John Carpenter Is Taking Us Back Into ‘The Fog’ For New Sequel

John Carpenter took us into The Fog in 1980. Now, we will be returning. The Master of Horror has announced that a sequel to his ghostly film is currently in the early stages of development, ScreenRant reports. And get this, Carpenter is on board for the film. The Fog is set in a coastal California town, Antonio Bay. We watch as mysterious mist envelopes the town as its residents prepare for a centennial celebration of the town’s founding. But the celebration is cut short as the town is invaded by deadly guests, the spirits of mariners who were killed when their ship went down long ago. Carpenter’s film did not get a lot of love when it was released. The 2005 remake got even less, being disliked by critics and viewers alike. But maybe this time things will go more swimmingly. Here’s a look back at the trailer for the original that starred Jamie Lee Curtis and her mother Janet

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Jamie Lee Curtis

Well, here we are, my Little Monsters, it looks as if we’ve all managed to survive yet another Halloween. In fact it’s something that we all have in common with today’s wonderful Woman of Horror. Back in 1978, today’s lovely and talented lady survived an encounter with the “boogeyman” on Halloween night and lived to see another day. I’m speaking of course of the OG scream queen, Jamie Lee Curtis. One could say that Jamie may have quite literally been born to be an actress, as she is the daughter of actress Janet Leigh and actor Tony Curtis. She may also have been somewhat predestined to hold the title as THE Scream Queen, as her own mother Janet played the ill fated Marion Crane, in what is regarded as the seminal film of the slasher sub genre of horror, Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. So it may literally be in the blood. Jamie is a California girl, having been born in Santa

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Adrienne Barbeau

Greetings my Little Monsters. I see you have returned to find out which wonderful woman of the horror genre is in the spotlight today. As you have already seen, this week’s Woman Crush is the immensely talented Adrienne Barbeau. Adrienne is a California girl, born and raised in the city of Sacramento. Her career began when she started touring with the San Jose Civic Light Opera in 1963. It was when she went on tour through Southeast Asia with a musical comedy revue, to provide entertainment for military personnel, that Adrienne truly fell in love with acting. She moved to New York in the late 60’s to further pursue her dream of acting. And as many actors and actresses must do, she took a job that would pay the bills while auditioning for roles. One job she held while living in New York, was as a go-go dancer for a particular infamous organization. I won’t give their name, but I’ll
