Debra Hill, the producer of a few of John Carpenter's finest films, including the classic Halloween (and the first two pesky, lesser sequels that I pretend don't exist), The Fog, and Escape from New York, as well as films such as David Cronenberg's adaptation of The Dead Zone, and Terry Gilliam's The Fisher King, died today at the age of 54. For those of us who fed our imaginations with those early, fabulous Carpenter films, her death is a sad one indeed. For more info, check out the link:

Nightmare Town is the last stop before the long dark takes over, the city where logic is usurped by the infernal that lurks within us all. The inhabitants who walk these lonely streets hold no pretense of good taste or propriety. Nor do the inhabitants wander here out of fashion's sake. They have no choice but to dwell here.
