This week we take a walk on the dark side as we explore the scares and scores of director and composer John Carpenter. We explore how he popularised the slasher genre, tackled aliens from other worlds, told tales of seabound lepers and possessed cars, and even did a biopic of the King himself. On top of this, we examine some of his musical themes that would become as iconic as anything by Williams, Morricone or Hermann.
