John Carpenter To Receive Los Angeles Film Critics Association’s Career Achievement Award
Nearly 50 years after they honored him with their New Generation Award, John Carpenter will receive LAFCA's Career Achievement Award.
“John Carpenter is such an ideal choice not only for his ability to spin stylish, prescient, genre-bending features of otherworldly menace and powerful emotion, but also because his glorious career happens to span our group’s 50-year existence,” LAFCA President Robert Abele said. “That strong connection starts with LAFCA recognizing his horror prowess early on with our New Generation Award in 1979 for his stone-cold classic Halloween. In addition to Halloween, Carpenter’s iconic horror repertoire includes such titles as The Fog(1980), The Thing(1982), Christine(1983), They Live(1988) and Village of the Damned(1995).
