Oooo I've not seen Halloween 3, and haven't heard the soundtrack either. I'm gonna have to check both out!

I fell in love with John Carpenter tunes when I started getting into Moog synthesizers (built right here in NC) and I also discovered the whole genre of synthwave this way, haha. But yeah, so dope that White Bat Audio lists John Carpenter as an influence! 🙌

I haven't heard Dario Argento's band, but what a perfect connection to make with John Carpenter — both horror directors that score their own films. I feel like horror in particular is a genre that really relies on the soundtrack to set the atmosphere, create suspense, and deliver on the scares. I'm totally gonna go explore Dario Argento's music and Italian Giallo soundtracks. Thanks for all the awesome info!

Soooo... I stumbled across this months ago and your comment made me think of it. This person envisions a Doctor Who theme if John Carpenter had composed it.
