'Halloween' filmmaker John Carpenter's rise from college dropout to Hollywood horror movie legend

Kyle Richards told Fox News Digital about her new movie with Jamie Lee Curtis, "Halloween Kills," and her "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" drama. John Carpenter says he had no qualms about dropping out of the University of Southern California's School of Cinema to pursue his film career. "I knew what I was doing," the director of horror classics like 1978's "Halloween" and 1982's "The Thing" told The Associated Press earlier this month. "I just wanted to get out of there, get on with my career." He began working on his first full-length film "Dark Star," which was released in 1974, while he was still at film school before moving on to "Halloween," "The Fog" and "Escape from New York."
