This second edition of the first book-length analysis finds in Carpenter's films a vision of a profound but unexpected order in the universe. The author analyzes Carpenter's early independent work, his made-for-television movies, his big Hollywood films (\u003ci\u003eThe Fog, Escape from New York, The Thing, Stephen King's Christine, Starman\u003c\/i\u003e), his more recent independent work (\u003ci\u003eBig Trouble in Little China, Prince of Darkness, They Live\u003c\/i\u003e), and his contributions to films he did not direct. This edition fully updates the 1990 edition with attention to the films made since that date. With a chronology of Carpenter's career, a detailed filmography, photos, brief plot synopses, and a thorough index, this volume will be treasured by film scholars and fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert C.
