Também conhecido como: John Howard Carpenter
John Howard Carpenter (Carthage, Nova Iorque, 16 de Janeiro de 1948) é um realizador, argumentista, produtor, editor e compositor de cinema americano. Apesar de Carpenter ter trabalhado em vários géneros de cinema, está mais associado aos filmes do género de terror e de ficção cientifica dos anos de 1970 e 1980.
Grande parte dos filmes da carreira de Carpenter foram fracassos tanto a nível critico como comercial, exceptuando notavelmente Halloween (1978), Escape from New York (1981) e Starman (1984). No entanto, muitos dos seus filmes de 1970 e de 1980 como Dark Star (1974), Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), The Fog (1980), The Thing (1982), Christine (1983), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), Prince of Darkness (1987) e They Live (1988) tornaram-se desde então clássicos de culto, e Carpenter por conseguinte, reconhecido como um cineasta influente.
Carpenter nasceu no estado de Nova Iorque em 1948, filho de Milton Jean e Howard Ralph Carpenter, um professor de música. Ele e sua família mudaram-se para Bowling Green, Kentucky, em 1953. Desde a infância foi fascinado por filmes, principalmente pelos westerns de Howard Hawks e John Ford, bem como por filmes de terror e ficção científica de baixo orçamento dos anos 1950, como Forbidden Planet e The Thing from Another World, filmando filmes curtos de horror, antes mesmo de entrar no colegial. Estudou na Universidade do Oeste de Kentucky, onde seu pai presidia o departamento de música, transferindo-se depois para a Escola de Artes Cinematográficas da Universidade do Sul da Califórnia em 1968, onde graduou-se em 1971.
Os seus filmes são caracterizados por uma luminosidade e fotografia minimalista e utilização de câmaras estáticas. Com a exceção dos filmes The Thing, Starman e Memoirs of an Invisible Man, John Carpenter marcou todos os seus filmes (embora em alguns são colaborações), com seus temas, os mais famosos são dos filmes Halloween e Assault on Precinct 13. Distintas composições sintetizadas são normalmente usadas, sendo compostas por ele mesmo. John Carpenter descreve-se como influenciado por Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock e The Twilight Zone.
