ECR #002: Spotlight On John Carpenter

My favorite John Carpenter score is for “Halloween III: Season Of The Witch”, which he didn’t actually direct himself. I’ve posted the full soundtrack album for the film on the other blog I do stuff for, Cinefile Video (my workplace). On that blog, I primarily do soundtrack posts, but I also do a dab of film journalism as well. Check out the full rundown of my Cinefile posts here.

    My favorite soundtrack of ALL TIME is John Carpenter’s “Prince of Darkness.” It bears the most potent atmosphere of any of his works. I think so, anyway.

  3. Thanks! Actually, one of my favorite soundtracks in a Carpenter film is the one for The Thing. It’s actually by Ennio Morricone, but it sounds like Morricone imitating Carpenter. Weird.

    Inspired effort. I’m sure you could’ve gone even further if you so desired. The one thing I’ve come to recognize about Carpenter is his keen sense for extracting the highest quality of ambience and electronics in order to create the finest forms of anticipation. Any homage to the man is worthwhile–this particular mix is a perfect soundtrack for those 3 or 4 a.m. car rides on barren streets and avenues where the only people out and about are likely lurking in a way worthy of the music accompanying the scene you survey. Somehow, I believe Carpenter would approve…

    Brilliant.
