Last month, JoBlo.com launched a new weekly documentary series called 80s Horror Memories, with the first episode taking a look back at Maniac, Dressed to Kill, and Alligator. The second episode dove into the franchise-starting slasher Friday the 13th, episode 3 was all about the Stanley Kubrick / Stephen King classic The Shining, and for episode 4 we went dancing with Prom Night. Now the fifth episode is online, and with this one we’re wrapping up our journey through 1980 by taking a look at John Carpenter‘s The Fog (watch it HERE). To see The Fog get the 80s Horror Memories treatment, check out the video embedded above!

New episodes of 80s Horror Memories will be released through the YouTube channel JoBlo Horror Originals every Monday. And next week, we’re diving into 1981!

Here’s the info on 80s Horror MemoriesIt’s been over 40 years that the decade that shaped the horror movie industry began and having lived through most of those years personally, we at JoBlo/Arrow in the Head have decided to create a 10-part documentary series in which not only cover every nook and cranny of the biggest horror themes from 1980 to 1989 but also what was happening in the world at the time. Join us as we walk down Horror Memory Lane!

And here’s the info on this particular episode: The Fog often gets lost in the stacked catalog of John Carptenter, but it’s the perfect ghost film. Betrayal, revenge, and lies all come back to haunt a sleepy little costal town. Strap in because it’s 5 minutes to midnight, time enough for one more story to keep you warm.

This episode of 80s Horror Memories was written by Andrew Hatfield, narrated by Tyler Nichols, edited by Mike Conway, produced by Berge Garabedian and John Fallon, co-produced by Mike Conway and Adam Walton, and executive produced by Berge Garabedian. The score was provided by Shawn Knippelberg. The special guest in this episode is Patrick Lussier (My Bloody Valentine 3D)!
