John Carpenter turns a hell-elevator dream into ‘Cathedral’ graphic novel and album
- John Carpenter has released a graphic novel titled 'Cathedral' along with an original album.
- The project involved collaboration with his godson Daniel Davies and son Cody Carpenter.
- The idea for the project originated from a dream about an elevator that goes to hell.
- Carpenter's wife, Sandy King, assisted in publishing the graphic novel.
- The album features spooky instrumental tracks reminiscent of Carpenter's classic film scores.
John Carpenter has often collaborated with those closest to him throughout his career. But making 'Cathedral,' a graphic novel with an accompanying original album out Friday, was truly a family affair.
The famed director of seminal horror films like 'The Thing' and 'Halloween' says the movie business is all 'corporate' nowadays. So the 78-year-old prefers to find alternative, less expensive ways to stay creatively fulfilled.
After a dream about an abandoned downtown Los Angeles church with an elevator that goes to hell, Carpenter enlisted his godson, Daniel Davies, and his son, Cody, to collaborate on the album. It’s comprised of spooky instrumental tracks evocative of some of his iconic classics, like the theme from 'Halloween.'
约翰·卡朋特将地狱电梯梦幻化为《大教堂》图画小说和专辑
约翰·卡朋特在职业生涯中常常与身边的人合作。但制作《大教堂》这部图画小说及其伴随的原创专辑，确实是一项家庭事务。
这位著名的恐怖电影导演表示，如今电影行业完全是“企业化”的。因此，这位78岁的导演更倾向于寻找替代的、成本更低的方式来保持创作的满足感。
在梦到一个通往地狱的电梯的废弃洛杉矶市中心教堂后，卡朋特邀请了他的教子丹尼尔·戴维斯和儿子科迪合作制作专辑。专辑包含了让人联想到他一些经典作品的恐怖器乐曲目，例如《万圣节》的主题曲。
