Do you know when the ghosts ruled China?Strange things are afoot in Antonio Bay…New HINDSIGHT episode just dropped: John Carpenter's THE FOG (1980) Word on the street is that a ship was allegedly lured by a ghostly fog onto the rocks of Antonio Bay, causing said ship to supposedly be enveloped by a supernatural cloud…which maybe caused that ship to sink. As a result, some sailors died. ALLEGEDLY. Now, local myth says that when this mysterious fog returns, the sailor victims will rise up from the depths seeking vengeance on Adrienne Barbeau and Jamie Lee Curtis.Watch now! Hosted on Acast.

Join Jim and John as they sink their teeth into (I did it, I made the dumb joke!) one of John Carpenter's less appreciated but still awesome flick, Vampires. The Western/Horror hybrid follows a band of vampire hunters sanctioned by the catholic church. The two hosts praise the 90's aesthetic and get into what's so satisfying about Carpenter's directing style. Towards the end of the chat the two discuss their excitement for It: Welcome to Derry. Sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy.
Here is an episode of Video Villa Entertainment that I was on where we talked about John Carpenter's Memoirs of an Invisible Man! https://youtu.be/3K3K7pQBKTM?si=o99yZwxfGRXHiRpU
It's Die Hard in a police station!This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK we're battening down the hatches with Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne as we discuss the 2005 remake of ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13!After a botched undercover drug bust results in the deaths of two of his fellow team members, traumatized Detroit cop Jake Roenick (Ethan Hawke) now works an unambitious desk job, where he oversees a quiet, remote precinct that's about to be decommissioned. However, when a busload of prisoners – including notorious gangster Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne) - are forced to take refuge at said precinct because of a brutal New Year's Eve snowstorm, Jake suddenly finds himself called back into action when mysterious masked gunmen assault the police station… After comparing and contrasting this film with John Carpenter's original 1976 classic (itself a loose remake of RIO BRAVO), the guys discuss the myriad DIE HARD (and DIE HARD 2) DNA on display in this pressure-cooker siege scenario, while musing on the possibility that the echoes of previous wars (Vietnam, the Iraq invasion) may be reverberating inside both versions of the story. They also discuss the idea of the “action-horror” subgenre in this surprisingly gory picture, as well as Ethan Hawke's post-TRAINING DAY action-hero run. Awards are handed out to the stellar ensemble cast in the DIE HARD OSCARS section, and as always the episode culminates with a cheeky edition of the DOUBLE JEOPARDY trivia quiz!TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isoX0zcyG-4At the time of release, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 is streaming on Starz and Philo in the US, and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms!

Roxy Striar & Tara Erickson react to the chilling conclusion to David Gordon Green's (Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills, The Exorcist: Believer) modern slasher horror trilogy based on John Carpenter's original 1978 classic. This finale brings the decades-long saga of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers to its shocking, emotional end — marking the final confrontation between horror's most iconic survivor and The Shape himself. Iconic moments include Corey's shocking opening babysitting sequence, Laurie's emotional face-offs with Michael, the Halloween party scene, and the brutal final kitchen battle that definitively ends a 40-year legacy. Combining psychological drama with classic slasher thrills, Halloween Ends explores grief, trauma, & the cyclical nature of evil in a hauntingly divisive finale that's still sparking debate among fans. With its eerie score by John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies, Halloween Ends closes out the Strode-Myers saga with equal parts tragedy, terror, and catharsis — bringing the story full circle for one last scream.

Happy Halloween!

Hosts Eddie and Spencer, and Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy will dissect Carpenter's final installment in his Apocalypse Trilogy, exploring how the film blurs the lines between fiction and reality, sanity and delusion. They'll dive into the Lovecraftian themes, the brilliant ambiguity of the plot, and the unsettling idea that the world is being rewritten around us. But there's a miracle to celebrate this Halloween: Spencer is officially cured of his inner Grinch! The crew discusses how Spencer has finally seen the light this month, embracing his newfound love for remarkable horror films and shaking off his aversion to the genre, proving that even the most skeptical viewers can be converted by a true cinematic masterwork. Join us for a terrifying, insightful, and celebratory finale to the spooky season! So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's special Halloween episode of The Filmlosophers!
Is the first week of November the slowest time of the movie year? It is if you are a genre fan. We do have a little bit of news. Osgood Perkins excites us while John Carpenter disappoints us. There is also an important change to your Halloween viewing schedule. Plus, a new horror streaming channel that seems to be catering to fans.Before the first episode premiered, Welcome to Derry had taken us on a wild ride. When we first heard about it, we were incredibly excited. There are so many excellent stories in the sourced material that would make for great television. And who knows what original ideas the writers could come up with?Then we saw the first trailer.We went into the show fearing the worst. Welcome to Derry may not have been as bad as we feared, but it definitely was not very good. From bad CGI to completely ignoring what the source material is about, we talk about our (many) gripes. Even the things that were done right had a ring or wrong around them.Hell House LLC was a straightforward found footage horror movie. It did not do anything revolutionary, but it was a good time. Its sequels have expanded on the lore in ways that were not needed. The latest installment puts on full display how the original movie was never intended to be a series.Hell House LLC: Lineage is not for newcomers. It is not for casual fans. It is not even for people who have seen all of the installments and enjoyed them. This movie is strictly for those who know the series in and out. You need to have an intimate working knowledge of these movies to get anything out of the latest one. But at least the change from first person to traditional narrative was a good idea. Right?

John Carpenter hat nicht nur ikonische Filme gemacht, er hat ganze Stile, Atmosphären, vielleicht sogar Genres erfunden. So verbittert, wie er heute selbst auf Hollywood blickt, so verzaubert blickt Hollywood auf ihn zurück. Gerade in seiner brachialen Klarheit ist Carpenter unheimlich einzigartig, er wird aber auch vor allem von denen verteidigt, die irgendwie mit ihm aufgewachsen sind, zu deren Filmsozialisation er als Fixpunkt gehört. Das ist bei Janick, Lucas und Christian nicht der Fall. Können Sie ihm trotzdem etwas abgewinnen? Darum geht's in Carpenter-Special, das ist aber nur der Teaser, wenn ihr uns auf Steady unterstützt, könnt ihr die ganze Folge hören.

Tonight on Weird Darkness, I'm sharing the complete audiobook novelization of John Carpenter's Halloween—a chilling adaptation that delves even deeper into the mind of pure evil than the film ever could.Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEIN THIS EPISODE: A rare and haunting treasure: the long-out-of-print novelization of John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic *Halloween*, written by Curtis Richards. True to the original film but filled with deeper, darker layers, this book explores a chilling supernatural origin for Michael Myers, weaving ancient Druid lore and the eerie roots of Halloween itself into the fabric of his story. With scenes even more provocative than the film, I'll be sharing a carefully edited version that captures the terror and suspense of this horror gem—without pushing the limits of decency.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:03:21.002 = Prologue00:14:05.543 = Chapter 0100:24:48.233 = Chapter 02 00:36:39.672 = Chapter 0300:45:47.801 = Chapter 0401:06:41.945 = Chapter 0501:19:34.249 = Chapter 0601:34:50.315 = Chapter 0701:41:32.696 = Chapter 0802:16:07.060 = Chapter 0902:21:37.512 = Chapter 1002:52:46.384 = Chapter 1103:10:50.006 = Chapter 1203:29:41.283 = Chapter 1303:54:23.049 = Chapter 1404:16:07.250 = Chapter 1504:44:38.926 = Show CloseSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…BOOK: “Halloween” the movie novelization by Curtis Richards: https://amzn.to/3NM2TCR, https://amzn.to/3UTkP2DMUSIC: “The Shape” by White Bat Audio: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/WhiteBatAudioWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Boy meets car. Boy loves car. Car loves boy. Car turns homicidal. Yes, 1983's horror movie, "Christine" asked audiences to buckle up and suspend disbelief. Audiences and critics were mixed back then, but the film went on to become a cult classic. But now, over four decades later, does this flick violate more than the Lemon Law? Can a 1958 Plymouth be scary? Can evil cure vision challenges? And why are Arnie (Keith Gordon) and Dennis (John Stockwell) even friends to begin with? The Old Roommates fill 'er up and give this Stephen King's adaptation a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Embrace the new car scent and join them.Old Roommates can be reached via email at oldroommatespod@gmail.com.
