Off-topic I realise but a seasonal query none the less - On the Anchor Bay 25th anniversary edition of 'Halloween' there is a documentary about the making of the film with brief clips from an unidentified 1978 BBC production which features on-location interviews with the director John Carpenter and star Donald Pleasence. I'm guessing this is a location report from Film78 but can anyone confirm the origins? Thanks.

Itvs thruout:CARPENTER: On Halloween, like scaring people, on Dark Star an
expanded 45 min film so insufficiently structured, don't like films with
messages, films should have a theme but seek to entertain, prefer older
action films, dislike 'Close Encounters' and work of Altmanmasturbatory
films, would have liked to work in 1940s in Hollywood, films today lack
texture, spoilt by TV PLEASENCE :Feel Carpenter's scripts are overwritten but
not meant to be realistic. Illus with clips thruout ex Halloween (Miracle
Films) Dark Star (Oppidian Films) Assault on Precinct 13(Miracle )The thing
From Another World(Anthony Morris)RedRiver(United Artists)&in contrast Paul
Schrader's new film Blue Collar(CIC)Incls s of filming of scene from Halloween
