JOHN CARPENTER. Photograph signed: "John Carpenter". B/w, 10x8¼ overall, image 10x6¾ (one surface). Captioned at lower margin: "FOG-23 Taking a break during filming of 'THE FOG,' a contemporary tale of supernatural terror, director JOHN CARPENTER is pictured here with his stars ADRIENNE BARBEAU (Mrs. Carpenter in real-life), left, JANET LEIGH, right, and JAMIE LEE CURTIS, daughter of Ms. LEIGH. Also starring HAL HOLBROOK, and JOHN HOUSEMAN, it was produced by Debra Hill from an original screenplay, she wrote with Carpenter, for Avco Embassy Pictures release." Carpenter's film, The Fog, was released in 1980. Carpenter, who played an uncredited role as Bennett in the film, was married to his first wife, actress Adrienne Barbeau from 1979-1984. Multitalented director, producer, actor, composer and writer John Howard Carpenter (born in 1948) began making short films in 1962, and he won the Academy Award for Best Live-Action Short Subject just eight years later (The Resurrection of Broncho Billy, 1970). Carpenter began directing features in 1962, with Revenge of the Colossal Beasts, setting the tone for the horror and suspense movies that would follow, including Halloween (1978), The Fog, The Thing (1982), They Live (1988), Escape from L.A. (1996) and Vampires (1998). Carpenter, who formed a band, The Coupe de Villes, in the mid-1970s, has also composed the scores for a number of films. Some of his music, such as "Halloween Theme", has been heard in other films and on TV shows. An occasional actor who appears in his own films under the name of Rip Haight, Carpenter has been seen in features including The Fog and Village of the Damned (1995) as well as his made-for-TV movie, Body Bags (1993). Carpenter has been married to his second wife, script supervisor and sometimes his co-producer, Sandy King, since 1990. Lightly creased at corners. Minor surface creases (most not evident head on), some at facial images. Fine condition.
