POST MORTEM: John Carpenter - Part 3

Continuing his chat with Mick Garris, John Carpenter talks about his films THE FOG, HALLOWEEN 2, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, THEY LIVE and BODY BAGS, make-up artist Rob Bottin, his working methods, ambiguous endings, the difference between shock and suspense, his reputation as a horror specialist, the appeal of scary movies, and his work on the MASTER OF HORROR television series.

I love that he wore black on a black set and in some shots its just a floating head talking pure cinema

[@MickGarrisInterviews]

He's a great interview subject, isn't he? You don't get any bullshit from John!

[@007beck9]

You have to admit it though when Halloween 2 came up and he found out he had to share top billing with Dino De Laurentis he hated that. When he said I hated the concept of Halloween 2 you can tell he was making that up he felt that Halloween 2 wasn't is movie like the first one was because he wasn't the name in top billing on the film Dino De Laurentis was and he hated the fact that they had to Both share it.

Fantastic interview. Thanks for doing these.

[@jameswilliams-zr8co]

mick garris is awesome too !

[@pattaylor4414]

John's such an intelligent, funny guy. Love him!

[@Layne618]

I like Halloween II. I think it's a really good sequel and, in fact, I like it just as much as the original. I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate that, but...

[@DS8379]

Always love the end of John Carpenter’s films. It leaves it open for your mind to make up a whole other movie in your head.

[@gabrielr.johnsoniii2067]

They Live gave me that exact same way. I can only imagine what the world became after the destruction of the satellite that breaks the signal of what the world truly is!

[@Njbear7453]

The ending of escape from New York!

[@ponrix]

The Fog is really good. The widescreen format he used to shoot it made it look beautiful.

[@Chew.bubblegumandkickass]

I wish Masters of Horror would've came back with a new season

[@aquarius9491]

J.C is the only guy in Hollywood I'd ever work for, Period !!

[@live_free_or_die7260]

I respect is honesty with his politics.

[@MickGarrisInterviews]

No one ever accused John of not speaking his mind.

[@tedbailey3673]

Is he becoming Lee Van Cleef?

[@CornishCreamtea07]

He's just missing the eyes.

[@bumblefritz]

Now he's becoming Fu Manchu.

[@johngrayatkinson1214]

Sorry one more thing. Mick. Your humilty ( shown obviously when John brings up M.O H. ) and love of movie making is admirable and in this day and age ...refreshing. love brotha

[@mickgarris2555]

Aw, shucks.

[@daltonmoen1404]

It's just interesting hearing him talk about his movies. He is a master at what he does, great filmmaking and great music.

[@daltonmoen1404]

It's a horror masterpiece

[@daltonmoen1404]

I honestly can't tell you. I've seen it so many times. Most of the horror movies I love now, I saw very young. Horror movies don't scare me

[@johngrayatkinson1214]

What Carpenter says about Bottin (sp? Sorry) being a fan. Thats the key to everything. You gotta love it baby!

[@MattyStevensonBishop]

That segment in Body Bags with the hair.. "You don't LIKE hair!?"

[@daviddraiman9424]

I love ambiguity. I hate kids these days who think every horror movie looks a certain way and ends a certain way. Granted I'm only 21 year old but still John is a master and the ending to The Thing is marvelous.

[@StradaleF430]

Big Trouble in Little China at 4:33

[@DS8379]

Cigarette Burns was so good! As good as any of his 80s stuff!

[@DeathBringer769]

7:21 Too true.

[@matthewprater9300]

Halloween2 was the greatest one. Samhain 666

[@scottmanginelli609]

He's hilarious to interview. Just like I don't care, it was long ago, who cares Haha, he's great

[@theL4Y3R]

would love to see David F sandberg be interviewed. he got famous off of a youtube horror short lights out

[@octoman511]

Can you interview Rob Bottin? Haven't heard from him in a while.

[@MickGarrisInterviews]

We'll see what happens when we schedule some new interviews. Keep watching!

[@joeyvalenz2899]

Mick Garris Interviews I would love to see Rob bottin

[@skar8009]

They obligated him to do a Halloween sequel because they saw a lot of money on Myers but he didn't want to continue his story and rightfully so. It's because of these people that the franchise got stupid twists like Laurie being a Myers and ultimately that Busta Rhymes kicked the crap out of Michael Myers.

[@ryanjacobson2508]

He did the sequel under duress because the studio was threatening to make the movie without him.

[@leonardotavaresdardenne9955]

Was this shot in 2014?

[@mickgarris2555]

2010

[@AleksandarBloom]

Mick Garris is very scary !

[@lisamacdougall8977]
