John Carpenter was revered across the 1970s and 80s for his movies, particularly making a name for himself as a master of Horror.
But now he's abandoned filmmaking for another career that he always had on the side - being a musician.
Music critic Simon Sweetman plays some of the music that Carpenter made for his movies and now makes for albums and live shows.
