Is this an accurate statement

of your experience?

Why were you at my opening?

Just getting to know you.

Why am I here?

I've given you a statement.

You certainly have.

Look, what's on those pages

is what I saw.

You can see that we might be having

difficulty absorbing it...

...even though

it is what you saw.

I'm going to call my lawyer.

I think it's the time to do that.

Or do you have

to read my rights first?

Hell, no.

I didn't even f risk you yet.

What about this?

That's legal.

Yeah, I know it's legal.

Why do you carry it?

Cut rope and sh*t.

Yeah, I know.

You probably just carry it...

...to protect Miss Mars'

fancy, expensive camera equipment.

And maybe protect her

f rom some creeps, right?

You're the man.

This whole city's f ull of creeps.

Right?

Guess which creep's arrest record

I have here.

What I'm trying to do is give...

...an account of the times

in which I'm living.

I've seen all kinds of murder.

Physical, yes. But moral,

spiritual, emotional murder!

I can't stop it, but I can show it.

I can make people look at it.

That's a very moral point of view.

Thank you.

I've got something

I want to show you.

Where did you get that?

This is you on the f ront

here, isn't it?

Have you ever seen...

...this particular copy

of this book before?

Yes. I saw it happen.

With your own eyes?

In a nightmare.

Were you f riends with Doris Spenser?

I knew her.

Business acquaintances.

And Miss Elaine Cassell?

I knew her...

...well.

I am sick and tired

of waiting back there!

Now I want to know

where my girlf riend is!

-My father is a very...

-My father can whip your father's ass!

Get him out of here.

If you want real suspects,

take a look at that number...

...you just dragged out.

That's right.

You can tell me anything you want.

Why don't you give me

a bit of that Rona Barrett?

Frankly, I don't do Rona Barrett.

How'd you like to see

my Barbara Walters?

Hey, I do a terrific Lloyd Bridges.

These are classified police

photographs of unsolved murders.

They've never been

published anywhere at all.

Now, what I would like you to do

is compare your photograph to ours...

...in this case...

...and in this case.

-My question is simple...

-Why are my photos so much like yours?

That's right.

When were these taken?

About two years ago.

This one, about 14 months.

-lt's disturbing.

-Extremely.

-No, the timing is disturbing.

-ln what way?

You go through definite periods

in your work.

About two years ago,

I began to see...

...images of murder, violence.

And it started to become

a part of my work.

By "see, " do you mean...

..."see" as you see

in your statement?

No, I would just be in

John Carpenter

John Howard Carpenter (born January 16, 1948) is an American filmmaker, screenwriter, musician, and composer. Although Carpenter has worked with various film genres, he is associated most commonly with horror, action and science fiction films of the 1970s and 1980s.Most films of Carpenter's career were initially commercial and critical failures, with the notable exceptions of Halloween (1978), The Fog (1980), Escape from New York (1981), and Starman (1984). However, many of Carpenter's films from the 1970s and the 1980s have come to be considered as cult classics, and he has been acknowledged as an influential filmmaker. The cult classics that Carpenter has directed include Dark Star (1974), Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), The Thing (1982), Christine (1983), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), Prince of Darkness (1987), They Live (1988), and In the Mouth of Madness (1995). He returned to the Halloween franchise as both composer and executive producer for the horror sequel Halloween (2018). Carpenter is also notable for having composed or co-composed most of his films' music; some of them are now well-known, with the main theme of Halloween being considered a part of popular culture. He won a Saturn Award for Best Music for the film Vampires (1998). Carpenter has released three studio albums, titled Lost Themes (2015), Lost Themes II (2016), and Anthology: Movie Themes 1974–1998 (2017). more…
