Many John Carpenter movies tend to have certain timeless / archetypal feel to them. Halloween definitely was going towards that kind of thing intentionally - Michael being portrayed as evil incarnate and the boogeyman instead of just some guy who kills people, like most slasher movie maniacs that were to follow.
Escape from New York has always had strong mythical feel it too, like something out of Greek legends. Assault on Precinct 13 was an archetypal western story and a prelude to Halloween in many ways. Prince of Darkness was very conscious about it to a point of even directly referencing Ridley Scott's Legend, which wasn't even well-liked at that time.
