This man does not miss. His movies are reliably and consistently high-quality stuff. His range is impressive - from sci-fi, horror, romance, period drama…he kills it all the time. Brilliant, brilliant.

he made “halloween“ so he sorta owns the holiday. like duh the dude is the best - it’s not common to have directors that also score their films and that’s part of why he’s so epic. controlling both sound & vision and really sucking you into these weird movies - his genre is so complex too, not straight horror, not quite comedy
i love all his films for different reasons but these are maybe my top 3:
in the mouth of madness
they live
the fog
My current obsession. Heard it in the film the Killer by David Fincher a few weeks ago and have been unable to stop listening to in since then. It’s such a sultry song.
My favorite poem changes frequently, but this one hit me hard recently.
“How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.”
Such a beautiful description of unrequited love.
