Houston, TX, August 6, 2026 —
Filmmaker and composer John Carpenter has announced a new creative endeavor, an original album and graphic novel titled ‘Cathedral.’ This project marks a significant collaboration between Carpenter, his son Cody Carpenter, and his godson Daniel Davies.
The inspiration for ‘Cathedral’ reportedly stems from a vivid dream experienced by John Carpenter. In this dream, he envisioned an abandoned church located in Los Angeles, complete with a chilling detail: an elevator that led to hell. This surreal imagery served as the foundational concept for the album and graphic novel.
Adding another layer of familial and professional involvement, Carpenter’s wife, Sandy King, who has a background as a comic book publisher, contributed to the development of the graphic novel component of the project.
Details regarding the release date, specific musical genres, or further plot points of the graphic novel have not yet been provided. The announcement positions ‘Cathedral’ as a multi-faceted artistic offering, merging musical composition with visual storytelling, drawing directly from Carpenter’s unique imaginative experiences.
