    The historical legend of the town residents working together to strangle a leper is actually in perfect harmony with the current talk about WH's discoloration. The carpenter's synth soundtrack remains the finishing...

    It's just that the special effects are a bit scum, and it's okay not to reveal the real body. When it is exposed, it feels like a Halloween puppet. But this overwhelming murderous fog can create an atmosphere...

    (6.5/10) The reason why Carpenter is a master of B-movie films is that his works do not pursue unsustainable pleasure, but explore the source of horror. For example, in "Murder in the Fog", the horror discussed by Carpenter comes from reflection on...

The Fog quotes

  • Mr. Machen: 11:55, almost midnight. Enough time for one more story. One more story before 12:00, just to keep us warm. In five minutes, it will be the 21st of April. One hundred years ago on the 21st of April, out in the waters around Spivey Point, a small clipper ship drew toward land. Suddenly, out of the night, the fog rolled in. For a moment, they could see nothing, not a foot in front of them. Then, they saw a light. By God, it was a fire burning on the shore, strong enough to penetrate the swirling mist. They steered a course toward the light. But it was a campfire, like this one. The ship crashed against the rocks, the hull sheared in two, masts snapped like a twig. The wreckage sank, with all the men aboard. At the bottom of the sea, lay the Elizabeth Dane, with her crew, their lungs filled with salt water, their eyes open, staring to the darkness. And above, as suddenly as it come, the fog lifted, receded back across the ocean and never came again. But it is told by the fishermen, and their fathers and grandfathers, that when the fog returns to Antonio Bay, the men at the bottom of the sea, out in the water by Spivey Point will rise up and search for the campfire that led them to their dark, icy death.

    [bells ring distantly]

    Mr. Machen: 12:00, the 21st of April.

  • [the pathologist, Dr. Phibes, has just examined the body of Dick Baxter]

    Dr. Phibes: What the hell happened out there?

    Nick Castle: There was rust all over everything. It was like the boat had been out there a long time, taking on water. He was down below, near the bunks.

    Dr. Phibes: Nick, his wounds are covered with algae, his lungs are full, and there's silt under his fingernails. I tell ya, I saw Dick Baxter three days ago in Salinas. Now he's lying there on the table looking like he's been underwater for a month!
