The John Carpenter: Master of Fear Collection, featuring The Thing, Prince of Darkness, They Live and Village of the Damned, delivers all the shocks, suspense and sinister twists fans have come to expect. Dare to enter the world of John Carpenter: it’s a journey to the dark side of humanity that you won’t soon forget... The Thing In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Soon unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and takes on the appearance of those it kills. They Live Aliens are gaining control of the earth by masquerading as humans and lulling the public into submission. Humanity's last chance lies with a lone drifter who stumbles upon a unique pair of sunglasses that reveal the terrifying and deadly truth. Prince of Darkness A group of graduate students and scientists uncover an ancient canister and inadvertently unleash a strange liquid from it. As the substance turns their co-workers into zombies, the remaining members realize they have released Satan himself. Village of the Damned After an unseen force invades a quiet coastal town, ten women mysteriously find themselves pregnant. A local physician and a government scientist join forces when the women simultaneously give birth…and the reign of terror begins. Review: Four great films! - Four great films in one small package! Review: Fun collection! Great for something different on Halloween!!! - I mostly bought this collection because it includes The Thing, but for the great price I figured I would buy this collection since it also includes 3 other films by John Carpenter that I had not seen before. Very fun if you want to watch some different movies that you probably haven't seen before, and great around Halloween when you want a fun movie night. Reviews: The Thing - 10/10, A horror classic that is still scary and horrifying today with outstanding practical effects. Prince of Darkness - 6/10, Strange horror movie. Good acting and interesting idea, but falls through in execution. The plot is complicated and jumps around, leaving something to be desired. They Live - 8/10, Iconic film. I was expecting a horror movie, but this ended up being more of an action movie with heavy political commentary about media, capitalism and their effects on society. Fun watch! Village of the Damned - 7/10, Fun supernatural horror about kids with psychic powers in a small town. Somewhat reminiscent of Children of the Corn. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0024FADBA | | Actors | Christopher Reeve, Donald Pleasence, Kurt Russell, Lisa Blount, Roddy Piper | | Aspect Ratio | 2.35:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,103 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #104 in Horror (Movies & TV) #105 in Mystery & Thrillers (Movies & TV) #402 in Action & Adventure DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,295) | | Director | John Carpenter | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 1106090 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0), English (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 2 | | Producers | David Foster, Larry Franco, Lawrence Turman, Michael Preger, Sandy King | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 0.01 ounces | | Release date | September 15, 2009 | | Run time | 6 hours and 45 minutes | | Studio | Universal Pictures Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Format:** Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Initial release date:** 2009-09-15 - **Language:** English ## Images ![John Carpenter: Master of Fear 4-Film Collection [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tiUM9rFUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four great films! *by R***L on January 3, 2026* Four great films in one small package! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun collection!

The best by far is "The Thing" with Kurt Russell. But two lesser known films are really excellent. "They Live" with surprisingly good actor "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is a creepy allegory about a surveillance state and waking up to soft tyranny. The best lines are "put the glasses on" and "I'm all out of bubblegum". Funny and yet profound, it is a creepy film with modern resonance relevant today. The next gem is "Prince of Darkness", about the return of the antichrist. If you buy into the premise, you'll enjoy the film. Suspenseful and dark, the film features a cameo of Alice Cooper. The last film is a remake of "Village of the Damned". I saw the original and it is better. This newer version has Superman Christopher Reeve and Kirsty Alley. It's an ok film, but definitely the runt of this litter. ## Frequently Bought Together - John Carpenter: Master of Fear 4 Film Collection (The Thing / Prince of Darkness / They Live / Village of the Damned) - The Wes Craven Horror Collection (The Serpent and the Rainbow / Shocker / The People Under the Stairs) - The Blob (1988) / Christine (1983) / Fright Night (1985) / Seventh Sign --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5139269-john-carpenter-master-of-fear-4-film-collection-dvd](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5139269-john-carpenter-master-of-fear-4-film-collection-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
