Goyer was extolling the virtues of widescreen imagery in horror movies — saying something along the lines that all horror films should be shot in widescreen — with particular emphasis to Dean Cundey's amazing work on John Carpenter's Halloween.

Cundey is THE man! His work with Carpenter is incredible. Also, check out his compositions on ESCAPE FROM NY, which are pretty amazing for what is a essentially a pulpy B-movie.
I also love the work he did on THE FOG and THE THING... it's a shame they haven't done anything together since BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA. I wonder if they had a falling out?
Cundey had his Spielberg/Zemeckis phase. Maybe the two are related.
