Carpetar celebrated one of the worst Christmas movies so far madeBut "Shadow Company" could add a festive classic to his impressive Over. She tells the story of Akeei Pollard, avoiding a Vietnam veteran, which is tasked with stopping the Undead superhedted group to lie in the California city of Christmas. Pollard has a history of these comrades of his time in Vietnam, and he knows that it will take a lot of fiery power to stop.

While the premise is undeniably beautiful, you may be wondering why "Shadow Company" would be a classic, opposite the shelter movie 80s. To begin with, he was written from the Christmas action film Maverick Jane Black and his band "Monster Squad" Fred Decker. Moreover, Walter Hill-Legend of the genre behind the classic classic genres such as "Warriors" and "South Comfort"-appeared on the ship as a producer and stabbed the script with his trading sign of hard dialogue.

With so many great talents attached to the project, "Shadow Company" was supposed to be a safe thing. So what prevented it from happening?

Before we look at why the Shadow company got stuck in the development of hell, let's take a moment to recall how undeniable Johnon Carpenter in the late 1980s.

Carpenter directed many great moviesThus, he probably does not allow her to be allowed, if the story of "Shadow Company" moved him away from his current life playing video games and watching basketball. After all, rejection is part of the game to be a director. Hopefully, the sleeping project would be resurrected one day-but it would have been better in the 1980s, when Kurt Russell was in his action Starwar Premier and Carpenter was not semi-pensed.
