Ninja Bites Dog
A camera crew follows Ninja, a serial killer/thief, around as he exercises his craft. He expounds on art, music, nature, society, and life as he offs mailmen, pensioners, and random people. Slowly he begins involving the camera crew in his activities, and they begin wondering if what they're doing is such a good idea, particularly when the killer kills a rival and the rival's brother sends a threatening letter.

Dance film season pt.2
Ninja has moved from Chicago to some generic small town in America, for a relatively undisclosed reason rock music and dancing is illegal. Ninja takes on the towns minister:
"Ecclesiastes assures us...that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to laugh... and a time to weep. A time to mourn... and there is a time to dance. And there was a time for this law, but not anymore. See, this is our time to dance. It is our way of celebrating life. It's the way it was in the beginning. It's the way it's always been. It's the way it should be now."

John Carpenter Season Pt.3
The fishing town of Antonio Bay in California is about to celebrate its centennial. With preparations for the celebration underway, the centennial is also marked by a series of ominous events; as midnight strikes and the date of the town's centennial begins, various odd phenomena begin to happen all over the sleeping town.
That same night, Father Malone, the town's priest, is in his study in the church when a large piece of stone falls from the wall revealing a cavity. Inside is an old journal, his grandfather's diary from a hundred years earlier. Father Malone removes the book from the wall and begins to read. The diary reveals that in 1880, six of the founders of Antonio Bay (including Malone's grandfather) deliberately sank and plundered a clipper ship named the Elizabeth Dane. The ship was owned by Blake, a wealthy man with leprosy who wanted to establish acolony near Antonio Bay. During a foggy night, the six conspirators lit a fire on the beach near treacherous rocks, and the crew of the ship, deceived by the false beacon, crashed into them. Everyone aboard the ship perished. Antonio Bay and its church were then founded with the gold plundered from the ship.
A supernaturally glowing fog appears, spreading over the sea and moving against the wind...

That was also when Ninja started gaining all the weight
Ginger did all the stunts for the little girl in Aliens, I asked him what happened to his career. He simply told me: "it's a young mans game" and looked off into the distance. I think that was when he started gaining all the weight.
