The Fog

John Carpenter19801h 29mThriller, Horror

Why we chose it

Carpenter (“The Thing”) thought his finished film was terrible and reshot a third of it, and it became a horror classic with scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis. A century ago a small town did something the sea has come back to settle, and the fog takes its time, which is the worst thing it could do.

Synopsis

On the beach, children huddle round a campfire as an old fisherman tells them about a ship that went down a hundred years ago and what became of the people on board. A piece of driftwood washed up by the sea starts to glow in a child’s hand, and out over the bay the fog is coming in.
