Childhood Terror

I can't believe they went and did it... they have remade the one movie that haunted my dreams for years as a pre-teen: John Carpenter's The Fog.

The original had Adrienne Barbeau and Jamie Lee Curtis, (the queens of 80's horror), and Pirate Zombies (!). The new version has Tom Welling, from Smallville, and Selma Blair, and probably a lot of CGI fog banks that will end up looking like they were left over from The Mummy if the trailer is any indication.

My heart leapt at the title, but the execution is leaving a lot to be desired.

    What is it about this movie? Jess says the same thing about it scaring/haunting her.

    It was one of the first horror movies that either of us saw, (you can thank Lynn for showing it to us by the way). It came out in 1980, and we saw it on video, so I was...12 maybe? It's a pretty lame movie looking back now, but it was scary then!

    Michelle? YOU wanna tackle him this time? He obviously doesn't get that I've been in a summer camp atmosphere for three months and have learned all sorts of dirty pranks that I can play when I get home.
