(NEXSTAR) — This week, legendary horror director and celebrated composer John Carpenter this week announced a one-night-only concert in New York City just before Halloween later this year. The director, known for films like "Halloween" and "The Thing," will be joined by longtime collaborators Dani el Davies and son Cody Carpenter. The rare event — Carpenter's first live show in New York since 2018 — will be held at Knockdown Center in Queens at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10.

Each installment is based around a genre and is meant to sound like "lost themes" from a forgotten movie. It's a bit of reverse engineering from the horror maestro, whose scores for his films have grown to be as popular as the films they're from. Is Lady Gaga imitating Taylor Swift on this ‘Mayhem’ song?
