Of all the directors active in commercial American film-making John Carpenter remains the industry's most consistent storyteller. His films, like Halloween, The Thing, Escape From New York and Assault On Precinct 13, spark enthusiasm in those who know them and his name alone will draw people into the cinemas.

Ultimately John Carpenter's reputation is built on his ability to tell a story and tell it well. He excites, thrills and scares audiences the world over. He has set trends and influenced many other directors in the Science Fiction and Horror fields. In the Pocket Essential John Carpenter you can discover his films, his scripts and his music and as well as an introductory essay, each of John Carpenter's films is reviewed and analysed. Not only that, but there's a handy reference section too.
