John Carpenter Asks “What The Hell Is A Letterboxd” After Team Debunks “Fake Account”


After his team debunked an impersonator on the social platform, John Carpenter has discovered Letterboxd.

The legendary horror director was only recently introduced to the popular moviegoers’ social media platform after his team debunked a Carpenter impersonator who had some fun in the diary entries of some of his films. Launching in 2011, Letterboxd has gained massive popularity among moviegoers since the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing users to log, rate and review the films they watch. While the fake account, which has since been taken down, praised such Carpenter classics as Halloween(1978) and The Thing(1982), it also shared some brutally honest reviews of other films, like one about his 1992 sci-fi comedy Memoirs of an Invisible Man.
