John Carpenter Calls Halloween Kills “The Quintessential Slasher Film” During Fantasia Q&A

by

John Carpenter

With the Fantasia Film Festival having bestowed legendary Halloween director John Carpenter the Lifetime Achievement Award for his still prolific output in cinema and music, former Fangoria Editor-in-Chief and Fantasia Co-Director of International Programming Tony Timpone hosted a live streamed Q&A with the director this past Saturday.

An hour-long masterclass, Carpenter touched on many of his films during the discussion, from 1978’s Halloween and 1981’s Escape from New York to 1980’s The Fog, as well as the upcoming 2021 feature Halloween Kills (which he executive produced), which he called, “so intense,” and “the quintessential slasher film.” Interesting anecdotes abound, with Carpenter reminiscing on the late great actor Donald Pleasence to his short-lived involvement with The Exorcist III, and a whole lot more.   

You can watch the entire Q&A below.
