@jpaskaruk@growers.social @synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net I think I've only ever see Escape from New York as far as Carpenter movies go. But it had this amazing practical wire-frame shot of New York.
In Ghosts of Mars as well you can see that this wasn't just "slop". Flying buzz saw blades are cutting off limbs and it actually looks really good. The model train vibrates a bit in an odd way sometimes but it doesn't look bad.

@compfu@mograph.social @synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net It's October, fix this. The Thing, Prince Of Darkness, They Live, The Fog, Christine. The original Halloween of course. All solid horror work. He's got a lot of other good-to-decent ones but those all must be seen.

@compfu@mograph.social @jpaskaruk@growers.social cinematic feasts/treats are kinda my private term for Carpenter's meta-style of films. Ridley Scott has his personal variant on it. George Miller. Cronenberg. George Romero
