John Carpenter

Among my 10 favorite directors, District 13, Halloween, The Fog, 1997 Escape from New York, The Thing, Christine, Big Trouble in Little China, Prince of Darkness, They Live—this combo of 9 masterpieces alone justifies my affection for this director whom I adore... And let's not forget In the Mouth of Madness! (I'll forgive you for the last two films, and honestly, they aren't that bad either) One phrase to define him? "Fuck Hollywood!"
