This track leaves a lot to be desired. There are many looooong pauses throughout the track; so much so that they are reduced to using interviews (one of which that's actually on the dvd) with Clark to fill dead space.

I guess there is some good info here and there, nothing extremely memorable, though, and no great stories or anecdotes from Bob to really help keep it from being a bit boring.

It also doesn't help that the track is somewhat low-fi sounding. Bah Humbug. 5/10

A very mediocre track by Clark, narrates a lot of what's going on and talks about the objective and subjective camera shots. Lots of dead space as well, but there is the most interesting part when he talks about how he talked to John Carpenter about a possible sequel and how the person was going to escape from a mental institution around Halloween and how he was going to call it Halloween! Worth a listen for that gem alone!
