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!
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!
@@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
@@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.
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.
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!!
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!!😄
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.
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, 😁.
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👍🤟💀
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!
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.
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 UA-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. 🎃🖤
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. ⛰🏞⛰🙋👍🕍🏖⚓⛵🏝
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."
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 🙏☘️☘️☘️
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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
I just discovered you via Scott on tape(who I also just discovered while looking up Chester Benningtons funeral spot) now I am binging all your videos to catch up, love them ..I am afraid to fly but I want so much to see these places, thanks..
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.
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 ❤
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!" 💀💀💀💀
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!!
I love how Tom Atkins name was Nick Castle in the movie. Nick Castle of course played Michael Myers in Halloween and Tom Atkins would go on to star in Halloween 3.
Ha, nice catch. . I think that mercury station wagon Janet Lee was driving up the old church road was the same car used when Michael Myers escaped in the first Halloween. I could be mistaken.
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 ! 😃
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!
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!
So excited to watch this! You guys are incredible. You never fail to amaze me with such great content and interesting and fascinating content at that! Thank you both for all the hard work, love, and passion you put into these videos not only for yourselves but for other's to enjoy as well. Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃🧟♂️
Thanks for sharing this video, I loved it. I remember watching this movie when I was probably way too young to watch it 😅 big fan of your channel. Love from Scotland 🏴
This movie triggered tears of night terrors for me as a kid. It was a bad time in my life. I was 5th to 6th grade and after watching this movie one night I had my first night terror and it continued for the next couple of years. I would wake up in the middle of the night dreaming that the world was about to end and it was coming towards me like the fog in the movie. Sometimes I’d be awake while dreaming this and sometimes I wouldn’t remember it at all. But my parents had to film me having one so the doctors would believe her and try to do something about it.
Awesome Video bro. Nailed it. Watching The Fog (1979) right now and it was cool seeing the locations and how they look present day. Keep the good content coming! I love The Fog (1979) so much and I love the atmosphere and music. Puts me to sleep sometimes lol........some good ol' comfy sleep with that John Carpenter musical touch! Great movie. One of my all time favorites!
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. 🧟♂️✌
The Fog is still my favourite horror movie a timeless classic Halloween is a close second,but what a film so glad you did this one.I am from the UK so the chance of me ever seeing these locations is very slim.Its not just you visiting these locations its how its presented brilliant love it.
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!
Try watching _The Fog_ with your friends at a sleepover when your friend’s wacky dad leaps into the bedroom blasting a fire extinguisher to simulate the eponymous ‘fog’ . . . 🤣
@@cherylsmith4826 - _haha!_ - as I recall, it was more the loud _WHOOSH!_ noise of the blast than the actual CO2 that freaked us out, but it was great!
My favourite horror film of all time! Love everything about it! I live in South Western tip of England and there is a road that reminds me so much of Steve's drive to the lighthouse. Thank you so much for doing this!! Great, just great!!
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.

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
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'_* 😊
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
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.
"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.
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. 😊
I was already a Carpenter fan but The Fog is one of my favourite movies. Thanks from London UK.
I love The Fog. There's nothing better than 80s horror. Great job on the video!
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.
@@TravelinBand747 I agree completely
Absolutely
80s horror rules!!
@@TravelinBand747 yes the best!!
Janet Leigh from "Psycho" is Jamie lee Curtis mother. Both together in the Fog.
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!!
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!
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.
@@josefizquierdo6139 they are both in Halloween H20
@@josefizquierdo6139 wow only just realized the connection, thanks, Jamie lee certainly come from great acting stock 🫶
And don’t forget Charles Cyphers (“Dan The Weatherman”) , who played Nancy’s dad , the cop Sheriff Brackett , in Halloween @@moviegeek9540
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!!😄
Awesome. 😊
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.

H3 had killer atmosphere. If it was a stand alone movie it would have gotten more love.
One of my personal favorite movies THE FOG. Thank you!
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 ! 😃
My next destination will be point Reyes , that’s beautiful. I miss Santa Cruz so much and this reminds me of it.
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!
I remember seeing this in a Drive Inn. Nice job on the video, esp. when the car pops up out of no where🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗 Great acting on the beach🤗🤗🤗 !!!
show please filming location Christine)))
Christine is coming soon
Couple GOALS. You’re such a gentleman to Jessica.
You two are living my dream! Nevertheless, nice of you to take us along:-) Great channel!
I love the architecture of the church. This was one of my favourite movies of Carpenter's.
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!
Thank you for taking us with you, another great tour😀✌
Me and my wife love you're channel! Big move from Florida to California
This is awesome. I love The Fog. Yet another amazing video from The G.L.C. Thank you guys.
So excited to watch this! You guys are incredible. You never fail to amaze me with such great content and interesting and fascinating content at that! Thank you both for all the hard work, love, and passion you put into these videos not only for yourselves but for other's to enjoy as well. Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃🧟♂️
Thanks for sharing this video, I loved it. I remember watching this movie when I was probably way too young to watch it 😅 big fan of your channel. Love from Scotland 🏴
I love how you call Jessica "baby ghoul". Beautiful scenery! 🙋🏼
This movie triggered tears of night terrors for me as a kid. It was a bad time in my life. I was 5th to 6th grade and after watching this movie one night I had my first night terror and it continued for the next couple of years. I would wake up in the middle of the night dreaming that the world was about to end and it was coming towards me like the fog in the movie. Sometimes I’d be awake while dreaming this and sometimes I wouldn’t remember it at all. But my parents had to film me having one so the doctors would believe her and try to do something about it.
I would run around the housing screaming and crying trying to get away from what was coming towards me.
Moin,one of my favorite Horror movie-watched 1981 in cinema.
I'm 56 years young.🎥🎞🎬🌞🥁🥁
Awesome Video bro. Nailed it. Watching The Fog (1979) right now and it was cool seeing the locations and how they look present day. Keep the good content coming! I love The Fog (1979) so much and I love the atmosphere and music. Puts me to sleep sometimes lol........some good ol' comfy sleep with that John Carpenter musical touch! Great movie. One of my all time favorites!
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. 🧟♂️✌
The Fog is still my favourite horror movie a timeless classic Halloween is a close second,but what a film so glad you did this one.I am from the UK so the chance of me ever seeing these locations is very slim.Its not just you visiting these locations its how its presented brilliant love it.
Love that purse Jess lol
The Fog is my favourite film and glad you guys are visiting. Love The Fog 2
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!
I am positively *giddy* watching this.
Fantastic, Father Malone would appreciate !
I am watching this from Scotland, this is one of my most favourite films ever, Thank you so much and you have a great channel :-)
Hi. New subscriber. Love your channel. Came from Scott on Tape. Anyway, Adrienne and Hal also did creepshow together.
Creepshow is one of my all time favorite movies. A couple years ago, we did a video on the filming locations...a quick search show find them
Hal just died this past January. Born in 25. Saw him do his one man Mark Twain show at Ford's Theater years ago.
@@samanthab1923 really? I didn't know that.
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!
Also my favorite 😍😍😍
I can confirm that the cross is still there as of September 19th 2022, thank you for doing this, the Fog is one of my favorite movies
Try watching _The Fog_ with your friends at a sleepover when your friend’s wacky dad leaps into the bedroom blasting a fire extinguisher to simulate the eponymous ‘fog’ . . . 🤣
That’s parenting done right... always try to scare kids at a sleepover...... always... makes for great stories like this one 🖤
THATS AWESOME- Cool Dad
@@cherylsmith4826 - _haha!_ - as I recall, it was more the loud _WHOOSH!_ noise of the blast than the actual CO2 that freaked us out, but it was great!
My favourite horror film of all time! Love everything about it!
I live in South Western tip of England and there is a road that reminds me so much of Steve's drive to the lighthouse.
Thank you so much for doing this!! Great, just great!!
