John Carpenter’s mixtape

Verity Sharp shares an exclusive mixtape from the Master of Horror himself, director and composer John Carpenter.

It's Halloween, everyone's entitled to one good scare…

Prepare for a mixtape from the master of horror, John Carpenter. Known as the Prince of Darkness, Carpenter is one of the most celebrated directors and composers of the horror genre, the man behind the Halloween series, The Thing and The Fog among many others.

A huge music-lover, Carpenter believes music is the greatest of all artforms and a reason to be alive. So with that in mind, he has curated some of his favourite tracks for the Late Junction mixtape, including soundtracks from Dario Argento’s Suspiria composed by the Italian prog-rock band Goblin, compositions by Ennio Morricone and Vince DiCola, and some classics from the likes of Devo and Buffy Saint-Marie.

Elsewhere in the show, voice artist Anna Clemati and producer and multi-instrumentalist Thomas Stern join forces to channel Kurt Schwitters’ dada poetry via electronics, loops, and pots and pans. Plus, a new folk song from Los Angeles based “walking, talking jukebox†Jerron Paxton, and mercurial drone-metal cello from Oliver Coates.
