R.A.: Your illest scene is in ‘Assault on Precinct 13′ when they shoot the 8 year old girl.
John Carpenter: That was pretty tough. You know, you can’t kill kids. I don’t know what I was thinking.

R.A.: It’s great. She tells the ice cream man she wants Vanilla Swirl and she gets blasted.
John Carpenter: That’s right. She goes back and gets nailed. We rigged her ice cream cone to blow out blood on her. She was scared at first, but everybody loves getting killed in movies. She had fun.
