The filmmaker opens up about developing the true-life horror stories.
In his decades-long career, John Carpenter has worn many hats as a filmmaker, from director to writer to composer, though with his upcoming series John Carpenter's Suburban Screams, he's venturing into an all-new arena.
John Carpenter: B is the answer to that. Everything you said. I'm sick of it. Let's get to basketball. Because of my training at USC, I cannot interfere with other directors. I just can't do it. It's forbidden. It's all their stuff. That's their movie. They need to step up and take responsibility for everything, and I just keep my mouth shut.
In that regard, I know one of the big things that you've mentioned when people ask you about directing another movie is just how much work is involved and how that's not at all of interest to you, to put in all that work and time and energy.
All right, here's what I'll say to you: the supernatural exists in movies, TV, books, in the media, and that's where it exists. I don't believe it exists in real life. Now, I'm open to seeing it. You have a ghost that I can take a look at and study for a minute? I'm open to it. You have a UFO that flies by, stops a minute, lets me look at it? I'm open to that. But otherwise, I don't ... Where is all this stuff? It doesn't exist around me.
I'm a little more ... When I was younger, I would see everything to learn from it. Every single thing: bad, good, doesn't matter to me. I'm a little pickier now, quite a bit pickier, something I'm interested in ... But I've become addicted to video games and basketball. It's just so much fun, and it takes me away from the horrors of the real world. So, why not?
I don't know. I think, maybe ... Big Trouble in Little China, it seems to me would be a fun video game and kick ass. There's also, by the way, a Thing card game. I mean, there's a lot of these games. There's actually a They Live game. I don't know that there would ever be a Prince of Darkness game. I don't see that.
I don't know. I can't help them. I can't help the new filmmakers. Plus, they have so many advantages over what I had when I was the same age. That makes me hate them! It's all great. That's great. I'm super excited for Lost Themes. I love what you and Cody and Daniel have been doing with that. They're fantastic.Have you seen The Last of Us? I know you're a big fan of the game, have you watched the TV show?So are you looking forward to Season 2? I know there's going to be some changes from the source material.It's on pause because of the strikes.
