THE FOG (1980)

Special 45th-anniversary event with veteran film journalist Anne Thompson!

Help kick off our very first HORROR ON HILL STREET series with a classic of creepy filmmaking from genre maestro John Carpenter, who was recently inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Veteran film journalist Anne Thompson will join us before the film to discuss her early days as a unit publicist on the set of Carpenter's atmospheric work, in which a small coastal town faces ominous forces after a mysterious cloudy mister engulfs their entire community.

Carpenter reunited with recently-anointed Halloween scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis as well as her mother, Psycho legend Janet Leigh, and Hal Holbrook for a masterful ghost story with a lot on its mind, including a dark past that gradually bubbles to the surface. That conceit is also at the center of the new vampire epic Sinners, as The Fog will help set the stage for the upcoming IMAX release later in the week.
