8:40 let me elaborate this specific point, because I think there's another reason.
These creature, like you pointed out, are use to a world of dense moist and fog long enough to evolve to live in it, so at least a couple hundred thousands years at least I think. This could mean their planet or reality doesnt really have that present of the sun, it's still there but the fog blocks it. Yes that does make it darker, like you said, but it also block the UVs rays, this why their skin looks so pale and a few of them even produced their own light (I think, did the insects that appeared on the stores window made their own light, or did my brain process that wrong) sorta like the fish that live in the deep ocean. But this also means their natural resistance to UV light is incredibly weak, causing them to suffer terrible sun burns after a short time out of the fog.
Also another thought, we've never really seen the monsters actively leave the mist on their own terms, maybe they can do it and the movie just didn't show it to us. But hey, that's a bit of a boring answer.
Hmmmm that is NOT a boring answer! Are you kidding!!?? That makes so much sense!!!! I didn't even consider the skin adaptations lol. NICE! I didn't see the insects in the store make their own light. Makes sense they wouldn't since that would make them a target for everything else but still FANTASTIC observations.
@@Alteori they did
@@SyahidanIbnMokhtar hmmm I have to watch again
So they r like mc zombies
I think the real reason why they come from another realm it because Stephen King threw hints at the beginning of the movie to to show us audience that they’re connected to The Dark Tower trilogy. The reason why I mention this because if you pay close attention to the very beginning of the movie and you see the main character painting a picture of a (GUNSLINGER). That gunslinger is Roland Deschain. And what he’s connected to everyone. “The Dark Tower”. In the Dark Tower trilogy, there are some many dimensions that are connected to the dark tower.
Answer:
because if they did, then the movie would have to be called “The”

"Why do these spiders have human teeth?"
May I throw out a theory? if the mist is a portal to an alternate reality, then the evolution of those species were different as well.
Those teeth belong to an omnivorous animal, meaning they can eat vegitation and meat. Maybe that spieices of spider had a hard time finding prey (especially since the other animals and insects are either equal or larger in size), so during the eons of evolution, it grew teeth that can help consume fruits and vegitation from trees to get food.
I mean its just convergent evolution on a larger scale

There is even fish that have human looking teeth

If I recall what my Stephen King enthusiast friend said correctly, they pretty much can only exist within the mist because the fog is the only thing that keeps them tied to their own dimension. So it's not like the fog comes from the portal, the fog itself is the portal, and anything inside it is the co-existence of our dimension with the dimension the creatures come from, so not all the monsters come from a single spot, as the fog spreads in our world, the connection spreads in their dimension. So just for the sake of argument lets say that our dimensions are paralel, and in our dimension there's a Walmart, and in their dimension, in the coordinates where our Walmart would be, there lives a giant spider with 12 dicks. Once the fog reaches the Walmart in our world, the 12 dicked spider can cross to our dimension through it from its world, it doesn't need to go to the source of the fog to cross to our world.
very good!!! That's another thing I considered but I didn't add it because at the end, when the fog clears up, you can still see the guys killing those big bugs
That is so cool, the explanation is cool aswell
A 12 dick spider, *nice*
I really just think there nocturnal and just stay in the mist cause its safer seeing as many of the Mist monster either don't have eyes or have eyes but they aren't fully developed .
But if the mist is the portal, then why can't we cross to their dimension?
Jeez, this movie’s ending was darker than a blackhole.
Gearnut Animations yea it was
I think the entire movie was a perfect illustration of how when faced with the unknown people want to make themselves feel better through action, even if they have no idea that their actions will improve anything. It starts with the crazy zealots thinking they can appease god through sacrifice, and then ends with them thinking that killing themselves is better than waiting it out.
Loved it, we both did.
Oh buddy, the book’s ending was even darker
I was extremely annoyed at this ending. I’m a huge King fan and wanted the ambiguous ending that the novella gives. Bc it leaves it open to interpretation. I didn’t want some director to come up with his own Lovecraftian ending to the story.
Spider: *jumps in front of man*
Man: oooh ooooh AAAAAAAH
Me: just hit the bloody thing with you flashlight you nub
You would NOT do that
"The Fog" was a John Carpenter movie, "The Mist" is Steven King and it sounds more dramatic, more mysterious. Just saying.
Yep, and I'm pretty sure it came out the same year as Kings book.
Ya and it does sound more mist-erious
Can't wait for someone to write 'clouds at ground level'

There's evidence/speculation that according to King's multiverse in his works that the monsters from The Mist are from whats known as Todash space or the space in between various realities...
@@ObsydianShade I have read that. It involves a link to an entirely different world and was theorized in the story to just be an extraterrestrial world in the same universe as earth.
@@26th_Primarch Todash darkness isn’t actually a different “world,” per se. it’s like the space between worlds. Think of your house that’s separated by walls. The monsters would be like the mice that live inside those walls. If you wanted to open portals to discover different realities, you’d have to go through there first.
@heathermillsphantomlimb9314 I was replying to a comment about the original short story being different from the film.
And, The Mist short story was later retconned into the Dark Tower multiverse but originally wasn't part of it.

It's "The Mist" because "The Fog" was already taken by another movie.
It’s sounds better anyway🤷🏾♂️
You do realize the book was released the year the fog movie was....so the book was sooner since it most likely took less time to write, it's a Novella of course.... So no, it's not because of that lmao.
@@thisissupposed "The Mist" was published in 1980, the same year that the movie "The Fog" was released in the same year, 1980. "The Fog" had also also been previously used, by a book published in 1975, so it was still already taken, in case you didn't realize...lmao
@@williamsmith1741 In case you didn't notice - If the "Fog Movie" can be the same name as a book called "The Fog", then the Mist could have also used that name, lmao.
@@thisissupposed I have no idea what that statement is supposed to be saying, but "The Mist" movie is based on "The Mist" the book. The reason "The Mist" the book wasn't titled "The Fog", even though it would have been more accurate, was because there was already a book called "The Fog", which is entirely unrelated to the movie "The Fog". Of course, your statement almost reads like "Just because someone else used the name for a movie or book, doesn't mean that we can't also use that same name for a movie or book."
I'm actually writing a book right now, maybe I'll name it "Dracula"?...lmao
This may forever stay a mist-ery.
I very much like your joke
What a Fog-ettable case
Xenotriver underrated
I think i've mist the point of your joke
I am honestly amazed anyone found that funny, I had a mist-pun clarity moment
In the Stephen king multiverse there are things called "Thinnies" where the fabric of reality is weak or torn, they don't necessarily occupy just a portal, but an entire area.
I'm pretty sure the fog is an ever expanding thinny, and the things that come through don't come from a single point, but phase through wherever the thinny occupies.
There does not have to be a fog where they came from, it's probably just a visual representation of the thinny. In the SK multiverse Thinnies are described as like mercury, but a fog may be easier to use for film.
And the alternate realities are not necessarily of the same time on the other end of a thinny, in the dark tower series they often end up in a different time when going through.
Horst Simco II thinnie is a hilarious and stupid word do describe things in a horror movie and I love it
@@bruhbruh753 tuhh-rueeeee, I love some of those old Stephen king books
Like basically all space terms, the other reality is not on other point of the portal or something, it is HERE, but you just can't interact with it every day. The place when you staying right now is also a place in billions of myriads of other realities and timestamps, you just may don't think of it often.
Bruh what you even mean with visual representation, the fog is there, so it is something. You can't just pretend it's something else.
@@SirKolass when I say the fog is a visual representation of a thinnie, I mean it may be what it looks like when a thinnie manifests. In the books this is represented as a kind of mercurial mist, or like the little waves above something hot in the distance (like what causes mirages in the desert). The only reasons I can think of why they didn't do that in the movies is because it may be way easier to depict it as fog or that it lends greater mystery and suspense to the fog.
Now, when I talk about the creatures not necessarily NEEDING fog to survive, or not necessarily coming from a world or dimension filled with fog, I am just pointing out that the fog could be visual representation of a thinnie spreading through either world and any creature in the overlap between the two worlds, or fog, would possibly pop up in the fog on the other end (like where the movie takes place) and that is why you only see monsters in the fog.
To be honest, we don't even really see that much outside of the fog during the movie once the fog starts, so we can't really say they need the fog or come from a world with the same fog. The fog doesn't seem to hinder the biological functions of humans intrinsically, so how much different than our normal atmospheric composition could it be that these creatures NEED it.
I love your detailed analysis of the mist, and the cat. 😆 There's so much to discuss concerning how the mist works, what's in it, and what other groups might've experienced. It's nice to see uploaders share the same level of curiosity when it comes to this story. Definitely one of my all time favorites as well. 👍
Because the creatures almost have an albino appearance, which is the reason why the tentacle shriveled when David and the others found it, or they are so sensitive to sunlight they actually die if they are not careful staying in the mist. The MIst is also camouflage to lure an unsuspecting human whom wanders off from the group and gets his or herself killed.
I dont think humans exist in the AU..
The tentacle fizzled away mostly because it was cut down.
As Stephen King has said, all of his books and movies are interconnected in some way. With that in mind maybe the Mist is just a thinny. Basically the Mist is the doorway or portal to the other dimension. That's why the creatures travel at the same speed as the Mist. They're not coming out from one central point, and moving along with it, they're coming out from the thinny, which is everywhere. It would explain why they're not able to just spontaneously appear inside of buildings that don't have the Mist in it, but will travel outside of it given the opportunity. Also it would explain why the military is burning all the egg sacs and different flora and fauna once the Mist clears up and the portal has been sealed. That way the creatures don't begin spawning here on Earth and take over.
Stupid theory
@@johnny2x459 No?
Didn't stephen king write the original it book? If so doesn't that mean that pennywise would also exist in this universe? And the weird hotel with the ghosts? I don't remember the name but there's the dud that says HERE'S JOHNNY with his axe
@@grimwolf7757 The Overlook Hotel is what you're thinking of. And yeah, technically they do all exist in the same universe/multiverse, for the most part at least.
@Grimwolf77 yes, Pennywise from It made an appearance in The Dark Tower series as Dandelo. And Danny's power from the Shining was the same power as Ted Braughtigan's power from both Hearts in Atlantis and the Dark Tower series. The priest from Salem's Lot even became a major character in the series as well. Hell, Roland and his crew even passed through a thinny into the world from the Stand at one point.
The Mist 'has an acrid smell, and warps acoustics within it' - it's not just water. It's also not coming from the portal, or is itself the portal: the Mists *are* the dimension these creatures come from, tied to Thinnies or Todash Darkness in Stephen King canon. Less Stranger Things portal and more ST Mind Flayer itself, or Shadowfell/Ethereal Plane from RPGs, with all the entities crossing over naturally from mirrored locales when the mist had spread that far.
What happened was the Arrowhead Project created an artificial Thinny (the portal) which allowed the spread of the Mist - not _from_ the portal, but _because of_ the portal, and allowed a progressive spread of a weakening to the membrane between worlds. The exact nature of the rest changes from book to movie to serial, but that breakdown stays otherwise the same. In both book and movie, the creatures were capable of leaving the mists, they just didn't have a particular need to.
Otherwise, Hallow's comment is correct.
Yep, they just broke the most lower brick of the tower. Our home, our planet isn't ours anymore.
That doesn't apply in the movie since we can see the army dealing with the bugs outside the mist
@@SirKolass "In both book and movie, the creatures were capable of leaving the mists, they just didn't have a particular need to."
@@T.BG822 Who is that quote from?
@@SirKolass myself, from the final lines in my OP, which explains away your comment
I have my own theory:
Those are all insects, we used to have insects that size on earth when the atmosphere was more oxigen rich. Insects respiration are linked to their surface area, thus they cannot grow over a certain size unless the air has a high concentration of oxigen.
maybe the mist/fog is just very oxygen rich.
That's assuming that they're carbon-based lifeforms /and/ that they breathe oxygen.
What if, your point, but not oxygen, perhaps instead nitrogen or co2? something that makes up our atmosphere as well so it wouldn't straight up kill anyone who walked through it, since we see people in the movie walking through this stuff with no consequence from the mist itself.
If this happens this year, i won't even be surprised.

What was your theory? I’m just curious
Storm Breaker the alternate dimension (which I will call Dimension M) and it’s creatures rely on the mist because of changes in air flow and mist. Note how most of the mist creatures have either hairy-like appearances, or are smooth and slimy....
Now...keeping this in mind, and that some creatures, if not all are blind, then they would need a way to be sensitive to changes in airflow and temperature... which brings into the equation of slimy skinned monstrosities, or hairy insectiods

@@shilohmerilan9858 Yeh, I know, maybe just overreacted a bit.
during their evolution in the mist they probably somehow figured that the mist gives them a huge advantage to when they are hunting their prey due to the fact that it is difficult to see in the mist for other creatures
It's also possible, that the fog or "mist" isn't fog or mist at all, but a spore or pollen from the other dimension. If this is the case the particles could make it so the creatures require it mixed into the breathable air in order for them to survive, which would also explain why they are only found in the mist.
YOOO I THINK YOUR ONTO SOMETHING
I have an idea for you;
“Why does the Graboid’s intelligence regress as it goes through metamorphosis?”
Because as he/she becomes smaller so does his/her brain size.
Because of movie logic and plot armor

Hahaha I'm stronger now!!! Time to use less brain cells because who needs it when you're stronger.
They are not evolving they are devolving?
Cause they’re growing up. They’re going through a life cycle
It leaves prey unaware of any potential predators
This reminds me that the novel “The Dark Tower” take place in a foggy place where there is a tower surrounded by monsters, and where the entity IT comes from.
IT actually came from the macroverse, not the Dark Tower. It is described in the novel.

I have a thery that they need the mist because it's super humid and maybe the creatures are like frogs where they need very very high humidity or they dry up
Or maybe it's like the mist is from other dimension so its special demension stuff
The mist could not have been that humid, otherwise those wasp-monsters couldn't fly around. If insects' wings get wet, they lose the ability to fly.

From what I understand, the Mist itself is another dimension (the Todash Darkness) leaking into our own. The creatures can only exist inside their native dimension, so leaving it for too long causes them to die. I believe this is implied in From a Buick 8, which features monsters similar in nature to the ones in The Mist.
There's already a John Carpenter movie called The Fog, which came out the same year as King's The Mist novella.
Buick 8 was a really really good read. Very original concept.
5:15, oh, yeah, when Stephanie, David's wife noticed the mist "coming down the mountain," which is unusual.
I was wondering when you were going to do this one...
(yay!)
The novella heavily implied that the area of effect of the mist/fog was finite as the survivors at the end of the story managed to hear a snippet of a broadcast on the car radio that was meant to direct anyone near the edge of the mist to a safe area. This was significant as the mist, up to that point, was blocking all forms of radio and other em transmissions, further implying that the effects and/or density of the mist weakened significantly the further from the epicenter one traveled. It was also implied that the smaller creatures weren't present the further away from the epicenter they traveled and only the larger and stronger creatures were able to travel that far, though given the short timeframe of the novella, it's also possible that the larger creatures were just faster than the smaller ones given their much longer stride lengths, plus the larger creatures seemed less likely to be distracted by stopping to investigate inside of buildings or hunt the people on the ground so that's hardly conclusive.
My personal hypothesis is, given what was revealed and discovered in the novella, there's some inherent element to the mist that the creatures need to survive that's seemingly benign to humans but essential to the creatures. It very well could be the moisture itself is crucial to their survival, they may draw some sort of nourishment from it or perhaps that's their source of hydration or something - if it's true that they come from an alternate Earth that has a much denser or more humid atmosphere, then they may have evolved to absorb that moisture directly into their bodies like oceanic animals or certain amphibians do. There could also be some sort of microbial life that serves some biological function for the creatures that doesn't affect humans because, well, why would it? Humans don't have nearly the same physiology as the mist creatures, and thus wouldn't be of use or interest to their microbes the same way our microbes like bacteria or viruses likely wouldn't bother them at all.
Now that I've said all of that, here's a thought experiment for you to ponder - what if The Mist and Stranger Things were the same continuity?
Now, hear me out, there are a LOT of parallels between Stranger Things and The Mist. The discovery of The Upside Down was an accident during the Hawkins Laboratory experiments with MKUltra, but what if Project Arrowhead was formed to further explore and observe The Upside Down, possibly to exploit it for resources? In the video it's said that a hotter atmosphere coming into contact with ours would cause the fog to form, but the opposite is also true, a much colder atmosphere would react very similarly to our warmer atmosphere, and we know that the atmosphere in The Upside Down is much colder (due to some sort of dense cloud cover) than ours, so that could explain the mist.
The creatures themselves could be simple lower animals, the Upside Down versions of rats, birds, raccoons, cats, dogs, and so on. They could be coming through the portal simply looking for food, places to nest or following prey animals who are looking for food or nesting places in our world. It's also possible that the Mind Flayer or another entity like it still exists in The Upside Down and Arrowhead's experiments got its attention, and as it moved toward the portal that Arrowhead opened, the other creatures fled through the portal to get away from the Mind Flayer seeking refuge in our world.
It's also possible that the mist itself is a life form of its own or could be a weakened form of the Mind Flayer (or possibly an offspring of the Flayer) as we've seen the Flayer can exist in a cloudlike form in Stranger Things. That might also be why the creatures that come though the Arrowhead portal are reluctant to leave the fog/mist - if it is a form of Mind Flayer, which is a telepathic entity, then the creatures could be linked to the mist in a way that isn't visibly obvious. Or, if the mist is a life form like the Mind Flayer, the creatures could have an even deeper symbiotic relationship with it and serve as it's organ systems, providing the mist with tactile feedback about its surroundings, serving as its defensive and immunological systems, providing it with nutrients via some sort of symbiotic osmosis or by converting food matter to a state that can be absorbed by the mist body, etc. The Mist tv show hinted that the mist was feeding off of people directly somehow, and that prolonged unprotected exposure to it caused hallucinations and physical trauma to humans, so there is precedent.
In the original novella the characters speculate that it's not just a portal who opened and from which the monsters came out, but that our world actually intersected/merged together with the monster's own dimension.
In short it's a complete crossover between Earth/X with the monsters merely appearing everywhere along with the spread of the mist.
This is the reason why that huge earthquake happens at the start of the movie, it's that part of the world merging with the other dimension.
In essence wherever the Mist reaches it no longer counts as Earth but Earth/X with monsters spontaneously appearing within that zone.
In the same way that some creatures that normally live in water, can live for a short time in the air (and vise versa), creatures from The Mist can exist for a short time in our realm. This also explains how the Military was able to destroy them, by eliminating The Mist (that they need to survive for longer periods of time).
0:13 god that actually gives me the chills
This movie has the best ending of any movie in the past 30 years. Totally realistic and understandable.
"and of course it is very thick, and it is very high.."
I remember those days.
A- great theory
b- OH MY GOD YOUR LITTLE FOX IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
They live in the mist because they got faces not even a mother could love
Somethings about the Mist: My theory is that this creatures are the monsters of the Todash. In the books Todash is the space between the dimensions, a place were there is no life and no light. The creatures who live there are unnatural abominations who were banished of the multiverse by God itself. This makes sense because the beings of the Mist don't look or behave like natural animals. The Arrowhead Project was trying to travel to another dimension but don't go to the end, and end up to make the Todash bleed to their universe. That's what i think.
Oh wow
But thats a really good theory
I've heard that theory before, but I think it's doubtful, because your statement the creatures in the mist "don't look or behave like natural animals" is quite untrue. They're very alien but they do overall seem to be carnivorous animals driven by hunger and reproduction, with these and the species they have amongst themselves indicating they form an ecosystem.
"It's not mist; it's actually fog!"
That so matter of fact tone and little factoid reminded me of myself. That's a very Aspie way of saying it. lol
0:50 is the part I'm referring to, by the way. The giggle was really cute, too.
Also, I think the spiders adapted to have teeth is for the purpose of chewing meat. They probably evolved that way because their prey is so large and they ambush their prey.
Yeah but the teeth they are shown to have do not appear to be canines (sharpened teeth used for specifically eating meat), instead they had rather flat teeth (for plants).
@@blakestephens333 That's actually really odd. They clearly eat meat. Maybe it's for eating the marrow inside bones by crushing them. I'd like to think that they also have canines because one spider in the movie kills a human by ripping his throat out when you see it bite his neck.
@@blakewalker94 plot twist: the teeth have extremely tiny but sharp points at the end
@@arandomcrusader8822 Really? Or is that a joke? lol
@@blakewalker94 it's a joke
That little foxy looks so cute, waveing it's tail around. Couldn't tear my eyes away from it the entire video.
This is something I’ve thought about from the movie. Judging by how fast the creatures show up and people start being killed pretty much as soon as the mist envelopes an area, the creatures must have been pouring through the portal like water from a breaking dam. And if that’s true…how crowded was their world?
Theory: What if the creatures that exist in the mist are actually from our future, or a potential future that only happens because of the experiment? Like a time loop. And because of this, the creatures then take over the world only to go through that same portal that brought them here.
Then how it started?
Sergio Fonseca because plot
Not really, these creatures are actually from The Dark Tower
The mist is a rift between worlds
Between our world and their world
todash space. space between worlds/dimensions where ancient creatures dwell. Also where Pennywise/Eater of Worlds and Maturin the Turtle came from.
Its possible that the reason its called The Mist even tho its a fog. There is another book/movie called The Fog that came out some time before The mist came out.
The Fog book 1975/ movie 1980
The Mist book 1980 - 1985/ movie 2007
Around the six minute mark, Alteori stops drawing mist monsters and just decides to draw a dragon
I seem to recall that the OG story mentioned that the creatures hunt by smell (the mist makes it hard to see and all sounds are muted). They might have some sort of sonar but if it is smell, someone could possible mask their smell and move through the mist without any issues.
To be honest, "The Fog" sounds less impressive.
0:03 i never knew captain Holt was ordered to find these creatures lol
If the mist was an SCP it would be classified as a keter class by site director or 05 due to the fact it’s not easy to contained
Just put some fans around the site and boom, problem dealth with
Like SCP 354 (Red Pool)... but how did they contain this one? If they succeeded with 354 they may succeed with The Mist as well.
@@olymolly3637
They just build research sites around the pool and that's it, when something come out from it the MTF now got their roles.
To the foundation that would either be a thamuel or a appoyon
What about the peeps in the mist
Do they class as part of 'The Mist'?
They could still, possibly, need the fog to survive. Like a human in an low-oxygen environment, we can still breathe, but it would be hard, and the longer we continue to deprive ourselves of the oxygen, the faster we die. IMHO, I think they remain stable and healthy while in the fog, but slowly start dying once they leave it, which still allows them to hunt and survive in areas without it. We never see any of them outside the mist for extended periods of time.
I had my volume down and could've sworn after you 'said why do the creatures stay in the mist/fog', you had said 'probably to check out our women.'
Lmao because “The Fog” was already taken lmao 😂
When I first saw the “mist” I thought the movie was called “the fog.”
1:01 what do you know i actually learned something, who says this channel isn't educational
BRO WHEND YOU GET ANIMATED I FUCKING SCREAMED WHEN YOUR TAIL MOVED
First vid of yours I've seen
Quite informative and esay to digest.... you've got another sub ○_○
Can you do a video on all the monsters?plz
I like this movie to dnt you just wish their was a 2nd one?? I enjoyed the series. I still prefer a 2nd movie.
Yeah I agree, would be kinda "tricky" I think to pull off cause the situation was "taken care of" per say at the end.
If they do make a second movie I really hope they don't ruin the franchise.
The ending of this movie mad me nuts, great movie tho
Ima say this again
Alteori: dumb movie Monday
Me: what is this s### on my screen :b
If the mist is like a fridge that is some expired mutant food
My theory is that the mist itself is some form of living creature that sustains the creature's fluid needs, which likely allows for the tentacles to decompose in seconds without it. Whatever the mist is, it desires to take over everything, so when a portal is created directly to the original dimension of humans, it sends itself and the creatures dependent on it to our dimension. The creatures also are not seen leaving the mist willingly, which might be because the mist has some kind of telepathic control over them, and this likely led to so many creatures being brought into our world. Plus, there are some creatures like the tentacle creature that has relatives that belong underwater, yet exists on land, which is probably why we see the tentacle decompose after being separated from the rest of the creature, yet the scorpion flies are fine when separated from the mist. It might also have some kind of mutative effect to creatures in the mist, somewhat like the shimmer from annihilation, only slower.
They could just be more comfortable/adapted to being in the fog.
Arrow Head = Black Mesa. Half-Life was inspired by The Mist.
Half-life came out before the mist
@@firegaming-eh9eb Half-life came out in 1998, King's novel was published in 1980. Also, HL developers directly stated that Mist was one of their main sources if inspiration.
They exist in the mist because the mist is the representation of the other dimension merging with ours
3:30 human teeth may not actually be optimal for us, but one thing about them is that they are the most painful teeth to get bitten by. We probably evolved them to get predators to let go of us from pain. Those spider things mightve evolved them to specifically cause not just pain, but also suffering.
ive missed your videos. been away for a bit. love your content.
Not sure if this math is right, but I attempted to calculate how far the fog got.
Upon looking at this: ua-cam.com/video/CRnadHP5JOo/v-deo.html I concluded the fog was probably going at about 1 meter/second.
So, I multiplied the total seconds to equal an hour, and got 3600. Then, I multiplied this by 24 hours, and then three times that for three days (pretty sure they were in there for that long).
Next, I went to Google Earth, got the circle ruler, and began at Bridgeton Main and went for 160 miles, which is how far the mist got if it was rolling along for three days.
Finally, I saw that the farthest it got was:
North: Saint - George's (Only time a direction landed in Canada)
South: Naushon Island
East: Jordan Basin
West: North Creek
*Basically, not much of the US, and not much of the world at all.*
If it was 2 meters per second (don't think it would be any faster than this, that is why I put in this final assessment of mine), then it would just be 320 miles which would reach as far as:
North: Saguenay
South: Atlantic City (if it was on the actual continent cause it only reached Trenton) Also this is the only US area in this versions' directions.
East: Chester Acers (if it had been on the continent, otherwise it only reached Chester Basin)
West: Cherry Valley
*Still not much at all.*
Thenrealise in SK universe this thing hasn't been stopped, because you have no idea how to do it, 3 months and the entire Earth is somewhere else.

6:58 Oh god, I know what it's supposed to be, but that is an anus. XD
Great analysis. You should read the Dark Tower series. King ties all of his universes together in them. Areas where the dimensional barriers between realities is thin ("thinnies"), they are often also foggy. In Roland's multiverse, alien creatures exist that not even he knew about before. An encounter with a monster lobster ("Lobstrosity") is how his hands got mangled and he later on sees there are many like that one in the distance. When I saw the end of The Mist, where the soldiers are closing in on the mist and its monsters, I assumed the military was circling and killing all the creatures that left the mist. And, once those were eliminated, they moved in to sweep and clear what was left. One could also assume some black ops project happened to see if they could use such a portal as a bio-weapon before they decided to contain them.
2:19 looks like a golispod and a xenomorph mixed together
idk why my mind jumped to that
Not first but damn did i click fast O_O
How to kill the “Mist creatures”
1- Call the Guinness World Record for farting
2-Tell him to fart
3-*boom they die*
That would kill the humans to
Kazuma Well We can Close the doors and wait patiently
I know why
It’s in the script
That's never an answer
*grabs egg*
*Jeeyneyus!*
It's called "The Mist" because there are already 2 movies named "The Fog"
I have a bit of apprehension about saying that the creatures entering the store means they don’t need the mist to exist. Fish leap from water and certain birds dive into water in order to get to prey, so this could just be them leaving what they need to survive behind to get to more food.
Another reason that wasn’t discussed for why they stay in the mist could be that the mist on their side of the portal is not planetary, but local. This could mean that the creatures are apprehensive about leaving the mist because in their world doing so makes them vulnerable to other predators, and those predators don’t show up because they wouldn’t enter the mist in order to get to the portal.
There were other predators outside the mist for them (the Maine national guard), so its not like the creatures were wrong to prefer the safety of the mist.
