10 Best Movies Inspired by the Work of John Carpenter

"A master of both horror and action, John Carpenter has been experiencing a bit of a resurgence in popularity as of late. With the wildly successful revival of his slasher franchise Halloween (2018)—though he didn't direct the reboot—as well as the highly-anticipated release of Halloween Kills in October, Carpenter's influence appears to be here to stay. Throughout the years, many directors have taken inspiration from Carpenter's restrained style. Many have also pulled from his pitch-perfect, foreboding music, as well as his tendency to allow a narrative to unfold in a single location. From old 1980s favorites to the work of current directors like Adam Wingard (Godzilla vs. Kong), John Carpenter's influence can be felt all over genre cinema."
