He may be famous for such films as Halloween , Escape From New York and Assault On Precinct 13 , but John Carpenter always wanted to make a western. And it seems like he finally might.

“I'm right now workin🅠g on a little gothic western, we'll see if we can get it set up,” he told the Fright Night Festival in Louisville, Kentucky.

“I got into this business to make westerns. An𓂃d I got typecast as a horror director after Halloween. My dream was to have a career in directing 🦄movies and so I went where they wanted me to go.”

TF salutes Carpenter's attempts to get back on the horse, so to speak, especially as♓ back in 2008 he seemed to have given up on the idea.

“I kind of stopped believing in that. You can’t get a western made now. I had a western come along that I liked, but th🐲ey wanted to turn it into a science-fiction movie!” he k with a laugh. “They don&r෴squo;t believe that they can sell a western.”
