The Fog	comment	The Fog is a 1980 American horror film directed by John Carpenter (his first big-screen feature following a certain other horror film, and like that one co-written with Debra Hill), starring Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis (and her mother, Janet Leigh), Hal Holbrook, Nancy Loomis, Charles Cyphers, John Houseman and others.The small coastal northern California town of Antonio Bay is about to celebrate its 100th anniversary. Among its denizens are Stevie Wayne (Barbeau), who runs her own radio station, and Kathy Williams (Leigh), who's in charge of the centennial celebrations. New in town is Elizabeth Solley (Curtis), an aspiring artist who has hitchhiked up from Santa Barbara. Everything seems peaceful enough in Antonio Bay, but on the night of the ceremony, a mysterious fog rolls in – and the fog wants victims...Remade in 2005 by director Rupert Wainwright, with Tom Welling, Maggie Grace and Selma Blair. The remake tries to create more connections between the characters and also tries to expand on a few plot points from the original.No relation to James Herbert's horror novel of the same name, or Stephen King's novella The Mist and its film adaptation.

The Fog / int_11278f19	comment	Plot-Triggering Book: An eerie fog rolls in from the ocean as the city of Antonio Bay prepares to celebrate its centennial. A part of the wall falls away in the church at midnight, revealing to Father Malone a diary that belonged to his late grandfather, which details a conspiracy to kill a group trying to start a leper colony nearby and steal their gold. At the climax, Father Malone learns from the journal that his grandfather, in a fit of guilt, stole the gold from his co-conspirators and buried it in the church walls so that no one would benefit from it.

When reading the journal, Father Malone says he couldn't read past the night where the six conspirators murdered Blake's crew. Had he read on, he'd discover that the gold the ghosts are after is hidden in the church walls.

This, of course, leaves them dealing with the same Awful Truth as Father Malone. Subverting the Red Herring from the original, Elizabeth Williams, who was a drifter that came to Antonio Bay just before the Fog Zombies attacked and just happened to have the same name as their ship here, she is the reincarnation of Blake's love.

Also subverted with Elizabeth. She's initially in justified hysterics when a corpse falls on her and it then appears to come back to life to carve a threatening message into the floor. But when the fog causes more trouble, she drives the car to the church, helps fortify the windows and keeps Andy safe.

Later the audience learns that many years earlier six conspirators met from midnight to 1:00 a.m. to plot a mass murder.

Each of them has a connection to another protagonist: Al is the husband of Kathy Williams, Dick is a friend of Nick's (and searches the boat for him), and Tommy's brother plays in Little League with Andy.

Malone, realizing he'd been a dick to Bennett, was trying to call him back, presumably to apologize when the stone fell, revealing the hidden journal. Now, having just read about his Grandfather's sins, one might assume that Father Malone might be eager to avoid them, and pay Bennett for his services promptly when he returned. However, we never do see Bennett return, despite several scenes taking place at the church the next day. Did he simply decide not to show up, believing he'd never be paid for his work? Or was he paid by a contrite Father Malone off-screen?

Malone is an Irish – and presumably Catholic – name, and Catholic priests typically don't have children. There are Irish Protestants of course, but most of them have ministers, rather than priests. A Catholic man can also become a priest after being widowed, so it is technically possible for his grandfather to have been a priest, but it's more likely that John Carpenter and/or Debra Hill just hoped nobody would notice. The family may have been Catholic originally and chosen to convert but his descendants became Catholic again, had children out of wedlock or left the priesthood after the events of the wrecking.

Justified, since his rescuers, Nick and Elizabeth, have no idea who she is, and have more pressing matters to deal with, like avoiding being killed by the ghosts. Otherwise averted, since Nick’s motivation is finding out what happened to his friends on the Seagrass, and Stevie is appropriately horrified and saddened when she heard Dan being killed over the phone. Double subverted when it comes to Kathy's husband Al. After finding out he's dead, she's clearly devastated, but chooses to put on a brave face for the sake of the festival. He doesn't get mentioned after that again. They do admittedly say they haven't found him yet, so she may still be imagining that he's just missing.

There are Cthulhu Mythos references in the place names "Arkham Reef" and "Whateley Reef". The overall story is reminiscent of "The Night Wire", albeit with the news-wire Framing Device updated to a radio show. Nick Castle is named for the regular Carpenter collaborator who played Michael Myers in Halloween (1978). The town of Bodega Bay, famous as the setting of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, is mentioned. Stevie's message to "look for the fog" through the radio is a reference to the final scene in The Thing from Another World, where the reporter character grabs the radio and tells the world to "watch the skies" for extra-terrestrials. Elizabeth (Jamie Lee Curtis) comments that weird things always happen to her, that she seems to attract them and seems incredibly reluctant to talk about her past. It has been the subject of much fervent speculation that she is actually Laurie Strode from the Halloween films trying to put her history behind her.

Even when more of Blake can be made out at the very end, the only really discernible thing about him are his stringy hair and Glowing Eyelights of Undeath.

The Fog / int_e13156e1	type	Mama Bear
The Fog / int_e13156e1	comment	Mama Bear: Stevie tries anyway. When she sees the fog heading towards her house, she desperately screams into her radio for someone to rescue Andy. But she also defies this in a way; on the radio she apologises to Andy for not coming herself, because she needs to warn the rest of the town.

The Fog / int_edd34386	type	Glowing Eyelights of Undeath
The Fog / int_edd34386	comment	Blake and the ghosts are never fully shown onscreen and are always shrouded in too much fog and shadow make out anything other than a dark silhouette. When Stevie is cornered on the top of the lighthouse by one, she gets a glimpse of its face, and what little we see of its cheek is puke green and riddled with worms. Even when more of Blake can be made out at the very end, the only really discernible thing about him are his stringy hair and Glowing Eyelights of Undeath.

The Fog / int_fe1d3a6b	comment	Kill the Lights: During the attack on the weather station, the ghost fog (or the zombies) cut the building's power supply, causing the man inside to open the door and get killed. Later on the ghost fog enters the town's main generator and shorts it out, cutting off power to the entire area.
