Although the horror auteur is retired from filmmaking, he still enjoys watching great horror films.
John Carpenter is one of the few masters of horror that still enjoys the strange films that play with the tropes of the genre. The horror director doesn’t take himself or the world of cinema too seriously, often opting to talk and celebrate anything other than his one work.
The director-turned-full-time-composer is currently producing and composing the score for the upcoming Halloween Ends, which serves as the “cathartic” conclusion to the Halloween franchise.
In a recent interview with the New Yorker, Carpenter didn’t want to talk too much about his work, often talking about what video games he enjoyed playing, his love for the Warriors, and what new horror movies he enjoyed. When asked if there was any horror movie he thought was great, Carpenter picked the Swedish romantic horror film, Let the Right One In.
