Veteran film-maker John Carpenter has, during an interview with film students, described Rob Zombie – who directed the 2007 remake of Carpenter’s cult horror film Halloween – as a “piece of shit” who “lied” about him.
Carpenter referred to Zombie’s appearance in Halloween: The Inside Story, a documentary about the film that aired on the Biography Channel in October 2010, and said: “He lied about me.
He said that I was very cold to him when he told me that he was going to make [Halloween].
Zombie (real name Robert Bartleh Cummings) has directed seven feature films in addition to his career as a musician, which began in 1985 when he co-founded heavy metal band White Zombie.
