Background: John Carpenter’s 1980 supernatural horror film The Fog centers on the coastal northern California town of Antonio Bay as it prepares to celebrate its centennial anniversary, only to be terrorized by an eerie, glowing fog rolling in from the sea that harbors the vengeful ghosts of shipwrecked mariners killed 100 years earlier. On the eve of the festivities, local priest Father Malone uncovers a hidden journal written by his grandfather revealing that in 1880, six of the town’s founding fathers intentionally lured the Elizabeth Dane onto the treacherous rocks—drowning a wealthy leper colony led by a man named Blake—and stole their gold to found Antonio Bay. A century later, the glowing-eyed specters return from the deep wielding hooks and cutlasses to claim six lives in retribution for the betrayal, forcing a small cast of survivors—including late-night radio DJ Stevie Wayne broadcasting from her isolated lighthouse, hitchhiker Elizabeth Solley, local resident Nick Castle, and event organizer Kathy Williams—to fight for survival as the suffocating mist traps them within the town.
