What makes John Carpenter's scary stories unique?

John Carpenter has a unique way of building suspense. He doesn't rely on a lot of jump scares. Instead, he lets the tension slowly build up. In 'The Fog', for instance, the idea of the approaching fog that contains vengeful spirits is made more terrifying by the slow - burning build - up of the story. The audience is constantly on edge waiting for the inevitable encounter with the horror.

Carpenter is great at creating iconic villains. For example, Michael Myers in 'Halloween' is just a simple yet extremely menacing figure. His presence alone can send chills down your spine. And he doesn't need to be overly complex to be terrifying. Also, his settings are often very relatable, like small towns or isolated places, which makes the horror feel closer to home.

His use of music. Carpenter often composes the music for his own works. The simple yet haunting melodies add a lot to the overall scariness of the stories.
