  This is absolutely my favorite John Carpenter movie, hugely underrated

  as a 10-11 year old in the early 80s', this movie was nightmare fuel for me. Anytime I would see a glowing light under my bedroom door at night, I thought the FOG ghosts were coming to get me.

  The guy playing "Bennett," the church caretaker, is none other than director John Carpenter himself in a cameo role. His character's name is "Bennett Tramer," after the character in Halloween that Laurie Strode confessed to having a crush on.

  I feel that this was so much better than the 2005 remake.

  One of if not the best opening scenes in cinematic history for a horror movie and  the music is also well done.  An all time horror classic.

  That scene where Father Malone appears out of the darkness didn't just scare your wife, Mr. TBR Schmitt. When Janet Leigh's character cries out, "Jesus!" she wasn't acting. Hal Holbrook scared the hell out of her in that scene. 😂

  Total respect for your appreciation of older films and especially for how you don&apos;t focus on the &quot;outdated&quot; special effects. &nbsp;👍👍<br><br>Too many film reactors love to pick apart the visual effects in older films, which is quite annoying. &nbsp;They should be more like you two and enjoy the films!

  John Carpenter and his then-girlfriend and filmmaking partner Debra Hill were coming off the huge success of Halloween and wanted to go in a different direction for their next film, more of a traditional ghost story. They came up with the idea of The Fog when they were in England in 1976 promoting Carpenter&apos;s previous film, Assault on Precinct 13. They were visiting Stonehenge and they both saw an eerie looking fog that seemed to glow from the inside, and they both wondered what could be inside it. They drew inspiration from the old E.C. horror comics like Tales From the Crypt, where ghosts and the undead would often return to exact revenge for some past injustice.

  I love how this is a genuine horror movie with the “pirate ghosts” we all know and love from Scooby-Doo.

  I love how Samantha refers to John Carpenter as &quot;the kid&quot;. &nbsp;John Carpenter came out of the womb looking 70, lol.
