probably the most relaxing horror movie ever. a coastal town is slowly engulfed by a mysterious and potentially murderous fog between midnight and 1 am... the fog's movements are tracked and relayed to the entire town by a radio show host who runs her show from the town's lighthouse. 'this is steve wayne, your nightlight, around until about one o'clock...'.
this movie made me seriously want to buy a small lighthouse someday and host a radio show from there from midnight until one. idk, maybe i can start from my room and just imagine the sea while accepting listener submissions and hearing whatever people have to say to the world at midnight. i love john carpenter.
