I loved reading that the original movie,<em>The Fog</em> was to him sort of a disaster at the time, and he had to "save" it. Even what he considers to be his <em>not so greats</em> are gold.

I love nearly all of his films, with the exception of a few. My favorite horror film by him would be, of course, Halloween; Followed closely by The Thing. I also love Body Bags, (which was a anthology film in the same vein as George Romero & Stephen King's Creepshow.) As for his non-horror stuff, I love Escape from New York and Big Trouble In Little China. Both of which are also influential in their own way. The list of Directors that were/are inspired by Carpenter is a who's who of filmmakers; Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino are two of the most noteable. Great topic!
