1* AudienceAlienatingEra: It's generally accepted that in the 90s, Carpenter's directorial work (with one or two exceptions) slipped into one and depending on who you ask, he may not have ever come out of it.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
3** Many of his film scores and his debut album ''Lost Themes''.
4** And now he has released ''Lost Themes II'' and started touring with a band to rave reviews. Carpenter's really cementing his CoolOldGuy status these days.
5* CultClassic: A great many of his films are modern-day examples, as they were never mainstream hits upon their initial release, but have attracted major followings over the span of decades.
6* NightmareFuel: The absolute ''king'' of this trope! There's a ''damn'' good reason he's still highly regarded as a horror master.
7* VindicatedByHistory: Along with the Cult Classic example above, many of his films have been subjected to this trope. ''Film/TheThing1982'' being probably the most notable.
