A ghost that appears from the fog - "The Fog"



A non-human who emerges from the fog. John Carpenter's ``The Fog'' (1980) was a movie that took this idea and turned it into a movie. At the time, Carpenter had just achieved great success with `` Halloween '' (1978), which became a hugely popular horror series that continues to this day. After the TV movie ` `The Singer '' (1979), Carpenter returned to horror films and directed the movie ``Deep Fog''. It depicts the battle between the ghosts that appear from within and the people of the village.


The setting is Antonio Bay, a small port town in California. An incident occurs in this place, which is buzzing with excitement due to the town's 100th anniversary celebration. An eerie fog of unknown origin covers the town, and people are killed one after another. It's the work of terrifying killers that emerge from the fog. But what's scarier than the murderer himself is the way the fog attacks people like poisonous gas. It slowly approached without a sound, and by the time it appeared in front of me, it was already too late. Even if the door is closed, the mist will slowly seep in through even the slightest crack, blocking any escape route.

DJ Stevie, a single mother who works at a radio station in a lighthouse, continues her desperate battle against the fog/murderer. The character is played by Adrienne Barbeau, who was married to Carpenter at the time. Jamie Lee Curtis plays Elizabeth, a hitchhiker who comes to town. Jamie Lee Curtis, who recently won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for ``Everything Everywhere All at Once' ' (22), became a popular actor in Carpenter's `` Halloween '' and starred in its sequel `` Boogeyman '' ( 81, directed by Rick Rosenthal). While being attacked by mysterious Monster, he mutters, ``Strange things always seem to happen where I'm around,'' a warning to fans of `` Halloween .'' The film also featured Curtis co-starring with his mother, Janet Leigh, for the first time.
