Master of horror John Carpenter spoke to the Times about his long career in film and his first streaming series, the anthology 'Suburban Screams,' coming to Peacock on Friday.
John Carpenter has a gift for conjuring frights where you least expect them — say like the terror of a masked maniac slicing up teens in suburbia to a hypnotic, dread-inducing synth score — and, at 75, he still wields a wickedly droll sense of humor. As we turn the corner into his office, the cheekily self-proclaimed 'horror master' cackles at the sight that greets all who dare to enter: a life-sized cardboard cut-out of 'Believe'-era Justin Bieber.
You recreate this woman's testimony of being stalked by a mysterious stranger with the suspense of a horror film, building real tension and menace. How did you find your way in? I needed a really great actress , and I found her. That takes care of about 90% of my problem. This poor girl. Six years she's been stalked, but they can't find who it is. So I listened to her story. We hit the points that are going to translate into a visual story. Poor thing.
