Who here has always fantasised about owning a lighthouse radio station? What a great job to have. Playing tunes and looking out across the sea in solitude. Yes please!
The Fog is still one of Carpenter's most atmospheric and genuinely classic horror film. The opening will never be beat. An old salty sailor telling a story by the campfire about a classic seafaring legend.
The opening is EXACTLY the perfect example why Carpenter movies are so awesome! he distills down everything to it's core, so it can be done any better! This opening rocks and a lot of the other scenes also! Great movie! One of the best!
It's a movie I was kind of "meh" about when it was released but upon a recent re-watch, I've come to adore this movie. It has great pacing, atmosphere, dread and story. My hope is I can find a cut of the movie before the rewrites that made it what it is today simply to see how the original concept played out. Still, it's amazing how many reshoots there were and how it turned something the director disliked into what is now a cult classic.
I met Adrienne Barbeau last year at a horror convention and she was so nice to my son and I. Talked a while, took pics, thanked us for coming. It was cool
@@erikdiaz142 more than fair, hun; if everyone in the world all loved the exact same things, in the exact same way, oh my days what an incredibly _boring_ world this would be! Don’t sweat it, *_'The Thing'_* is most people’s favourite *John Carpenter* movie, in my experience, usually closely followed by *_'Escape from New York'_* 😊
He got me into the horror genre as a kid I saw Halloween and the concept, story, mask, music I was in complete awe and obsessed before the movie even ended
There's just something about the ambiance and mood of late 70s/early 80s horror films. The cars, the wardrobe, the music, the cheap scares, and many of them feature masked or mostly unseen killers. Great stuff.
@@garysellars8914 😀Absolutely agree Salem's Lot 1979 🎥 is the scariest horror film ever made but there are people out there who feel The Exorcist is number 1 scariest.
I watched this movie at a friend's house at her insistence. It scared the bejesus out of me! I was so jumpy driving home late that night! I'll never forget this movie! LOL!!
Thanks for taking us on this fabulous tour of "The Fog's" shooting locations. I absolutely adore John Carpenter's work, and especially "The Fog". I've actually explored all of these otherworldly locations around Point Reyes myself, and it was wonderful to see you capture and annotate them on video in such an engaging way. You guys rock! Horror cinema fans such as myself should consider ourselves fortunate to have documentary filmmakers such as yourselves producing such rich and engrossing content on our favourite motion pictures. You seem to have the rare gift of striking all the right notes of dark wonder that make this genre so very special.
I absolutely love this visit to the Fog locations- whenever we head to Pt Reyes we are searching out these locations and have pics of the house on the water!
This is so neat!! I met Adrienne Barbeau and Tom Atkins about 3 years ago. It was so neat to hear their stories of filming. But, the locations really put you there. The Fog was always one of my family's favorite horror movies. So thank you for sharing!!😄
Only time I was in LA was in 1980. When there we went to Grumman's (I believe). A theatre anyway. We saw the "The Fog". When we left the theater there was a thick fog in the area, like I've never seen. Will never forget.
When I was 12 years old, my friend and I were watching the Fog at home, at night, on VHS. All of a sudden there were 3 loud knocks on the front door (just like the movie) and it scared the holy hell out of us! We both hid in a closet until the knocking continued and we heard a voice say "Police, please open the door!" I slowly opened the door and it turned out that the cops were raiding the house next door and they were just there to warn us not to go outside until things calmed down.... I seriously thought I peed myself when that knock happened though. Fun times!
Great documentary, never saw the movie 🎥 it before my time. I plan to go to Point Reyes Lighthouse, I live in the Los Angeles area and familiar with Sierra Madre community. Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed the Big Sur trip. Was on a trip 2.5 weeks ago, and completed the highest point of my Bucket List, by visiting the McWay Falls Beach ⛱. Glad to have found. The Doors were Awesome, and the Historical relevance is phenomenal. Didn't know of the location where Jim Morrison and his wife met, nor did know he wrote the song dedicated to the event of when they met. Awesome lineup of movie 🎥 to documentary and Historical locations. I would not have known, and that cross I have passed it a couple of times in my life Thanks for pointing out it's relevance. ⛰🏞⛰🙋👍🕍🏖⚓⛵🏝
John Carpenter, along with George A Romero, were absolute masters of the Horror genre.Halloween,The Fog and the Thing were classics.He also scored the music for his movies.A master of making you JUMP, when you didn’t expect it.Loved his movies👍🤟💀
Thanks for doing this video. The Fog is an awesome movie that is very underrated. Neat seeing these places what they looked like back then and now. That view from the light house is amazing. Over 300 steps, might be ok going down but not much fun coming back up, 😁.
Great Job!!! I have seen a few sites covering the filming locations on THE FOG, but you actually go into detail on each major site seen in the movie, and love your then and now comparison shots. John Carpenter once owned a house up there in Point Reyes because of it's natural beauty. Jessica was brave to go out onto those rocks in that wind, kudos to her. Keep up the good work, and look forward to your next adventure.
good job man!... i love watching the lined up shots, i know its some work for you!... but hey!.. when one loves their job.. they never work a day of their life!
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Being a Norcal girl I love all of these locations. My podcast series is based on the Northern California coastline and often times I think of scenes in The Fog when writing a story. Can't wait to see you on Creature Features this weekend. Thanks for a great video on a totally cool movie.
The kid that found the coin/piece of wood on the beach, is the same kid in "Halloween II", the one who had the razor blade in his mouth. Just thought I'd mention. Great video you did here. I Love Carpenter's films and "The Fog" is in my top three. 👍
Wow, this is fantastic!.. seriously brilliant video guys. Much love from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪.. amazing to see these locations from a film that terrified me as a child, and locations that I’ll most likely never see in person 🙏☘️☘️☘️
OMG. NO. NO. NO. NO. I cannot believe this. I watched one of your recent videos the other day. As I was watching it, I was thinking to myself, I so wish and hope they do a video of the movie locations for THE FOG (the John Carpenter film..not the remake). I was going to put a comment suggesting you to do a video if ever you could in the future. I love the movie The Fog, and the locations. I just now check TH-cam and see a video for The Fog, and notice IT IS YOUR CHANNEL NAME. OMG. I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. I have not yet watched the video, but I wanted to comment asap. I cannot wait to watch the video. I so very much want to visit The Fog locations. You made my day. THANK YOU.
Your excitement makes what we do completely worth it. We have a lot of locations to tackle on a list and going for the ones closest first but really because we’re excited to go there too and to take you guys there. It means a lot to us to see you have the same love and passion for these places like we do. Much love and ghost hugs. 🎃🖤
John Carpenter was on a roll in 1980 after his dark horse 1978 hit horror low-budget flick, the iconic, "Halloween". Here came the atmospheric, creepy, "The Fog". It was one of Carpenter's best horror films. Another congrats out to Grimm for taking us horror film fans on an interactive tour to film locations of our favorite, classic horror flicks of the past forty years.
Fantastic movie,and thank you so much for the location shots,where the lighthouse is, its just stunning,I live in the UK and know I will never get there myself so thanks for your hard work 👍happy Halloween 🎃💀🎃💀
The opening shot of the beach being pounded by waves always looks the same every time i see it. strange how 40 years later it hasn't changed at all even though the beach is constantly pounded by waves and wind. So cool.
You guys do a great job. I love all the videos. You guys are lucky doing what you love, and sharing it with us makes us lucky to watch Peace Out. I can't wait for more video locations!
Your channel has gotten so much better in the last few weeks!! Why you don’t have a show on a major network is beyond me. Love the channel keep up the excellent work.
It always cracked me up how Carpenter peppered Lovecraft references into The Fog when it's so clearly on the opposite coast. He's a great guy and one of my all-time favorite directors and storytellers. Great vid!
As a movie buff I'm always on the lookout for great "then and now" film location vids. I have to say yours have been some of the best and I really appreciate the effort that goes into producing them. Also the addition of historical tid bits is really fascinating too. As I'm in Australia I really enjoy finding the locations via Google Earth when you have adequately described their locations (mind you 887 White Beach Lane has defeated me though). Can I also say your assistant is really cute and adds a certain style to your productions!. I look forward to seeing more filming locations in future.
Thank you so much Aussie Joe, this means the world to us. 887 White Beach Lane is the fictional address is the movie. Stevie Wayne is calling out her address over the air so someone can go and save her son.
I was out in SF in June '19 and drove up to Inverness and Reyes Natuonal Forest. And yeah, I drove up the road to find out the church was completely different (I met a lady who didn't seem to be too pleased with me being there)
The Fog has it flaws but its a favorite film of mine. I'm amazed too that cross is still there 5:15 I drove by the house 7:30 about 20 years ago and it was really cool to see. Went to the lighthouse. It is windy there! Thanks for doing this.
I watched The Fog for the first time last week because I wanted to watch this location video. It restored some love for films, it's so good! I'm getting a little tired of buying films and turning them off because they are garbage. So nice to see an amazing film that I've not seen before. Thank you!!
I love The Fog. It has to be the most atmospheric horror film of the 80s. You did a great job and lined up some of those shots really accurately to compare with the movie!
Great vid. John had a knack for "creep factor" in a movie. Anyone else would've turned it into a forgettable B horror movie, but John made a memorable gem out of it. On my first visit to California, the first thing that struck me is the eclectic feel of the place. The fauna and flora, homes, streets, buildings. It's all very unique. I love all the color and lushness. So much history too. It's no wonder celebrities make it home.
Really enjoyed this amazing video, as I'm a big The Fog fan. I first saw the film when I was around age 10 or 11, my brother aged around 8 or so, and we ended up watching it on TV, probably in 1985 time or thereabouts. I ended up being scared stiff and to this day, my mum says that she doesn't know how we ended up watching it, as she must have been in the other room that night😄..she'd be getting peace for a while, while we were being scared witless in the livingroom🙈. It now remains one of my all time favourite horror movies ! Brilliant seeing the locations again as have seen other videos on them, but really enjoyed this one. Thank you for making this so informative, well explained and fun ! 😃
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I like how John Carpenter said he fell in love with the area during filming and lived here for a number of years. Definitely pick up the special edition DVD of the Fog with all the extra videos, don't forget the pier/harbor at Bodega Bay where they filmed as well. Glad to see how many buildings have survived after all these years. 😊
Around 1990 my wife, son, brother and cousin and their wives rented the house on stilts over the water, the same house in the movie. We rented it for a weekend. My young son (age 11 then) slept in the bedroom that was attacked by one of the pirate ghosts, who in the movie clawed at the door with his hook hand. The owner of the house had a copy of the movie for renters to view if they wished. We visited the lighthouse too, which at that time was closely approachable. My only other very small connection to the film is through Adrienne Barbeau. A friend of mine from my Toastmasters chapter, was in her high school class at Del Mar High in San Jose. He remembered that when Adrienne sat down at a table there was always the question of whether to put “them” on top of the table or stow them underneath.
Greetings from Germany! I watched the movie again yesterday and, like John Carpenter, it's one of my favorite horror films. Seeing what the original locations are really like and where they are was really impressive. The cemetery also gave me goose bumps, despite the daylight. Thank you both very much for the trip! Greetings again from Germany (Berlin) and don't forget to "stay away from the fog!" 💀💀💀💀
What a surprise seeing your post for this video on Facebook today, after only watching this movie a week ago. My all-time favourite horror movie, thank you so much, I'm so jealous lol
Great job you two! Gorgeous locations! John Carpenter is the man! He is a total game changer of film making and film soundtracks. The Fog is a Classic. I try to watch it every year on the 21st of April!
I am loving your videos, you guys need to come to Wales UK, so many filming locations here, also I work in a 17th century house called Tredegar House that was often visited by the great beast Alistair Crowley who performed rituals in our cellar, in a magik room, Jessica always looks awesome BTW, I love her style 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Great vid on The Fog! I've been binging on Grimmlifecollective vids since subbing. You're a darn good & entertaining "horror reporter!" Hope one day you're able to do an expose here in New Hampshire on Barney and Betty Hill who claimed they were abducted by extraterrestrials.
Hi , your editing and directing is the best ive seen in these type of , location , vlogs !! And beleive me i watch alot !! Really think you should be picked up for you directing and cinematography. ..well done , excellent ❤
I first saw this film in the 90's I was around 12, it scared the living daylights out of me. Watched it many times since, but I don't sleep with the light on.
I loved this movie!!! One of my absolute favorites...Couldn't wait to see your video on it. You guys have done an excellent job as always with all your videos..Thank you so very much for all that you do, and bringing these places to life for those of us who won't get the chance to go see them..You guys ROCK!!
So creepily ironic, in your shot of the Morrison house with the sign Love Street, the sign "Dead End" is directly below and behind it. Also, when at the brick wall with the loose brick, the words on the wall read "no barking" instead of no parking. Hilarious. Awesome video! Grimmlifers Rule Baby! Happy Halloween indeed!
The Fog! A great 80's classic. Glad Debra Hill this to John Carpenter. The two that gave us Halloween. Jamie Lee Curtis and her mother Janet Leigh. Norman Bates and Michael Myers leading ladies.
My son, Derich, works at Amoeba Records in LA and just sent a picture of himself and John Carpenter taken this week at the store. Derich has adored Carpenter (and Cronenberg) since he was 5 years old. His grade school would call me all the time because he kept reading Fangoria magazine during class.
Awesome video, one of my favorite all time horror movies from John Carpenter. Thanks for taking me down memory lane of now a classic horror movie we watch every year especially in October. 🧟♂️✌
I never even watched the remake. I was intrigued when I heard that Carpenter was executive producer of it, then I heard the unanimously negative reviews, it then became clear that Carpenter was pretty much only involved in name only, and the fact that the trailer even looked terrible, and I was like "Nah."
.... and i absolutely love all your vids. im glad to see other ppl who see the beauty of the darker side of life. i really hope your channel blows up big time. mad respect!
More beach locations!☀🌊 ❤ it!! The lighthouse location is so cool. I would have stood there all day taking pictures and enjoying the views. Safe travels. Happy Halloween! 🎃
Who here has always fantasised about owning a lighthouse radio station? What a great job to have. Playing tunes and looking out across the sea in solitude. Yes please!
All sounds great until you see Fog rolling in.
Sounds like heaven to me
@@loulou7963 I agree with you lou lou
Longs as I got my books my colouring books and puzzles and my dogs and children it be heaven 💕
I would love that too.. If it gets foggy ill just play the titel melodi for "THE fog" 😄😉😱to calm My listeners
The Fog is still one of Carpenter's most atmospheric and genuinely classic horror film. The opening will never be beat. An old salty sailor telling a story by the campfire about a classic seafaring legend.

Thanks my friend for these views. John Carpenter is the best director ever. Take care and will the fog be with you.
Imma say it, without irony or hesitation; _'The Fog' (1980)_ is, by far, my all-time favourite *John Carpenter* movie, of all time! 🖤🖤🖤
Agreed
With you on that one. 👍 😊
well I'm almost there with you on this one, but I do have to say mine is The Thing!
@@erikdiaz142 more than fair, hun; if everyone in the world all loved the exact same things, in the exact same way, oh my days what an incredibly _boring_ world this would be!
Don’t sweat it, *_'The Thing'_* is most people’s favourite *John Carpenter* movie, in my experience, usually closely followed by *_'Escape from New York'_* 😊
John Carpenter is the greatest! I am so in awe of how he scores all his films, what a master.
After all these years it wasn't until my son started playing the keyboard, that he told me John scored all those famous themes.
He’s a true master and legend.
He has a CD out for many yrs of his movie scores
He got me into the horror genre as a kid I saw Halloween and the concept, story, mask, music I was in complete awe and obsessed before the movie even ended
The Thing remake with Kurt Russell kicks butt.
Saddens me that so few Halloween fans are aware of this gem.
I’m Aware and I have 3 copies on dvd and the remake
Yup
@@choicetaco44 The remake pales in comparison, no one can replicate Carpenter's magic.
I really enjoyed this story too. They don't play this movie often. I wish they did.
It is truly one of my all time fav movies
I love The Fog. There's nothing better than 80s horror. Great job on the video!

80s horror rules!!
@@TravelinBand747 yes the best!!
I was already a Carpenter fan but The Fog is one of my favourite movies. Thanks from London UK.
This is one of the top ten movies I watch every Halloween. Love it!!
I ALWAYS have to watch Phantasm every Halloween 🎃
@@sci-figuy6668 I love phantasm!! Saw it at a drive-in in '79.💖☺👍
Agreed!
Yep
Absolutely. 😊
"The Fog"(1980) is the most atmospheric, and probably the scariest horror movie of all time!
Salem's lot would win that title IMO. "Throw away the cross! Face the Master. Your faith against his faith. Do you think you can do that holy man?"
I will check it out. i watched it years & years ago but recall the phone booths and the phones.
stunning views of the wide expanses of the Pacific Ocean.
I so agree!!
@@garysellars8914 😀Absolutely agree Salem's Lot 1979 🎥 is the scariest horror film ever made but there are people out there who feel The Exorcist is number 1 scariest.

That makes for a good story 🖤
For me it was Phantasm. Freaked me out.
The Entity 1982 is a real stopper! If your into scary movies and haven't seen it? warning it is scary!
This is incredible. One of my favorite movies of time. I’m so jealous ❤️❤️
Janet Leigh from "Psycho" is Jamie lee Curtis mother. Both together in the Fog.
"Baby Ghoul" - I LOVE that! You guys are hilarious. Thanks for the insight into one of my favorite movies!
Seeing this episode for the umteenth time. Love this flick.

The film not only featured Jamie Lee Curtis, but her mother Janet Leigh who played Kathy Williams
Also, Jamie Lee Curtis starred on "Halloween" ... and her mom, Janet Leigh starred on "Psycho"...two very scary classic horror movies !!! 🎥
It also featured Nancy Loomis, who was also in Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis.

I'm getting a little tired of buying films and turning them off because they are garbage. So nice to see an amazing film that I've not seen before. Thank you!!
I love The Fog. It has to be the most atmospheric horror film of the 80s. You did a great job and lined up some of those shots really accurately to compare with the movie!
Great vid. John had a knack for "creep factor" in a movie. Anyone else would've turned it into a forgettable B horror movie, but John made a memorable gem out of it. On my first visit to California, the first thing that struck me is the eclectic feel of the place. The fauna and flora, homes, streets, buildings. It's all very unique. I love all the color and lushness. So much history too. It's no wonder celebrities make it home.
Really enjoyed this amazing video, as I'm a big The Fog fan. I first saw the film when I was around age 10 or 11, my brother aged around 8 or so, and we ended up watching it on TV, probably in 1985 time or thereabouts. I ended up being scared stiff and to this day, my mum says that she doesn't know how we ended up watching it, as she must have been in the other room that night😄..she'd be getting peace for a while, while we were being scared witless in the livingroom🙈. It now remains one of my all time favourite horror movies ! Brilliant seeing the locations again as have seen other videos on them, but really enjoyed this one. Thank you for making this so informative, well explained and fun ! 😃
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I like how John Carpenter said he fell in love with the area during filming and lived here for a number of years. Definitely pick up the special edition DVD of the Fog with all the extra videos, don't forget the pier/harbor at Bodega Bay where they filmed as well. Glad to see how many buildings have survived after all these years. 😊
I have always loved where that lighthouse is. I've always wanted to go there and see it.
Around 1990 my wife, son, brother and cousin and their wives rented the house on stilts over the water, the same house in the movie. We rented it for a weekend. My young son (age 11 then) slept in the bedroom that was attacked by one of the pirate ghosts, who in the movie clawed at the door with his hook hand. The owner of the house had a copy of the movie for renters to view if they wished. We visited the lighthouse too, which at that time was closely approachable. My only other very small connection to the film is through Adrienne Barbeau. A friend of mine from my Toastmasters chapter, was in her high school class at Del Mar High in San Jose. He remembered that when Adrienne sat down at a table there was always the question of whether to put “them” on top of the table or stow them underneath.
I always like the movie The fog. I saw it when I was a kid. Thanks for doing the filming locations. This was a really cool video
Greetings from Germany!
I watched the movie again yesterday and, like John Carpenter, it's one of my favorite horror films. Seeing what the original locations are really like and where they are was really impressive. The cemetery also gave me goose bumps, despite the daylight. Thank you both very much for the trip! Greetings again from Germany (Berlin) and don't forget to "stay away from the fog!"
💀💀💀💀
What a surprise seeing your post for this video on Facebook today, after only watching this movie a week ago. My all-time favourite horror movie, thank you so much, I'm so jealous lol
Great job you two! Gorgeous locations! John Carpenter is the man! He is a total game changer of film making and film soundtracks. The Fog is a Classic. I try to watch it every year on the 21st of April!
Thanks again Grimmlife! I didnt know about the Doors connection, and I always learn something here . Great work as always ! : )
I am loving your videos, you guys need to come to Wales UK, so many filming locations here, also I work in a 17th century house called Tredegar House that was often visited by the great beast Alistair Crowley who performed rituals in our cellar, in a magik room, Jessica always looks awesome BTW, I love her style 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I just realized that I spent way too much time watching movies.
Couple GOALS. You’re such a gentleman to Jessica.
This is my all time fav movie!!
One of favorite John Carpenter films. It is a lovely place to visit. My kids would love that beach.
Me and my wife love you're channel! Big move from Florida to California
Great vid on The Fog! I've been binging on Grimmlifecollective vids since subbing. You're a darn good & entertaining "horror reporter!" Hope one day you're able to do an expose here in New Hampshire on Barney and Betty Hill who claimed they were abducted by extraterrestrials.
I remember watching the remake and thinking "Wow. You people learned NOTHING from watching the original".
It sucked. The original was the bom!!
No imagination anymore in Hollywood, just recycling stuff in a bad way.
Absolutely. Some things need to be left alone this was one of them.
Michael... these just keep getting better. Hope you and Lady Jessica have a great time in Vegas.
Grimm for Life!

FANTASTIC MOVIE FROM THE JOHN CARPENTER COLLECTION,, ONE OF MY FAVOURITES,,, DAVE HERE FROM DUBLIN IRELAND 🇮🇪,,, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU 2 👍
I loved this movie as a kid! Awesome job as always!! 💀🎃🕸🖤
I first saw this film in the 90's I was around 12, it scared the living daylights out of me. Watched it many times since, but I don't sleep with the light on.
I loved this movie!!! One of my absolute favorites...Couldn't wait to see your video on it. You guys have done an excellent job as always with all your videos..Thank you so very much for all that you do, and bringing these places to life for those of us who won't get the chance to go see them..You guys ROCK!!
Your content has been off the chain lately!! This was another one!!:)
So creepily ironic, in your shot of the Morrison house with the sign Love Street, the sign "Dead End" is directly below and behind it. Also, when at the brick wall with the loose brick, the words on the wall read "no barking" instead of no parking. Hilarious.
Awesome video!
Grimmlifers Rule Baby!
Happy Halloween indeed!
The fog and Halloween are My favorite movie's from john carpenter. Great video again Michael and Jessica
Great stuff guys I'll have to get into the fog now never seen it before 🌁😅
You're in for a treat. A rare movie that proves that gore is not necessary for an effective horror movie. Just avoid the 21st century remake!
Jessica's sunglasses are so awesome. Plus this channel got me listening to 'Calamity Man' by BATMOBILE.
Came for The Fog locations
Stayed for Jessica's acting.
oh man... 😅😅😂🤣🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
The Fog! A great 80's classic. Glad Debra Hill this to John Carpenter. The two that gave us Halloween. Jamie Lee Curtis and her mother Janet Leigh. Norman Bates and Michael Myers leading ladies.
This video included cool information about one of my favorite bands AND one of my favorite horror movies. Thank you!!🤘
The Fog is my favourite film and glad you guys are visiting. Love The Fog 2
I love how you call Jessica "baby ghoul". Beautiful scenery! 🙋🏼
My son, Derich, works at Amoeba Records in LA and just sent a picture of himself and John Carpenter taken this week at the store. Derich has adored Carpenter (and Cronenberg) since he was 5 years old. His grade school would call me all the time because he kept reading Fangoria magazine during class.
Awesome video, one of my favorite all time horror movies from John Carpenter. Thanks for taking me down memory lane of now a classic horror movie we watch every year especially in October. 🧟♂️✌
I lived and worked in point reyes. THIS is the first time I've heard of this movie being shot there.
Love that purse Jess lol
Appreciate the 1440p upload. Always enjoy the videos.
I love The Fog from the 1980’s. I hated the remak
Me too
This is the first film I watch when its halloween and leading up to it this is one of favourite films even my kids love it now there grown up
Ive never seen em, I just tried to find the first one but it's not for free. Who the hell would pay money for a movie from 1980?
@@joejones9520 Just get it. It's worth it.
I never even watched the remake. I was intrigued when I heard that Carpenter was executive producer of it, then I heard the unanimously negative reviews, it then became clear that Carpenter was pretty much only involved in name only, and the fact that the trailer even looked terrible, and I was like "Nah."
.... and i absolutely love all your vids. im glad to see other ppl who see the beauty of the darker side of life. i really hope your channel blows up big time. mad respect!
More beach locations!☀🌊 ❤ it!! The lighthouse location is so cool. I would have stood there all day taking pictures and enjoying the views. Safe travels. Happy Halloween! 🎃
I love all of John Carpenter films, and The Fog is great! Thanks for doing this filming locations.
