It’s hard to imagine that a director as beloved and creative as John Carpenter would ever put a toe out of line with audiences. He proved himself a master of horror with the equally terrifying and iconic Halloween in 1978, as well as the supernatural and suspenseful The Fog in 1980. He often assembles incredibly talented casts, pairing big movie stars with relative unknowns to create dynamic chemistry that enhances his films and keeps audiences engaged from start to finish.
