John Carpenter’s filmography is full of hits through the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. One of those films is The Fog. The film was so popular, it spawned a remake in the mid-2000’s and its safe to say, the remake is nowhere near the original entry. The film told the story of strange, glowing fog that swept over a small coastal town in California, bringing with it the vengeful ghosts of mariners who were deliberately killed in a shipwreck 100 years before.
With Halloween receiving a direct sequel from David Gordon Green in 2018, there’s been talk of a similar approach to John Carpenter’s other films, and while speaking with NME recently, Carpenter confirmed that could include The Fog.
There’s been talk of a sequel to The Fog. There’s been talk of sequels for a bunch of my movies. They just haven’t happened yet because of various reasons. But yeah, we’ve talked about them and I’m open to them.
I would absolutely be down for a sequel to The Fog, as the film could fall in line with the atmospheric horror films we are accustomed to today.
