The director of Halloween enjoys playing video games more than directing movies
Carpenter takes every opportunity in his free time to play video games and has been doing so for decades, precisely since the days of Sonic the Hedgehog (1991). Well, the creative made some very interesting statements, since he not only revealed that this hobby is a large part of his life, but also confessed that for him “it is much more fun than directing movies.”
This is not to say that Carpenter is losing his love for making movies, not at all. However, like many people, they prefer playing video games to doing their jobs for the simple fact that directing movies is “difficult” and “stressful”; instead, video games are “relaxing”.
“It’s a big part of my life. I enjoy it. (…) I play whenever I can,” the filmmaker said in an interview with The AV Club.

“Yes! Oh yes. I’m proud of myself. And I celebrate it, I don’t know, by smoking a joint,” commented the creative.
