Antonio Bay, California has turned a hundred years old and is getting ready to celebrate it's centennial year. As the residents of the small, quiant harbour town begin to celebrate, an eerie fog envelopes the shore and from it's midst emerge dripping, demonic spectres, victims of a century old shipwreck... seeking revenge. This classic 1980 horror starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Adrienne Barbeau, Tom Atkins and Janet Leigh, The Fog is a tense and ghoulish tale that confirmed John Carpenter as a master of terror.
