American film director, screenwriter, producer, editor and composer, born 16 January 1948 in Carthage, New York. Director of such movies as "Assault On Precinct 13", "The Fog", "Escape From New York", "The Thing", and "Halloween", Carpenter himself composed most of the soundtracks for his films (sometimes with Alan Howarth). His father (Howard Carpenter) and son (Cody Carpenter) are also composer/musicians. He was married to actress Adrienne Barbeau from 1979 to 1984.
Note: in the eighties an LP and a series of 12"s were released with dancey versions of Carpenter's music. Though the sleeves didn't always mention it, those were recorded by The Splash Band.
