Did John Carpenter Actually Make Zombie Movies Without Zombies?

It’s clear that a significant portion of his acclaim comes from his profound contributions to the horror genre, which earned him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as a testament to his remarkable career. He essentially pioneered the slasher genre through “Halloween” and explored nearly every subgenre of horror films, ranging from vampire movies to possession films to Lovecraftian horror, even dabbling in various styles. However, unlike many other genres, a zombie movie is missing from his filmography. It appears that the horror maestro never created a zombie film, but it seems he may have always harbored an interest in doing so.
