Rather, I mentioned just to point out that knowing Halloween was shot after, it makes Someone's Watching Me! perhaps more interesting in terms of Carpenter's developing technique. It's also notable how both films really make good use of very small, normally innocuous residential spaces.Peter Brackehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616800393193278786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-46428365883991065302017-08-01T23:57:09.990-07:002017-08-01T23:57:09.990-07:00Thanks for the reminder to revisit this piece, whi...Thanks for the reminder to revisit this piece, which I'd been meaning to do. I became aware of the history behind the project well after penning my original remarks, which of course contained an inaccuracy about the timing of the production. As a longtime Carpenter fan, I'm embarrassed that I let such an obvious mistake live on the web for so long. Thanks again.By Peter Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11385971732301020652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-27337953282065471642017-08-01T22:19:35.189-07:002017-08-01T22:19:35.189-07:00Just a quick note, John Carpenter actually shot So...Just a quick note, John Carpenter actually shot Someone's Watching Me! (originally titled Highrise) before Halloween, though they debuted in reverse order. The two were made, in fact, almost on top of one another, with Halloween beginning production a mere three weeks after Someone's Watching Me!. In interviews over the years, Carpenter has said that he tested first in Someone many of the techniques he would go on to employ to better effect in Halloween. <br /><br /><br /><br />Peter Brackehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616800393193278786noreply@blogger.com
