Fans everywhere can experience Carpenter performing his most iconic themes and fan favorites on Halloween night the way they were meant to be heard. The event marks Carpenter’s first public performance since 2018.
“I’ve been setting my nightmares, dreams, and visions to music for a very long time,” shares Carpenter, who has composed scores for more than 20 films and released four albums of Lost Themes. “Partnering with Bloody Disgusting and Veeps lets us share that experience beyond Los Angeles and New York, so music and horror fans everywhere can feel it live, loud, and in real time this Halloween.”
The Halloween show will feature Carpenter onstage with longtime collaborators Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies.
Ticket access for the livestream will be available to fans globally via Veeps, and Screambox subscribers in the U.S. This marks the first live streaming event available on Screambox – powered by Bloody Disgusting, the horror division of Cineverse.
The event is produced by Storm King Productions, the production company founded and led by Sandy King in association with Bloody Disgusting and vepps.com, a Live Nation company.
As director, writer, producer and composer, John Carpenter has shaped the language of genre cinema for nearly five decades, beginning with his 1978 breakthrough, Halloween. His filmography includes The Thing, The Fog, Christine, In the Mouth of Madness, Assault on Precinct 13, Escape from New York, Escape from L.A., the Oscar-nominated Starman, Big Trouble in Little China, Village of the Damned, Vampires, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, Ghosts of Mars, and The Ward.
For television, Carpenter received the Cable ACE Award for writing the HBO film El Diablo, and directed the acclaimed, Emmy-winning Elvis, starring Kurt Russell. With Tobe Hooper, he co-directed Showtime’s Body Bags, and most recently created, produced and directed the Peacock docu-horror series John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams.
As a composer and recording artist, Carpenter helped define the sound of modern horror with his minimalist, synth-driven scores. In addition to his classic film themes, he has released multiple studio projects, including the Lost Themes albums and the Anthology recordings collecting his most celebrated score work.
Alongside his wife and creative partner, Sandy King, Carpenter is also the co-founder of Storm King Comics, an award-winning line of comic books and graphic novels.
