Insane Underrated Lovecraftian Horror Of Fog (1980) - Explained - John Carpenter's Hidden Gem

If you are a horror movie fan, there's no way you haven't seen or heard of The Fog by John Carpenter, which was released in 1980. This is not just a ghost story. This is more like a nightmare wrapped in Lovecraftian layers that are wrapped in sea mist and vengeance. It does not have Cthulhu showing up on the screen, yes, but this coastal horror has an atmosphere, dread and this sense of ancient wrongs coming out of the abyss. Right after Halloween was released, The Fog changed gears and gave us some ancient, older and weirder horror. So, in this video, we will dive deep into the film's eerie inspiration and understand how this movie managed to give us Lovecraftian horror without even name-dropping the horror maestro.
