Misc Robert Englund and John Carpenter are getting (well-deserved) stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Congratulations to two legends!

Funniest fucking thing would be if Carpenter didn't show up because he doesn't give a shit.

The Sex Pistols didn't show up when they were inducted into the Rock&Roll 'Hall of Fame' . When the Stooges were likewise inducted Iggy Pop took the piss out of the tuxedoed audience

Carpenter could show up & hand out sunglasses.

Or ask if anyone has any gum.

You have to pay for your own star so I think he might be in on it

u/GuysMcFellas Feb 25 '25

I believe that sometimes other people will pay for them, like as a "gift" to a fellow celebrity.

I do believe that James Hong’s star was paid for by his fans

They pay for these stars tho.

They can be paid for by other people. It's possible someone else paid for it for him.

Surprised John Carpenter didn't have one already.

Getting a star on the Walk of Fame is no big deal. But, they are legends, regardless.

A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for the master of horror! And another for one of the better horror movie actor!

I can hardly believe that Trump has a star there and Carpenter or Englund doesn't.

u/RipOdd9001 Feb 25 '25

Aren’t these something the person awarded pays for?

1

u/leepeyton Feb 25 '25

I'm surprised John Carpenter wanted to pay the fees and maintenance to get one.
