Fear On Film - Landis, Carpenter, Cronenberg Discuss

Part One


Part Two


Part Three

(A somewhat) smug John Carpenter (Assualt on Precinct 13, Halloween, The Thing..) on not having been scared of movies. Ever. (A very Jewish) John Landis (Blues Brothers, An American Werewolf in London, Thriller...) on film ratings and his conversion to gore after Monty Python. And (a most articulate) David Cronenberg (Videodrome, Crash...) on how very happy he is with his work being symbolised by an exploding skull. And all of them on the nature of Horror films, sex vs gore, and learning from audiences. A 26-minute roundtable discussion from 1982 between the filmmakers. Magic. (Thanks Ted).
