The first of a fall series on the films of John Carpenter, The Fog is a seaside, small-town ghost story with all the spooky touches from the horror master.

Atmospheric and with a swirling score (composed by Carpenter himself), the film is yet another cult classic in the John Carpenter canon.

When Antonio Bay hits the 100th anniversary of a shipwreck, strange events occur across town, residents begin to die or disappear, and the secrets behind the nautical disaster come to light.

Can the people of Antonio Bay solve the mystery and stay alive as the cursed fog, concealing red-eyed revenants out for revenge, sweeps over the town?

Join me for a discussion on what makes The Fog a fun watch and its lasting legacy.

The Fog stars Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis, John Houseman, Janet Leigh, and Hal Holbrook.
