9. Ash vs Ash in Evil Dead 2
 
8. Opening scene of Jaws where the late night swimmer is dragged around in the water before being eaten alive.
 
7. Scanners……Head explosion.
 
6. Clarence Boddiker’s lackey crashes into a tank of toxic waste and then stumbles in front of a car chase where he is hit and explodes into a liquid mess in the original Robocop
5. Nightmare on Elm St Freddy vs Johnny Depp… Pulled through the bed followed by blood eruption/ceiling flooding.
 
4. Pam discovers a room full of bones and chickens and tries to escape the house but is chased down by Leatherface and hung on a meat hook where she watches her buds get chainsaw-butchered in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
 
3. In Hellraiser when Frank solves the box and is immediately filled with chains and hooks.
 
2. John Hurt’s scene in Alien where the alien punches a hole through his chest to escape.

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
