Philmchology w/Brenda B: John Carpenter's The Fog (1980)

Remember Antonio Bay of the coast of Oregon?  How about Stevie Wayne from KAB radio?  Remember the first time you actually realized The Fog could actually be creepy, frightening and fatal?  Thanks to the Brilliance of John Carpenter and Debra Hill you just may not look Fog the same. The first time I saw it in the theaters, my friend and I exited the theater only to find a heavy fog had settled into South King County, Washington where I attended high school.  When she dropped me off as we were saying our goodbyes outside halfway between her car and my front door we heard a strange noise from something hidden in "pea soup" fog that night.  We grabbed each other as if embracing could somehow protect us.  In later years we laughed about it, but it sure went a long way to the mystic and ambiance of the movie that night.

Join the discussion about the things that go bump in the fog and why simple weather events can instill so much fear.  John Carpenter was a master at creating fearful tension with every day situations, but there are also relationship issues in the film that will be fun to discuss as well.  See you there on Philmchology just beware!
