John Carpenter Links
"Movies are pieces of film stuck together in a certain rhythm, an absolute
beat, like a musical composition. The rhythm you create affects the
audience."

The John Carpenter Website
It's where you are now.
The Films of John Carpenter
A good site that I really like. Gives no nonsense views on the films all wrapped with the authors own sense of humour that you may (and I am sure he hopes you do) get offended by and just have to send him a complimentary email. Go on and have a look and enjoy it.The Carpenticized Side of the Web
Mohammed Khan, a regular contributor to my news pages, has set up his own JC web page. As well as the usual news/reviews he also has unique sections such as a list of JC films on TV (for the US) and source texts of JC adaptations.
The John Carpenter CD Index
This is a fantastic site devoted to the composer side of JC. Seperate sections for every CD include scans of the covers, liner notes, full track listings and credits. A joy to view, go there and see an often forgotten side of JC. Included is a Real Audio sample of the music from The Sentinel.Assault On Webpage 13
This is a very well designed page with some fantastic images (check out the widescreen section), peppered with great quotes from JC himself.
German John Carpenter Site
This was a great German website that has had to close down - a rough translation of the websites main message indicates it was due to money and the new German internet laws. A real shame.A Journey Through The Mind of The Great John Carpenter
A net new site that has just started up. Original design as well.Official or Professional Sites
(Basically, either official JC sites or parts of other sites like the IMDB, etc.)
