No it's not a typo.
Please tell me if I am over-reacting.
While walking around the north end of Chicago I noticed a poster, flyer (whatever) in several store front windows for a local play opening up this October 16th. The title: The Carpenters Halloween. A play "re-inacting John Carpenters Halloween but set to the lush, beautiful songs of the Carpenters."
The poster features a life size bust of Michael Myers (the psycho from Halloween), complete with lipstick and eye shadow, and -here's the really disturbing part- the real Carpenters logo featured (prominantly) in a blood-dripping, creeper type font.
I have already sent this info to the Carpenters camp, but -honestly- am I alone thinking this is just, well...wrong?! I just think it uses K&R's hard work and artistry as a joke, a punchline, a Dennis Miller-esque sucker-punch.
Don't get me wrong. I love the Halloween movie (one of my faves) and I cherish, love and live for Carpenters music, but the two -together- seem wrong.
Your thoughts.....
