I thought the lost boys is your fav horror movie of all time?

Also Kurt Russell has done sequels beside Escape from lol He was in both Christmas chronicles movies :) He was also in a couple of the fast and furious movies and part 2 of Guardians of the galaxy....Just to make you feel a little bit more 'Damn my viewers really piss me off sometimes' 😂

Dude, I was racking my brain trying to remember her in groundhog day 😂. Great video

way to ruin the 4th of july, jk, love your content

I wasn't gonna give you 💩 about the mistake, but I was racking my brain about what Bill Murray movie Karen Allen WAS in. Scrooged! Thanks, Cody. GREAT video!❤

Well actually.

He deserves it.

Nah lol. As much as I adore Halloween I think The Thing is the better film.

@HEYitzED Hot take: Big Trouble In Little China is better then both

I'm not so sure about that, Considering how much The Thing is widely seen as one of the best horror films of all time. I'd say putting Halloween at #1 of a Carpenter ranking is arguably the hotter take.

It’s impossible for me to rank Halloween. it could easily be the best based solely on how influential it was or outside the top 3 because of how much Carpenter learned after doing it. I don’t know but I do prefer the Thing.

What about Body Bags?

@@kevinsmith3900 if I was going to include that I would probably put it between In The Mouth of Madness and Assault on Precinct 13

Prince of Darkness so low is wild man.

You ALMOST had me: Move 2 to 6 and 6 to 2, move 4 to 8, move 13 to 4, then move 8 and all left below it down 1 space and you BEAT Cody Leach!!! GREAT JOB!!! ps (55 yr old says) "Nostalgia" makes Halloween #1 FOREVER!!!

Great list

I might move They Live to #3 and move the others down, but I've no real arguments other than preference. 🤘🏼✌🏼

One thing I love about John Carpenter is that he really tried to make genre fiction and B-movies into something that could be respected. The fact that people call him one of the best directors ever despite only making genre fiction is a testament to John Carpenter’s skill as a filmmaker.

For me it's The thing 1982. My childhood was filled with stuff like Akira 1988, Ninja scroll, Perfect blue, Memories 1995, Wicked city & VhD: Bloodlust. By the time I finally checked out Halloween, It felt a kids film to me. Not scary at all but still a good one though.

@@peterfrost377 we got a weeb here lol

Very true, very similar to my opinion, I have Halloween, The Thing and The Fog in my top 10 alone. China and New York just miss out but are top 20.

Thank you

@CodyLeachYT .no...thank you for the entertaining and informative videos!

I’m sure I would’ve liked it more if I watched it younger.

I'm ashamed to say I have yet to see this one.

Banger? Gross 🤢 are you from LUNDUN MATE?!

Welcome aboard! And that’s too cool you were in They Live.

I think the Fog is underrated as hell! It is one of the most atmospheric horror films ever made. It just drips with dread and eeriness. Absolutely no need for onscreen blood and gore.

Awesome!

You also have to remember it was also a remake. The original Thing from Another World is pretty well regarded so making a gory version of it would make people of the 80s not very happy, especially people who loved Halloween which was his most successful film at that point which was know for “being above” gore (despite the fact that it was Yablans’s idea) which made people disappointed in it. Remember all the outrage about slashers being too gory? Yeah, The Thing had similar criticism.

@@thomasffrench3639 Yeah, I kind of forgot about the remake and didn't think about the gore issue. And it came out in 1982, which is fell during the time when the MPAA had a full on hate slashers and and gory horror movies. They were extremely pissed that the original FRIDAY THE 13TH had "gotten away" with all the bloody effects, and were going across every horror movie with a vengeance and would slap an X rating on every horror movie that came their way. And, to make matters worse, especially for independent horror filmmakers, they had no clear cut guidelines that a filmmaker could follow, and would make-up vague guidelines along the way to make things highly difficult for the directors. One of the chief vagaries they would throw out was "cumulative effect" resulting in several submissions to the MPAA just to get an R. There was a certain point when the filmmakers would release them in the cinema unrated, but, eventually the MPAA was strong arming theater chains into not showing any film that had the X rating, or were released unrated. Top that off, they started forcing major studios that were releasing horror movies into agreeing to never release any (horror) movie without an MPAA rating of an R, or less, and would make it difficult for mainstream studios who made horror, and threatening to give any movie they released, no matter what the content was, an automatic X rating, so they had no choice but to comply. Not to mention on the remake front, remakes were not very common at all during that time, based mostly in part to the fact that most remakes that came out during that time were terrible and were made by people who trying to go for the quick cash grab and not putting really any effort into making the movie that people would want to actually go see. What John Carpenter did was make his THE THING remake actually a lot closer to the John W. Campbell story, with characters that were very compelling and that you could actually like, even though some of those characters were unlikable people, which is what they were supposed to be. Heck, if Steven Spielberg had made JAWS with the main characters as they were actually written in the book, then everyone would have been rooting for the shark, and the only semi likeable one of the main characters in the book was Quint.

Good call

Thank you

He also did the 2 Christmas Chronicles movies.

Honestly it's more relevant than it was in the 80s as the fear of technology is going up in modern day.
