Assault on Precinct 13: Main Title - John Carpenter (Live)

[@fratercontenduntocculta8161]

One of the things i really enjoy about Carpenter's scores is how minimal they are, but evoke such strong feelings.

[@napalmglop1]

You say minimal, I would say pure....

[@billyjackoff]

He always wanted his scores to act more like "wallpaper" than anything. He's the anti-Hans Zimmer.

"In England, I'm a horror movie director. In Germany, I'm a filmmaker. In the US, I'm a bum."

[@stephencampbell2115]

And in my opinion he is a genius

[@MickeyKnox]

Never understood why he's not well respected in the states - he made some great films, absolute timeless classics that still hold up today.

Very rare example of Great director and Great composer at the same time. Double in one Talent- Awesome.

Local Library was having a used book, DVD CD sale. Found and purchased this DVD for one dollar. One of the best days of my life

[@sbenz17]

My hometown library had this on vhs in 2003 lol

[@theloneranger2101]

A true classic 70's film with a superb sound track. I love this film, John Carpenter inspired some of the best films ever made, not the crap we have today!

[@pointpoint10]

What are you talking about? There were lots of awful movies being made in the '70s and lots of great movies being made today. If you can't find good movies, that's your fault.

This movie is one of my top 5 favorites. Really underrated

Probably one of my most favorite John Carpenter movies and theme songs.

[@giannighilardi6396]

Masterpiece

[@phunkybis]

You damn right.

[@thorny3082]

i agree with than.Carpetners and Walter Hills movies was at that time the best-low budget and now movies :P

[@mrlondellsgroovymovies]

This has to be the coolest B-Movie theme song ever!!

[@bretluyet1896]

simple and erie always loved this score just watched the movie just recently again a classic

[@vinnyrose3672]

I still get chills when I hear this, I remember the first time I saw this on Turner classic movies uncensored 10 years ago

[@jasondorman3739]

John Carpenter is amazing in both his musical scores and the majority of his movies. He and Kurt Russell need to collaborate again before it's too late.

[@georgetaylor4719]

It's too late...🥺

[@leannew6172]

Sound track to the modern world

[@nickadams2451]

It was as if John had predicted the future nearly 45 years ago. You look as these films and John had stated how he accomplished the gritty look. Escape was shot in what was left of East St. Louis after rioting had left the city just burned out shells of buildings.

One of my favourite pieces by John Carpenter, simple but effective.

[@lamarjohnson4985]

One of my favorite scores of all time. Fut the movie and the times perfectly. John Carpenter rocks! 💪🏽

Astonishing movie and OST, JC is a cinematic god.

[@zombiehaiku7527]

Saw him in the UK on is 2018 tour. Spectacular!

One word: Fucking Iconic!

[@nowaytowalmart67]

I was there. Brought tears to my eyes

[@Thunderchief-rt3gt]

I went to see him perform at The Myth last November, on his "Anthology" tour. Great show! He was on stage having a ball, playing all of his old classics and a few new cuts. He's not just the Master of Horror, he's also the Maestro of Horror!

[@IsabellaCatherine19XX]

The Dance with the Dead cover of this tune is unreal, this is pretty good to.

[@nigel8499]

Haunting but beautiful in equal amounts. Great job gentlemen.

[@RoadWarrior-lo9vt]

Forever a fan of John Carpenter. Ever since "The Thing". Basically, ever since the early 80's. Anything he's done, anything he's been a part of. I loved Precinct 13, I just didn't know John Carpenter back then. Thanks John! 😎👍

[@vukans595]

True masterpiece, i used to listen it for hours!

[@britneyhochman5204]

Watching old Carpenter on his little keyboard is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen!

[@BebeLush2]

Damn, he does live shows?? Amazing!

[@AdaptiveRider]

I'd love to see him perform and try to meet him. I'm hoping hes still alive in 2021...

[@mickydola6472]

Belter tune belter film! Legend never gonna be another like him!👊🏻

[@doctorsocrates4413]

Thanks john.

[@constableconstable2563]

What I like about Carpenter's themes is how they perfectly foreshadow the villain. - Christine's theme describes her subtle influence and when she fully takes control. - The Thing's theme describes it's mysterious origin and evil nature. - Halloween's theme describes how Michael Myers slowly closes in on his target and then strikes. - They Live's theme describes walking among what is not seen and the alien's hidden propaganda.

[@scooby1992]

Same as his theme from The Fog

[@FunkyGOB]

I see your point. Escape from New York’s theme foreshadows a Snake Plissken ass kicking

[@rottimusprime9560]

That was sssssooooo badass 😊. I'm sure I'll be watching this randomly for the next several year's 🤣🤣🤣.

[@bryonwatkins1432]

Great fucking movie 🍿🎥!!!! Watched it a few times!!!!

[@Arfabiscuit]

A critic once asked JC what do you want people to think when they see one of your films . JC replied nothing i want them to feel .

Love John's Music and movies, there's nothing like it anymore, Love halloween and halloween 3 scores to, Legend.

As I’ve just posted elsewhere the band Tears for Fears owe John a huge thank you for inspiring their first hit song Mad World with this theme tune. If you can’t hear it I’m sorry but you have no idea about music.

So bummed I missed his show when they came to Seattle.

[@nerolux2445]

Always liked the way Street Thunder used the cars as rolling barricades to close in on the police station while maintaining defensive cover.
