Refreshingly, their love scene does not lead to a slash-gore scene—it is the apparently respectable citizens of Antonio Bay that are being targeted by a host of vengeful ghosts. The couple drives around in their pick-up truck and rescue those they can, but in turn, are inexorably driven by the fog towards the church. The small town of Antonio Bay prepares for its centenary celebrations while a series of eerie poltergeist activities—and the spooky fog—began to manifest.
The local priest Father Malone Hal Holbrook is shocked when a brick catapults from the wall of his study at the church to reveal a secret cache: the diary of his grandfather.
This confesses a terrible crime. Rob Bottin worked on the special effects for Blake, the ghost captain, and his ghostly leper crew. He played Blake himself—at six foot five he was impressive enough for the part! It's easy to see, though, why this project must have been appealing to Carpenter, a talented year-old film maker who built a cult audience with the low-budget genre films "Dark Star" and " Assault on Precinct 13 " before breaking through to enormous ratings with the made-for-TV "Elvis.
It introduces a few of its inhabitants, especially isolated women. It establishes a threat. And then the rest of the movie is devoted to scenes in which the threat either does or does not destroy its intended victims.
Very simple. The threat need not even be believable; "Halloween's" psychotic killer, wrapped in sheets and apparently invulnerable, just kept on coming while a platoon of baby-sitters bit the dust. But "Halloween's" killer was a person, and had at least a bit of personal background we saw a traumatic scene from his childhood and heard a psychiatrist describe him as evil incarnate.
The narrative background in "The Fog" is presented stylishly - John Houseman of " The Paper Chase " tells a ghost story around a campfire on the beach, little kids listen with their mouths hanging open, we learn that shipwrecked sailors were murdered near this town a century ago, and that they vowed to return years later. And, of course, tonight's the night. But when the sailors' ghosts return, wrapped in fog, we can't figure out what their motives are.
Do they want to kill the descendants of their murderers? John F. Regina Waldon Mrs. Kobritz as Mrs. Jim Haynie Dockmaster as Dockmaster. Darrow Igus Mel as Mel. Fred Franklyn Ashcroft as Ashcroft. John Carpenter. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Against the backdrop of spine-chilling stories of drowned mariners and a year-old shipwreck lying on the bottom of the sea, the peaceful community of the coastal town of Antonio Bay, California is making preparations to celebrate its centennial.
However--as strange supernatural occurrences blemish the festivities--an impenetrable opaque mist starts to shroud the seaside village, leading to unaccountable disappearances and the spilling of warm bright-red blood. One long century ago, a hideous crime was committed by the town's elders.
Now, the restless dead have returned for revenge, demanding justice. Is there something evil lurking in the fog? John Carpenter's tale of vengeance beyond the grave Did you know Edit. Trivia Although this was essentially a low budget independent movie, John Carpenter chose to shoot the movie in anamorphic widescreen Panavision.
This decision gave the movie a grander feel for the viewer so this didn't seem like a low budget horror movie. Goofs In a few scenes, Dan the local weatherman is tracking the fog bank on his weather radar, and giving reports. Weather radars have never been able to detect fog.
