I'll stick with Halloween and The Fog for Carpenter flicks.

That's being mild. "Prince" is a crap heap. Moronic in the extreme. AWFUL humour dilutes even the smallest chance this cheap looking silly film had of being even slightly good.
The Devil is a stupid splodge in a jar, and then a girl with strawberry jam on her face, the scary satanic helpers are nothing but a bunch of tramps led by the suitably crap as always Alice Cooper and in suitably dumbed down fashion all the horror has to be made a joke of (the scene with the annoying Chinese guy making bad one liners while trapped in the closet is so dreadful Carpenter should have never been allowed on a film set again - which given the other crap he's done since would have been a good thing)...resulting in a true turkey!
The unbroken line of crap and below average movies since this low point shows that Carpenter should have retired years ago and done us and his legacy a big favour.
Tenebre - Now THAT is more like it. True horror class and perhaps Argento's best film.
