Show Notes
What do you get when you take a creatively brilliant director, give him all the leeway he wants, resulting in a film that is a commercial failure but a sleeper hit? You get a very pissed off John Carpenter is what you get. Despite a career of culturally significant awesomeness - “Starman,” “The Thing,” being Adrienne Barbeau’s husband - all it took was some big trouble in Little China for funding to dry up. With that comes the shot-on-a-shoestring horror classic, “Prince of Darkness.” It is an acquired taste, as you will see. As usual, we also talk about a bunch of other stuff we’ve been watching, because this is a podcast, and that’s what you do.
