Not Crap - I love the Halloween soundtrack. I listen to it every year.
Usually around Halloween.

Not Crap, for a few reasons, but the most important one is that he has enough "clout" to warrant his movies to be titled
JOHN CARPENTER'S LATEST SPECIAL EFFECTS LADEN ACTION FLICK
or somesuch.

NOT CRAP.
He has directed some truly awesome films. (eg. "The Thing" and "Assualt on Precinct 13").
Plus, he has written some great scores. Particularly "Escape from New York" and "Halloween". (Also great movies).

Not one mention of Big Trouble in Little China! For shame!
I love Carpenter. Even when he's sucking so hard it actually shrinks the aspect ratio of the film, I love him. Unabashed B-movie worship. Everything he makes drips with his enthusiasm for the sheer fun of filmmaking.
Mr. Carpenter, you are NOT CRAP.

Not Carp.
Halloween still scares the living carp out of me.
Vampires was silly and watchable, in a really over-the-top sorta way. Still have to check out the earlier stuff (shame).

John Carpenter, in my mind, is synonymous with Ghosts of Mars, which is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. But, after the initial cringe incurred by the thought of Ghosts of Mars, Vampires, and the Fog, I tend to think of the Thing, which is probably the only redeeming thing he has ever directed, and it was not an original.
Escape From New York was entertaining, but not a movie I consider very good.

John Carpenter seems to bring out the best in Kurt Russell.
