With the constant fluctuations in air temp this winter, we've experienced here where I live a number of days where a fog sets in for several days, making it quite eerie. Other than THE FOG and THE MIST, can anyone else think of some good horror movies that involve a fog? I'd prefer examples where something seems to come with the fog, but I'll also take examples where the fog is just atmospheric.

The only one I can think of right now is The City of the Dead (1960). I believe it's more atmospheric than some danger hidden in there. Movie itself is OK.

There's the French remake of The Fog - Le Fog. And I hear Le Mist is in pre-production. Check out The City Of The Dead (1960) - it's an uneven Christopher Lee witch movie, but the dry ice on set makes for some eerie scenes. edit: Johan beat me. Bad. |

The City of the Dead was the only other movie I could think of with lots of fog, although I couldn't remember it's name. I saw it a few years ago on a local late night horror show. There's also The Wolf Man, of course.
We had five days where a very thick fog set in, and it was a little unsettling. It's weird how the familiar can become unfamiliar, and I think there are more good stories than can be told involving fog.

Not a big part of the movie, but in Sleepy Hollow there is this fantastic shot when the guy is in the watchtower is looking out into the woods for the Headless Horseman and the torches at the edge of the woods are extinguished by fog creeping out of the woods. Plus there is a good deal of just atmospheric fog in a lot of scenes.

Atmospheric fog is common in Hammer Films horrors. Their adaptation of The Hound Of The Baskervilles being an example.

The kind of movies with fog that I was trying to think of were those where the fog was menacing itself or that the fog was a shroud for something else. |
