John Carpenter on His Decade Away from Filmmaking, the Problem With Today's Horror, and The Ward | Movieline: "At times it was reminiscent of a giallo score, even.
Like Claudio Simonetti, who I just met! And I met the beautiful Asia [Argento]. Asia comes in with that Eli Roth. I don’t know about that guy. The guy’s got all this Hollywood hair, slicked back. Just grinning. Beautiful girl on his arm. [Laughs] She’s very sweet. Her dad is a close friend of mine.
Are you pretty close knit, all of you Masters of Horror?
Some of us are very close. Some of us are real fast friends. Dario [Argento] is probably my best friend. But he and I go back a ways. George Romero is a very close friends. Tobe Hooper I’ve known for years. We just sit and insult each other, tell jokes about each other."
