Starting tomorrow night and continuing each Wednesday night in October, the Loft Cinema will be screening five films from sci-fi/horror auteur John Carpenter. You're not going to want to miss The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, Assault on Precinct 13, Christine and Halloween on the big screen. To cap it all off, there will be a post-Carpenter shindig on the Loft Cinema's Mooney Backlot Bar & Lounge on October 30 with music provided by yours truly. In the Tooting My Own Horn Department: I'm also the host of Deep Red Radio on 91.3 FM KXCI.
Previously on The Range I gave you five reasons to check out Carpenter's Escape From New York.To chop it up a bit, here's a haiku for each film.
