuakky one of his? Because that is hands down the worst movie I have ever seen. I haven't seen it since the VHS/DVD release but I remember everything about it being horrible, the screenplay, the acting, the special effects everything about it was terrible. Big Daddy Mars what the ****

Carpenter had a few swings in the 90s but all of them missed. Was all downhill, and steep, after they live, unfortunately.
Apart from that vampire movie with Bon Jovi.

I liked In the Mouth of Madness but it was nowhere near his best.

I have heard him say that although he loves The Thing he does speculate that as his first major studio picture whether his overall career might have been different if it had been a box office success instead of a failure.
