The Fog
When Antonio Bay, a Californian coastal town, is about to celebrate its centennial, paranormal activity starts to happen. It's said that the gold to build the city a hundred years ago was taken from shipwrecked lepers and now is time for them to revenge. A fog glowing from the sea gets bigger and thicker and moves to the land, bringing the revengeful sailor.

Released four years after the Bicentennial, 'The Fog' might be a jaundiced corrective to the often uncritical self-congratulation of America's birthday celebration, with the ghosts as manfestations of manifest destiny's bloody heritage.

Not much gore, but still too intense for kids.

Halloween brought classic genre style into a new era, and The Fog goes even further in that direction.
