Some of the films are very much John Carpenter films but others like Village of the Damned, Starman (Not a misfire but definitely not a baby of Carpenters despite it's success) and Memoirs of an Invisible Man he seemingly just turned up to direct rather than have any great input into their creation.
Starman is a great film but I forget its even made by John Carpenter. I picked up Memoirs a few months back but haven't got round to a viewing yet. My favourite of his is still The Fog I think.
