One of the all-time visionaries of the horror genre is without a doubt, John Carpenter. He is responsible for some of the best horror movies ever made, including Halloween, The Thing and Christine. He's also written a lot of his own work, and even composed the score for many of his own movies. One of the last movies he directed was John Carpenter's Vampires in 1998, and it wasn't given the credit it deserved upon its release, but like many of his projects, it has gained a cult following as the years have gone by. It starred James Woods, Daniel Baldwin and Sheryl Lee, and was distributed by Colombia Pictures.
