One of the coolest moments in my life may be attending John Carpenter‘s Walk of Fame induction last year. The filmmaker behind movies like Halloween, The Thing and The Fog, his influence on myself and horror fans everywhere is as deep as the eyes of Michael Myers. He has inspired countless filmmakers and guided countless others into the realm of horror. And this July, Mr. Carpenter will curate a two-night horror movie marathon for TCM announced the channel, celebrating some of the movies that influenced him.
The marathon has been dubbed The Carpenter Zone and will feature The Quatermass Xperiment, Them!, It! The Terror from Beyond Space, The Curse of Frankenstein, The Mummy, and Curse of the Demon. All bangers, honestly.
Personally, I’m thrilled to see The Quatermass Xperiment on there, as Quatermass inspired the highly underrated but excellent Carpenter movie, Prince of Darkness.
Carpenter’s two-night event is just part of TCM’s all-month celebration of 250 years of the U.S. and the filmmakers who pioneered the industry. Included in the lineup will be celebrations of directors such as Ed Wood, George A. Romero, John Waters, David Lynch and many more.
