There is a reason the term "Carpenteresque" exists.
“Master of Horror” is a title bestowed only to most the esteemed and skilled in the art of tapping into an audience’s deepest fears, such as Stephen King, George A. Romero, or Wes Craven. John Carpenter immediately earned that same distinction with the release of Halloween - which (like many of his films) he co-wrote, co-produced, directed, and composed the music for - in 1978.
Of course, if horror movies are not your cup of tea, not all John Carpenter movies are scary, but all of them are undeniably thrilling. You may also notice that many of the following films have been remade. Let's start with one of the filmmaker’s first action-packed cult classics.
