You can knock his recent films all you want, but John Carpenter will always be one of my favorite horror directors. So despite the fact that GHOSTS OF MARS really sucked, I will continue to remain on the lookout for new Carpenter films. So I was intrigued when a friend pointed out what I presume is a new official John Carpenter website. It’s pretty sparse at the moment but offers a tantalizing glimpse at CIGARETTE BURNS, which is Carpenter’s episode of the MASTERS OF HORROR series which is currently running on Showtime. The site is a little Flash-heavy for my tastes, but there are a few areas where it is genuinely a little creepy.
