    Is anyone here a fan of the music of John Carpenter? He's a film director who did movies like Escape From New York, The Thing, They Live and most famously the original Halloween. I'm not a huge music person and music isn't terribly important in my life but his stylings have always touched me. Here's a few examples of his moody 70s-syntho style music from some of his scores:

    I was just curious if there were any fellow John Carpenter fans, whether you like his music or his movies, in this case the music of his films (he often composed for his movies, rarely he didn't and would compose even for movies he didn't make) has always been an important part of my life, particularly growing up, it helped shape my taste in cinematic music and whatnot.

    I haven't heard a lot of his scores, but I was so close to getting his lost works on vinyl last summer, and so bummed I missed out on that opportunity.

    His Lost Themes II is coming out soon, on vinyl, I think.
