Fog, The

Carpenter can be heard on the analog commentary track (the other contains Carpenter’s musical score) discussing with producer Debra Hill the technical details of the production. Also on the disc are film and TV trailers, a collection of outtakes, and a presentation on the low-budget special effects.

Following director’s John Carpenter’s success with Halloween his next horror genre foray was The Fog, which stars Adrienne Barbeau and Jamie Lee Curtis, and includes Jamie Lee’s mother, Janet Leigh as well. This highly stylized film is about a haunted fog that terrorizes a California seaside town. When the clipper ship Elizabeth Dane sank off the coast of Antonio Bay, all aboard perished. But now, 100 years later, the crew seems to have returned to terrorize the town. And they are somewhat the worse for wear having been dead and under water that long.
