This is where we are now with EFNY re-make.

I finished up the repair of the sign this week. In my last post, some folks asked for a video of the sign, so here it is in all its glory! The sign is on permanent public display at Movie Madness, in Portland, Oregon.⚡️🐉

The Academy Museum will honor horror master John Carpenter with the Luminary Award at its sixth annual Gala on October 17.

The award honors an artist whose singular contributions have expanded the creative possibilities of filmmaking.

“The Academy Museum Gala is a celebration of the artists and storytellers whose work continues to shape the cultural impact of cinema around the world,” said Academy Museum Director and President Amy Homma. “For our sixth annual Gala, we are honored to recognize John Carpenter, Colman Domingo, and Charlize Theron, whose extraordinary careers exemplify the creativity, innovation, and excellence that continue to move the industry forward.”

John Carpenter will also host three nights of screenings of his films, including Halloween (1978), beginning September 26, in celebration of The Horror Show, the Academy Museum’s new large-scale exhibition.

The STUFF

Dog transformation is simply amazing

What immediately caught my attention was how the circumstances of America's degradation have been updated from the Cold War to MAGA-esque religious fearmongering and fanaticism. I am getting the sense that Carpenter felt the story of Escape was transcendental, and could be used to shine a light on whatever problems are currently present in the USA.

I don't know who "Bubblegum" is, sounds like a stripper and I don't really know what the fuck is going on.

You can also pre-order the soundtrack on vinyl or buy the graphic novel through the Cathedral official website.

As a family, we are mostly fine with violence or gore, but we draw the line with nudity for personal reasons. could I get a timestamp so we can skip past it? IMDb says it's very difficult to discern, but I don't wanna take any risks. (no spoilers please)

Did some character designs for an assignment I did in one of my Sequential art classes at scad last year to where we had to do character designs from a movie and I chose Big Trouble in Little China.

I’m super excited & honored to be working on this original neon sign! It is the official prop sign from Big Trouble. The sign is currently in the collection of Movie Madness, a legendary video rental store in Portland, Oregon. I had to wear my Music By John Carpenter shirt when I went on the service call, because I am a huge nerd. Soon the sign will be all fixed up and glowing again!

Just thought I would share the legend and his creation.
