==Produkcija==
''Prince of Darkness'' was shot in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]] in 30 days. Carpenter became inspired while researching [[theoretical physics]] and [[atomic theory]]. He recalled, "I thought it would be interesting to create some sort of ultimate evil and combine it with the notion of matter and anti-matter."<ref name=Boulenger-201/> This idea, which would eventually develop into the screenplay for ''Prince of Darkness'', was to be the first of a multi-picture deal with Alive Pictures, where Carpenter was allocated $3 million per picture and complete creative control.<ref name=Boulenger-201>Boulenger, pp. 201</ref>
Executive producer [[Shep Gordon]] was also manager to singer [[Alice Cooper]], and suggested Cooper record a song for the film. Carpenter also cast Cooper as one of the homeless zombies. Cooper allowed the "impaling device" from his stage show to be used in the film in the scene where Cooper's character kills Etchinson.<ref>Boulenger, pp. 204</ref> The song Cooper wrote for the film, also titled "Prince of Darkness", can be heard briefly in the same scene playing through Etchinson's headphones.
Carpenter cast people that he had worked with previously, including Victor Wong, Dennis Dun and Donald Pleasence. It was Peter Jason's first film for Carpenter, and he would afterward become a Carpenter regular.
The film was shot with wide-angle lenses, which combined with [[anamorphic]] format to create a lot of distortion.
Carpenter wrote the screenplay but was credited as "Martin Quatermass", which along with the name of Professor Birack's institution ("Kneale University") was an homage to [[United Kingdom|British]] film and television writer [[Nigel Kneale]] and his best-known character, [[Bernard Quatermass]]. The story features elements associated with Kneale, including a confrontation with ancient evil (''[[Quatermass and the Pit]]'' and ''[[Quatermass (TV serial)|The Quatermass Conclusion]]''), messages from the future (''[[The Road (1964 film)|The Road]]''), and the scientific investigation of the paranormal (''[[The Stone Tape]]''). Kneale was displeased with the homage, fearing that viewers might believe that he had something to do with the film.
The poster for ''Prince of Darkness'' was created and designed by Henry Rosenthal, who worked for print production vendor [[Rod Dyer]].<ref>{{cite book | last=Murray| first=Andy | title=Into the Unknown: The Fantastic Life of Nigel Kneale |type=paperback|year=2006 | location=[[London]]|publisher=[[Headpress]] | isbn=1-900486-50-4 | pages=158}}</ref>
According to Carpenter in the DVD audio commentary, the post-production was done at the [[Walt Disney Studios (Burbank)|Walt Disney Studios]] in [[Burbank, California|Burbank]], [[California]].
In an interview with Michael Doyle in the November 2012 issue of ''Rue Morgue'', John Carpenter revealed how he created the eerie dream sequences in ''Prince of Darkness'' that feature a shadowy figure emerging from a church doorway. Carpenter first shot the action of the figure (played by actor Jessie Ferguson) with a video camera and then "re-photographed it on a television set" in order to give the image a peculiar, dislocated feeling that also appeared as if it was being filmed live. Doyle also reminded Carpenter that the director himself provided the disembodied voice that narrates each dream.
