I wish I could go through a wormhole and watch They Live starring Kurt Russell. Just to see what it would've been like. I suspect there wouldn't be such a baroque alleyway brawl, complete with back body drops and the like.
I'd say Prince of Darkness was pretty fucking awesome. Sorry, but Satan hiding behind a mirror is more unnerving than Michael Myers. For some reason, it's Carpenter's ability to instill a fear of something so outlandish that gets to me much more than the masked villain. Granted, it is silly in parts, but the concept is very solid. It was him playing with different genres...for better or worse.
Which is why RZ's Halloween has left a bad taste whenever I view anything from the Halloween series. Trying to rationalize Myers-as-killer origin makes it blow/suck/ZJ ass. How one would ZJ ass is unquantifiable...which is why RZ deserves to ZJ ass until the sun dies.
