Unknown fear

1980 Carpenter's "Night Mist Murder" is a classic ghost revenge story.
In a beautiful and peaceful town, residents are carefully preparing to celebrate the town’s centennial. However, starting from the early morning of this day, a series of unimaginable and strange incidents have occurred in the town, and then the town was enveloped by a sudden and strange thick fog. Everywhere there was a tragic death of residents, it seemed that they were hiding in the thick fog. What a terrible thing.

To extend the length of the film, director John Carpenter specially filmed a scene where the old sailor told the children about the legend of Blake in...
