I saw "THE FOG" when it first came out. It was winter and when I left the theater I had that "I just saw a REALLY scary movie" feeling. I've always associated the film with winter ever since like I would a scary ride at the fair...in the winter. I'm pleased that the DVD is fine and I really like the old trailers....they remind me of seeing them for the first time and me thinking "I'm gonna see THAT". Well, "THE FOG" no longer deserves it's "R" rating, but it remains intact as one of Carpenter's best films. You couldn't put a cast like that together today! And I had forgotten how nice the cinematography was...those shots of "Antonio Bay" are really good. And best of all, it has kept (for me) that shivery winter feeling. Like I want to pull my jacket just a little closer...it's cold...and there's a fog up ahead...
