John Carpenter Curates Two-Night Horror Programming Event For Turner Classic Movies This July
Turner Classic Movies (TCM) has announced its July programming highlights, which include a celebration of independent filmmaking and a special two-night genre event curated and co-hosted by horror legend John Carpenter.
In recognition of Independence Day, TCM Spotlight: American Independents “traces the evolution of American independent filmmaking through a collection of groundbreaking films made outside the traditional Hollywood studio system.”
This series highlights pioneering artists and maverick filmmakers who helped reshape the landscape of American cinema. Look for landmark works from Ida Lupino, Ed Wood, George A. Romero, John Waters, and David Lynch to be included in the roster of filmmakers spotlighted in the collection.
TCM also presents The Carpenter Zone this July, a two-night programming event curated and co-hosted by John Carpenter.
Instead of programming Carpenter’s films, though, the filmmaker is highlighting genre films that inspired his own works. The lineup includes The Quatermass Xperiment (1955), Them! (1954), It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958), The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), The Mummy (1959), and Curse of the Demon (1957).
Throughout the two-night event, Carpenter will share introductions and commentary on the films that helped shape his lifelong love of genre filmmaking.
Additional programming details, including daily schedules, are available at TCM.com.
