Fog, The

Fog, The

1980

While an old, weather-beaten fisherman tells a ghost story to fascinated children huddled by a campfire, a piece of driftwood in a child's hands begins to glow, and an eerie fog envelops the bay. From its midst emerges demonic victims of a century-old shipwreck seeking revenge on the small town. This horror classic from John Carpenter is packed with stars, including Jamie Lee Curtis and Janet Leigh.
