As director, writer, producer, and composer, Carpenter has brought to the screen some of the most popular and influential films in history. Starting out with his 1978 breakthrough: a low-budget horror film called Halloween, which shook both moviegoers and the film industry with a force that continues to be felt nearly 50 years later."

Located at 7000 Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, Carpenter?s marks the 2,806th star embedded in the sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street."

Hollywood Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez said:

"The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to pay tribute to director John Carpenter with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has forever shaped the horror genre and has created lasting cinematic masterpieces. It is an honor to dedicate a star to such a talented and influential director."
