Great movie. I'm happy to add it to my collection.

This used to scare me as a kid. That opening sequence with John Houseman is just about as forbidding as one could get at that time. Of course horror movies are so much different now (over the top gore), but like the original Halloween, scary without a lot of slashing & gore. Scream/Shout Factory releases are awesome. They have done a great job with releasing quality Blu-rays of classic horror movies, and this one is no exception. I had a crappy DVD version for a long time so upgrading to HD was great. Granted the limited budget & production values, the Blu-ray quality is good. John Carpenter is 1 of my favorite directors, so this is just one of many of his movies that I've recently purchased.

My wife turned me on to this movie and I'm glad she did. It is full of both big-time actors/actresses as well and very good supporting A/A who do a bang-up job. The movie style is more classic cinema/film-noir for a suspense/horror movie. If you have to have modern style CGI and effects than please don't bother with this one. The character development is great and it makes me wonder why this movie isn't applauded more. Perhaps because it doesn't really break a lot of new ground even when it was released. Sometimes though I really am not looking for another Quentin Tarantino-esque movie. Even his stuff is old-hat now. Why not enjoy something that's well done and has Jamie Lee Curtis in it?

Love this move. Did pirate ghosts before the stupid Depp movies came out. John Carpenter, master of horror.

Awesome movie! I still jumped multiple times even though I‘ve seen the movie several times in the distant past. A good movie to watch for Halloween.

It was a stormy evening (quite literally) on Lake Huron in a small pop-up camper, relentlessly shaken by a vigorous autumnal wind, and I was a boy yet to the hit the "double digits". Being unable to play outside due to the torrential downpour that evening, my father had decided it would instead be a good idea to rent a movie and "stay in" for the evening. As such, we went out and drove a good 20 minutes to the closest strain of civilization - a gas station (yes, in those days you could rent movies just about anywhere, including gas stations) - to look at their tapes. After mulling over the somewhat slim selection for a few minutes, my father had decided to go with John Carpenter's The Fog for our cinematic venture that night and, as they say, the rest is history. Despite the fact that I am in my 30s now, I still actutely remember watching that movie on our tiny and portable TV, engrossed and horrified all at once while the film's length went on. By the end of it I was so awe-struck and terrified that I laid in my bed for at least a couple hours before falling asleep, imagining that every large gust of wind that shook our camper may very well have been Blake and his spectral caravan, and ardently hoping that wasn't the case. Many years have passed since that fateful night but The Fog's impact still remains with me to this day, for it was that very experience that planted the seed within my bosom that has since grown into a well-nourished and ever-blossoming love affair with horror. I guess it's safe to say there was something in the fog after all, no?

The original fog directed by John Carpenter is a great supernatural horror film. Not to be confused with the remake that makes it more of a love story. This movie has all the horror elements and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Be where of the fog!! Great atmospheric John Carpenter movie… Great musical score and it’s always lovely watching Jamie Lee Curtis ! This is a great ghost story told on one night

What can I say, it's the fog. This movie is built on suspense and I was so scares as a kid. It's still pretty creepy now. Good video quality.

We have the remake so we had to get this when we saw it at a great price ! A must for horror film collectors .Gotta love that young Jamie Lee.

The fog is a great movie it star's Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie lee curtis, Hal holbrook, Janet leigh, and Tom atkins don't get lost in the fog.

The fog was an instant classic. When I watched it as a kid I was intrigued and frightened at the same time.

Always been a big fan of this ghost story - which features a stellar cast. Blu-ray looks fantastic

Great movie (of course the book was better) so glad to finally add to our collection at a great price!

THE FOG, directed by John Carpenter, is an old-fashioned ghost story--good and creepy. I'm not really much of a horror movie fan, but I enjoyed this one. Loved the lighthouse!

Excellent movie that stands the test of time. Great movie for anyone who loves ghost stories.

Love this movie. Bought so I could watch it anytime I wanted to. Much better than the remake

I'm a huge John Carpenter fan and this is obe of his best fims which is based on a true story

I've been trying to track this movie down for a while. Found it here at an amazing price!
