How tragic that we lost George A. Romero and Tobe Hooper in 2017. We've lost too many amazing directors. Glad John is still with us.

This interview was recorded about a year before John Carpenter gave us his version of The Thing & George Romero gave us Creepshow.

Every time I’ve seen a John Carpenter interview he seems so well spoken and intelligent and honest.

Love seeing this old interview. My 2 fav horror directors

Casual smoking on the telly :-) God bless the 80's

Happy 73rd bday, to Lord Carpenter. And, forever Lord Romero.

Awesome upload! It’s great seeing Carpenter and Romero at the height of their careers. All three men were fascinating to listen to. Wish this was two hours longer.

It's funny to see Jeannot Swarcz here as a "horror director" because right after this he would direct Somewhere In Time, Supergirl, and Santa Claus: The Movie! Yikes! For the record, Bug and Jaws 2 are pretty good flicks though. But great to see the 3 guys (2 certified legends in JC and Romero) shooting the shit before the cynicism and burn-out set in. Always a treat to see them still having fun and at their creative peak.

Oh George, how we miss you

seeing George A. Romero sitting side-by-side with John Carpenter... is honestly "Better Than Sex".

Thanks so much.. Never seen this clip. I think this is how I personally ALWAYS want to remember both George A. Romero & John Carpenter? Only thing that's missing is George's scarf lol? Thanks again... Great stuff man

Very insightful interview. Thanks for uploading!

I like Romero's and Carpenter's movies. So ahead of their own time and felt fresh. Plus the gory stuff are excellent at that time without CGI. I also love horror video games, especially those with undead ghouls. Recently I played Dead Island 2. And from the start almost to the end, the name Romero always mentioned or appearing on several locations in the game. And there's even a fictional Romero Award Ceremony near the Hollywood Boulevard in that game. So glad the younger generations still acknowledge Romero as the godfather of zombie movies. (^_^)d

Nice! Thanks for the upload!

Thank you for posting this - pure gold.

I remember watching this the night it aired. It was the first time I got to watch a scene from "Halloween."

Aired at 11:30 pm Central Time/12:30 am Eastern Time....on the evening of Thursday, October 30, 1980.

Dos grandes del cine

Jeannot Szwarc also made the very good Somewhere in Time.

Legends elbow to elbow……….amazing

Romero, legendary Zombie film maker and visionary in social commentary with the Dead trilogy. Carpenter, legendary stylist in visual direction and creativity within the Horror genre as a whole, and some other guy...

George is such an alpha here and clearly commands attention. Not saying he's asking for it but even the interviewer cant help but to gravitate towards him during her questioning. Thanks for the upload!

Didn't Snyder turn out to be a bit of a "Creepshow" himself at some point? Other than that arrogant creep, an excellent presentation. Thank-you very much for the clip. In my opinion George Romero was above them all and we lost him to soon. Carpenter is also fantastic and the other gent obviously talented and very intelligent as well. However, there was always something very special about George Romero. I believe he did what he said and said what he did - literally.

The two masters of horror.

14:17 they discuss the ending of Dr Phibes, which is a similar formula to SAW franchise. Even in the 1980s it shows SAW could have worked.

Carpenter! Romero! Some other guy!

By far the 2 most consistent horror film directors even they had their fair share of stinkers though

Throwing a baby up in the air?

Ladies and gentlemen, two legendary horror filmmakers and some other guy who did a sequel to Jaws and a bunch of crap afterwards...why is it the guy with nothing artistically to say talks so much? I kept wanting John or George to be more involved in the conversation but that fake Shemp kept speaking up...
