Rock in Retrospect

John Carpenter

Nick Bambach Season 2 Episode 39

There's no better way to celebrate Halloween than to devote an entire episode to the filmmaker who helmed the iconic 1978 movie of the same name! Horror movie expert and Tik Tok influencer Peter Waters joins us to talk about John Carpenter's maverick career and the musical pieces he composed. We talk about Carpenter's musical background, the movies that inspired him, our favorite films from his canon, the Lost Themes trilogy and other musical projects in the last decade.  We conclude with our thoughts on the recent film Halloween Ends (2022) which Carpenter co-composed!
