Master of Horror John Carpenter receives Hollywood Walk of Fame star

A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame honoring John Carpenter, who has received the nickname "The Horror Master" for directing such films as "The Thing" and "Halloween," will be unveiled Thursday.

Director John Carpenter attends the screening of 'Scarface'' during day 3 of the 2018 TCM Classic Film Festival on April 28, 2018 in Hollywood, California. Carpenter has ventured outside the horror genre with such films as the 1984 science fiction love story, "Starman," and the 1992 comedy-drama, "Memoirs of an Invisible Man." He collaborates with Storm King Productions on comics and graphic novels, and recently returned to directing with the Peacock series "Suburban Screams."
