Great write-up. I still have nightmares about those tacheyon transmissions.

That trailer rips I love a good old school HUGE horror trailer - this one and the In the Mouth of Madness one just… magical
ITA to everything but can we talk about Brian's uneven 'stache?
OOOOOH shit I hadn't even noticed that but you're totally right omg
It's all I can look at whenever he's on screen.
Definitely time for a rewatch. I also kinda wish Dennis Dun became more of a thing.
I need to watch this again, it’s been decades. I’d forgotten about Alice Cooper! Love him (seen live twice).
Love the trailer -- super fun read!!
Great trailer, great, underrated Carpenter movie and score, and great essay.
Love JC making HIS own Italian horror film. And I mean menacing homeless Alice Cooper, c’mon.
Thank you! I agree it's very Italian horror coded but with his own spin on it - also Alice Cooper is fucking terrifying here omg
100…he is freaky for sure.
If Carpenter had put a stronger mustachioed lead (I’m lookin at you Tom Adkins) in the hero role it could have been closer to top tier Carpenter. I feel like Carpenter was casting a stand in for himself maybe?
