The film that convinced John Carpenter to stay in directing. Feeling burnt out after a string of critical and financial failures, John Carpenter had lost his love for filmmaking and was heavily considering going into retirement following the failure of Escape From L.A. because in his words "it stopped being fun". However, when Carpenter was offered the job for Vampires, he was intrigued by the promise of making a horror-western hybrid, something he had wanted to since the 70's. He made a deal with himself: make one more movie, and if it still isn't fun, retire. Carpenter would later go on to heavily enjoy his time on directing Vampires.
