Biography[]
Carpenter was a local police officer of Wheelsy, South Carolina, who was led by police chief Bill Pardy, and worked with Margaret Hooper, Wally Whale, and Deputy Tourneur.
One night, the town is invaded by parasitic alien organisms, and a local, Grant Grant, gets infected by one of these parasites, which causes him to slowly transform into a grotesque, tentacled monstrosity. After the infected Grant attacks his wife Starla, Carpenter and the rest of his squad arrive to rescue her, only for Grant to escape into the woods.
The police squad thus form a search party to track down Grant, in which Starla, a local hunter named Charlie and the town's mayor Jack MacReady get involved. During their hunt, Charlie gets killed by Grant, and the group chases Grant into a barn, in which they find a local woman called Brenda, whom Grant had infected earlier, and whose body has been inhumanly bloated from the larvae impregnated inside her. The group suddenly realize that Grant lured them to the barn as a trap, but before they can escape, Brenda bursts into a wave of slug-like larva, which infect nearly everyone in the barn (except for Starla, Bill, and MacReady), before the larva leave the barn and make their way towards town.
After the larva has left the barn, the non-infected survivors gather up the unconscious bodies of the officers and drag them outside. Bill, meanwhile, heads off to town to radio for help. Upon the deputies regaining consciousness, Starla discovers that those infected by the larvae become part of a hive mind controlled by Grant (with those infected obtaining Grant's personality in the process), who intends to consume all lifeforms until only his consciousness remains.
The infected officers all try to calmly tell Starla to "put that goddamn gun down", but when Hooper tries to grab her gun and control the situation, she gets sprayed in the face with acid vomit from the infected Carpenter, killing her. Starla then kills the infected Whale when he tries to threaten her, but, having run out of bullets, she flees alongside MacReady into the woods, and is pursued by Carpenter.
Death[]
Carpenter's death.
Whilst preparing to drive back to the barn, Bill sees Carpenter chasing Starla and MacReady. Bill quickly runs Carpenter over, knocking him down, and Starla finishes him off by stabbing him in the neck with a sign post.
