Sadly Carpenter fell off hard after THEY LIVE but up to that point he was hitting home runs on the regular.

Holy shyt I forgot about In The Mouth of Madness. Like Event Horizon this movie freaked me the fukk out the first time I saw it. The alleyway scene and the scene where the chick turns that monster.....

In the mouth of madness, the thing, they live, event horizon, and big trouble are my personal favorites from him.

You guys forgot this gem. I remember being real young and renting it cause Ice Cube was in it. Kept going to the video store to rent this over and over. At 11 I was fantaszing about Pam Grier cause she looked fine in this movie. Years later I saw Jackie Brown and it had me like

The Thing is the shyt. Still holds up to today
