Dude...I cant agree there. Ive never really been interested enough to see Starman...but In the Mouth of Madness?

Easily among Carpenter's best. Amospheric, great story, Sam Neill at his best... To be completly honest, I actually prefer it to Halloween (Ok, not a popular opinion, I know).

Halloween is without a doubt a work of genius, but it's been copied and overdone so much through the years it loses much of the effect. ItMoM on the other hand is just brutally original from beginning to end....you wont find many other films like it.

Dont get me wrong, Halloween is by all means a fantastic film. My own personal preferences lead me closer to In the Mouth of Madness.
