Press - Articles/Interviews - Escape From New York (Special thanks to
The Official John Carpenter for some of these articles)

Note: Very few magazines sell back issues these days. Therefore I decided to begin to scan some articles featured in OOP (out of print) magazine not sold by the ones who made them. If someone feel that I violate some copyright laws or just don't want me to have an article here, just let me know and I'll remove it.
