Most of his stuff is very good to excellent but there is some true shite in there like Ghosts Of Mars.
Apparently John and Kurt remember The Thing as a comedy.
YouTube The Thing Commentary
Halloween
Escape from NY
The Thing
Those are the classics.
I always placed Big Trouble and They Live in the campy fun category.
Lots of other very good projects in there, though.

I can't limit it to 3. I was watching Prince Of Darkness last night but The Thing, Big Trouble In Little China, They Live, Escape From New York, Halloween, The Fog, Christine (where you get the extra benefit of it being a Stephen King story) are all classics and so good.I even like Village Of The Damned and it's not even one of his better movies.

I have to go with The Fog I guess. I think it’s actually still a little scary

Interesting enough concept, terrible execution.

How can you pick just 3? When Carpenter was in his prime, particularly when he was collaborating with Kurt Russell, he had an amazing run of success. Not only in terms of quality but he churned out a lot of good films in a relatively short period of time.

Honorable Mentions:
Big Trouble in Little China
In the Mouth of Madness
Controversial Opinion: They Live only has enough material for about an hour of content and is severely overrated as a complete work.
