Welcome back to Retro Life 4 You, the podcast that takes you back to the creepiest, campiest, and most iconic movies of the 80’s! I’m Chris Adams, and tonight, we’re setting sail for one of the most atmospheric horrors of the decade. That’s right—grab your flashlights and prepare for some seriously eerie vibes because we’re talking about John Carpenter’s The Fog!
Released in 1980, The Fog is a ghost story like no other. A mysterious mist rolls into a sleepy coastal town, bringing with it vengeful spirits from a long-buried secret. Ghostly sailors, hooks, swords, and a thick, glowing fog—Carpenter delivers an old-school ghost tale with his signature tension and style. It’s equal parts creepy and classic Carpenter atmosphere.
From the haunting score to the chilling visuals, we’ll be breaking down all the moments that make The Fog a cult classic. We’ll dive into the story of Antonio Bay, the ghostly vengeance lurking within the mist, and why this movie still sends shivers down your spine. Plus, we’ll talk about the killer cast, including scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, Adrienne Barbeau as the radio DJ with a perfect voice for horror, and a little town’s darkest secret.
So, lock your doors, keep an eye on that strange weather rolling in, and join us as we explore the ghostly fog that changed everything. It’s time to unravel the mystery of The Fog!
