No one made horror like John Carpenter. It wasn’t just the man himself (though lord knows he plays a HUGE part); it’s the tight-knit group of collaborators. I can’t imagine watching something like The Fog without the singular cinematography of Dean Cundey, or the editing of Tommy Lee Wallace, or his game cast regular or soon to be regulars like Jamie Lee Curtis and Adrienne Barbeau. You put all that together with the man’s signature keyboard score and yeah – he can make something as innocuous as fog seem terrifying.

Of course it helps to also have ghost pirates with leprosy…you know, to add to the fog’s terror.
