Given that it's Halloween and he was just on The Late Show show recently, it seems only right that legendary horror director John Carpenter made a brief return to make Stephen Colbert jump.
In the clip above the host is walking backstage when Carpenter pops out at him, before the two have a silly exchange in which Colbert casually dismisses his biggest franchise.
"You're the master of horror," says Colbert. "The Fog, The Thing, They Live, Christine, In the Mouth of Madness, Prince of Darkness—"
"Halloween?" responds Carpenter.
"Yeah, it's Halloween!"
"No no no, my movie, Halloween."
"Oh, the movie! Yeah, never really did it for me. But they can't all be winners. Thanks John!"
