Viewing Notes
After a couple of awesome grindhouse trailer reels, came the main feature: The Fog (1980). Now this is the film I came to see! The 35mm print was super grainy and washed out but really it didn’t matter as it just added to the atmosphere. This was the main event film since Debra Hill co-wrote the flick w/Carpenter. Loved this film as a child so it was quite a treat to see projected. Still consider it one of my favorite horror films. Now if I could just get a blu-ray of this.
