Welcome to the site!
Welcome to the unofficial Prince of Darkness website, dedicated to John Carpenter's 1987 horror/sci-fi classic. A heady mixture of quantum mechanics, demonology and Christian beliefs, Prince of Darkness was much maligned on its release but fortunately time has been kinder to the movie and it has achieved something of a cult status in recent years.

Despite being (in our humble opinion) one of Carpenter's finest hours as both director and story-teller, there's a major absence of material online for
Prince of Darkness, with the movie usually getting just a passing mention on most Carpenter fansites. Admittedly it's fair to say that the movie has split many fans of Carpenter - you either love it or hate it. In recent years however, POD has become more appreciated and while it might not be held in as high regard as some other Carpenter favourites such as Halloween or The Thing, the movie has a lot to offer.
All of the things we've come to expect in a great John Carpenter movie are here - a menacing synth-heavy soundtrack, mindless zombie-like bad guys, siege situations, ensemble acting and an ambiguous ending.
As far as we know, this is the first website solely dedicated to Prince of Darkness so we're hoping you'll support the site. We've got lots of material online to begin with, including audio and video clips, cast bios, a large gallery and hopefully lots more to follow.
