She and her harried assistant (Nancy Loomis, also from Halloween ) have too much to do than to be bothered by some old ghost stories.Īnd throughout it all, the town’s local DJ, Stevie (Adrienne Barbeau, Escape From New York, Creepshow ) serves up a sweet selection of smooth jazz tracks to keep folks company during the night. A councilwoman, played by Janet Leigh- Jamie Lee Curtis’s real-life mother- has planned a ceremony with speeches, a candlelight stroll and an unveiling of a commemorative statue. San Antonio’s leadership doesn’t have time for any of this, however, as they are busy preparing for the 100th anniversary of the town’s founding. But as more and more “odd happenstances” begin to occur, the two come to believe that there’s more going on than reason allows.

When the windows of his truck suddenly shatter, they’re able to dismiss it as an odd happenstance. Behind the fallen masonry, Malone finds an old journal that might hold the keys to the horrors that are to come.Įlsewhere, Nick Castle (Tom Atkins) picks up a young hitchhiker, Elizabeth (Jamie Lee Curtis, fresh off of working with Carpenter on Halloween ).

As the anniversary of the wreck approaches, a series of strange events sweep over the town. Set in the fictional North California town of Antonio Bay, John Carpenter’s The Fog tells of the night that the fog does return, and the unsuspecting townsfolk find that old ghost stories have more truth to them than anyone could suspect.

It’s an atmospheric beginning that perfectly sets the tone for the movie that follows. When the fog arises again, the dead will walk the earth, seeking revenge. The ship mistakes a campfire, much like the one the group sits at now, for a lighthouse, and that mistake costs everyone on the ship their lives. The story he tells is of a sailing ship transporting lepers to a new colony, on a foggy night, exactly one hundred years ago.

He informs them that it is exactly five minutes to midnight, and they have time for just one more story. John Houseman ( The Paper Chase ) sits at a campfire with a group of schoolchildren. The Fog begins, appropriately, with a ghost story. A Creepy and Atmospheric Tale That Winds Up as Murky as it Namesake.
