Happy Birthday To The Master John Carpenter!
A lot of the horror directors taking hold of the scene are up and coming or just newly established greats. And that's amazing to see. New blood flying the flag that is HORROR.
But to know that one of the legends is still here with us is incredibly comforting. And not only that, here and still kicking @$$.
He continues to stay active with the newly revived "Halloween" series. He composed the score for 2018's "Halloween" rebootquel and went on tour that year, celebrating his vast catalog of movie scores.
And this upcoming Halloween season, his music will again take center stage in the follow up film, "Halloween Kills," also bringing back the great Jamie Lee Curtis.
Oddly enough, I grew up on the films that had nothing to do with Michael Myers. "Big Trouble In Little China," "They Live," "Memoirs Of An Invisible Man." I loved all of the films that were fun and strange. And his music in such films as "Halloween 3: Season Of The Witch," was amazing despite it being a film trashed in its day.
But despite a legacy that has the Escape From films with Kurt Russell, "Starman," and the incredible "The Thing," he is largely remembered for the horror masterpiece, 1978's "Halloween" and it's accompanying score.
The man IS a legend, and someone who you can definitely look up to as an inspiration. I definitely want that kind of longevity and creative curiosity long into my later years.
So happy birthday Mr. Carpenter! Thank you for the inspiration, your wonderful art, and your legacy.

Intentional Parallels? ("Conclave" Movie Review)
"Conclave" is a mystery thriller based on the 2016 Robert Harris book of the same name. Starring Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci, and Isabella Rossellini, the film focuses on the most powerful group of the Catholic Church cardinals as they mourn their recently deceased pope and prepare to vote for a new one. As they continue to vote and debate the merits of the nominees, many twists and turns present bumps in the road. And that last twist...well, it's a doozy. Being a registered independent, this film firmly leans in the progressive side of things, though corruption seeps into all sides. It is a fight for those in the middle to choose which way the church will continue into the future. Whether it should go back to reading Latin and become so conservative that they choose not to accept other religions or liberal points of view, or whether to continue to go in a more progressive way and deal with the world as it changes. As I watched this film I couldn't help...
