that's the one with the pro-wrestler/actor from the 80's (forget his name) and the sunglasses that lets you see who's a demon or not, right? Never really saw a great John Carpenter movie. The original Halloween is what he's most famous for, I guess, but I thought that was run-of-the-mill, way overrated. Escape From New York was kind of good, but again, in a campy way like this other one you mentioned.

I did enjoy "They Live" also. Carpenter has had some very good movies ("The Thing", "Starman") but also some terrible ones (Village Of The Dammed)
As for funnier, how about "Plan 9 From Outer Space" written and directed by the inimitable Edward D. Wood, Jr.

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse ? Bruce Springsteen

I forgot about The Thing. Yeah, that was pretty decent; real 'ooky' effects, and some suspense. Plan 9 From Outer Space! That's an amazing movie to watch with a few drinks under your belt. Here's another one to make a neat double feature: Robot Monster. It's not an Ed Wood 'classic' but it's the next funniest one to Plan 9.

"Benson, Arizona the warm wind in our hair My body flies the galaxies My heart longs to be there Benson, Arizona The same stars in the sky But they seemed so much kinder When we watched them you and I" They don't write songs like that any more !

Just watching Rio Bravo, and there's a commentary track by John Carpenter (a huge Howard Hawks fan).

I saw "Robot Monster" years ago on MTV. You're right, a very close competitor to "Plan 9". (Who knew aliens would appear much like gorillas, except with diving helmets.)
