"We were aided by an unearthly fog that rolled in, as if Heaven sent, although God had no part in our actions tonight." – Father Malone

Why watch this? This is one film I cannot watch with the lights off.

Plot Summary: On the eve of its centennial, the small coastal California town of Antonio Bay becomes shrouded in a mysterious, glowing fog. This fog brings with it supernatural occurrences and the vengeful spirits of shipwrecked sailors seeking retribution for their deaths, which were caused by the town's founders a century earlier. As the fog rolls inland, a diverse group of residents, including a radio DJ, a priest, and a hitchhiker, must fight for their lives against the mist.

Dad's Preview: The idea of the vengeful undead rising to exact revenge on the ancestors of their betrayers is freaking wicked! And add some thick fog into the night's setting and you will be creeped out. Director John Carpenter made a great decision to not show the long-rotting pirates up close (well, he did once). This makes them that much more terrifying. Of course, the eerie mood is enhanced by Carpenter's self-crafted soundtrack.
