Heather Newgen of ComingSoon.net had a brief chat with filmmaker John Carpenter ("Halloween") on the set of the "Fog" remake, and the veteran horror merchant shared some rather straightforward opinions on the current state of the genre: "I’m just a producer on this. I just sit home and watch basketball games on TV. These guys go out and make this movie …
It’s designed to be a PG-13 film. Horror has really changed a lot. It used to be a lot much more hard core. Today it’s drifting towards PG-13 and you know getting girls in and girls don’t like yucky stuff, you know what I mean." Check out CS.net for more of the enjoyably cynical filmmaker’s viewpoints.
