Brand new factory sealed flipper dvd special edition. All formats of this classic issue is Out Of Print (OOP). Once upon a time, on a dark and foggy night, a band of drowned mariners invaded a small California seaport seeking revenge on the wreckers who sent them to the bottom 100 years ago to the day... Carpenter begins his film on precisely this delightfully time-honoured note with a pre-credit sequence in which an old salt (John Houseman), holding up his watch to denote the witching hour, thrills a group of children round the campfire with the legend that tells how these dead men will return one day. As the credit sequence begins with the clocks chiming midnight, a series of strange happenings befall the town -- glass suddenly shatters, cans jitter about on supermarket shelves, lights come on in a deserted garage, a car hoist sets itself in motion, an unattended pump gushes gasoline -- all suggest an immanent supernatural invasion. As the sinister FOG envelopes the sleepy coastal town; within the swirling mist are maggot-decaying, red glowing eyed, soggy pirate zombies armed with spikes, hooks and other flesh-ripping weapons, seeking revenge on the descendants. With real life mom and daughter Janet Leigh ('Psycho') and Jamie Lee Curtis ('Halloween'), Tom Atkins, and Hal Holbrook as the town priest who discovers the original plot. Adrienne Barbeau (Carpenter's wife) plays the radio station DJ, who broadcasts from the birdseye view of the bay lighthouse, and issuses the first alert warnings over the air: "There is something in the fog, don't go into the fog!" Some nail-biting moments as with Jamie Lee Curtis sitting beside a shrouded corpse unaware that it is slowly reviving, is made almost risible by repeated cutaways -- will they or won't they enter the room in time? -- to the doctor and boyfriend talking just outside the room. Despite the old fashioned hype, the film is wonderfully atmospheric, and infamous horror film shooter Dean Cundey's camerawork is once again stunning given the difficult dark foggy setting.
