A Northern California fishing town, built 100 years ago over an old leper colony, is the target for revenge by a killer fog containing zombie-like ghosts seeking revenge for their deaths.
Any other fans of this film, that John Carpenter calls "a little exploitation film that tries to serve up a moody inevitability and a few chill along the way"?

I haven't seen this film in so long, I can barely remember it.Looks like I'll have to do a Carpenter double bill of this and Assault on Precinct 13 or something.

The originals of both were far better than the remakes IMHO, especially Attack on Precinct 13

At a local theater they're actually doing double features of Carpenter (and he'll be there) and this is one of them!

Bonomo you're such a cock and I hate you! We never get cool stuff like that here. I saw The Wickerman last halloween which was cool but aside from that we don't get anything.

HEH! I had to put it up just to upset you!
Off topic: Going to the grindhouse on Tuesday to see Crocodile and Tinoterra. Two horrendously funny shitty movies.
Also, doing the second Grindhouse night at my apartment: Piranha and Alligator...that's how you start the summer!

I'm crashing at your place. You'll find me hiding in the next package of dvds I send.

Haha. I'm doing Grindhouse's bi-weekly now. We started with three people. This time we're having six or seven. I may need to take this someplace bigger. lol
