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!

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. ⛰🏞⛰🙋👍🕍🏖⚓⛵🏝

This is incredible. One of my favorite movies of time. I’m so jealous ❤️❤️

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.

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.

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. 😊

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.

I knew this may be next after viewing the Birds..Great job! Forward to possibly to The Howling,Salem's Lot,maybe Dead and Buried locations?..Hmmm?

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.

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.

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 KZread 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.

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 love the architecture of the church. This was one of my favourite movies of Carpenter's.

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!

aw thank you. I got chills when I was at the lighthouse. Its incredible what a fantastic awesome view.

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 ! 😃
