John Carpenter
John Carpenter, the master of horror, performs his iconic scores at Knockdown Center.
Few directors in cinematic history take their films’ music into their own hands quite like John Carpenter. Across the ’70s and ’80s, his synth-heavy soundtracks, written and performed by him, for “Halloween,” “Assault on Precinct 13,” “The Thing,” “Prince of Darkness,” “Escape from LA” and many more set the standard for taut, creeping dread and tension so thick you could cut it with a knife.
In recent years he’s been touring his works to great acclaim and rapturous response, rightfully claiming his position as an artist of vast influence in both of his primary mediums.
