John Carpenter's The Fog (1980) - Filming Locations - Then and Now - Horror's Hallowed Grounds

Horror's Hallowed Grounds: Episode 7 - John Carpenter's The Fog (1980). Episode 7 of John Carpenter's The Fog was shot at the same time as Episode 6 of The Howling. Both in Northern California, Buz and I spent a few days there shooting both episodes. It was a lot of fun. There are lots of great stories to be told about this one. I'll get to those if and when I record audio commentaries for these. SUBSCRIBE → bit.ly/2TAyK0B

RIP father Malone he died this year few weeks ago

[@Gunny_101st]

Saw this movie on opening day. One of my all-time favorites growing up. When I found out I lived just under 2hrs from this location I went the very next day. I've walked the lighthouse stairs numerous times.

[@doctorsocrates4413]

One of my favourite john carpenter films..his older stuff was great.

[@paulloughlin3732]

I love all of Robert's cameos!!!

[@j.d.contreras392]

He's cool. I agree. I wish he would do A nightmare on elm street 2 already.

[@TheSheehanjr]

@@j.d.contreras392 Same here I would love to see a Nightmare on Elm st 2 fliming locations

[@wm1982]

It's really funny, that Robert pretty much got more screen time with this little cameos than he would have gotten even if you had done a Nightmare 2 one

[@briang7307]

Robert Rusler need to be in all of your videos. He's like your Stan Lee in the videos and he's hilarious.

[@cressi777]

Love to see Vamp 1986 filming locations with Robert Rusler.

[@bas6628]

Loved to see Robert Shaw's quint narrate the Indianapolis story to the kids... Lol

[@joanna7350]

lmao I was thinking "that's not from the fog!" at the beginning until I realized... LMAO

[@dangerouswomenseries]

Your John Houseman send up had me laughing. Great episode. One of my favorite films.

[@rosemaryfarell5264]

Robert Rusler still AWESOME.

[@Grandizer8989]

Usually when you see a beach, it looks warm and inviting and makes you want to spread out a blanket. Not the beach in the opening scene. It looks lonely, and desolate. Perfect look for the movie.

[@DzHarryNuttz]

I always got an H3 vibe from The Fog. And I love how JC used a lot of the same actors/actresses in a lot of his movies. Thank You Sean, all of your vids are tip top!

[@94champs]

Same here. Both are 2 of my favorite horror movies ever. I liked H3 before it became "cool" to like it. Back when the Halloween 3 geocities page was up and running in the 1990s!

[@DzHarryNuttz]

@Brian_Leetch I have liked it since the mid 80s(like you, before it was cool)but I don't get all the hate it gets, it's a really solid SciFi flick!

[@dominiclattanzi8144]

Nice video! That's not Stinson Beach behind you. It's Point Reyes Beach South also known as Ten Mile Beach.

[@ButcherSevenActual]

Great video! I love the Fog, one of my favorite horror films. Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to visit that beach and the lighthouse. One of these days.. My girl grew up in Sierra Madre, and recognized the church the first time we watched the Fog together. She was a member of that church, and instantly noticed that Father Malone's room was not the same as the actual room in the church. We didn't know it was actually a set. Makes you wonder why Carpenter filmed the bulk of the movie in Northern Cal, but chose to film in a small church several hours south.

[@chuckjones1342]

This is my favorite horror movie. Thanks for bringing these locations for us 💯

[@Wild1995]

I am a new subscriber. The Fog is one of my favorite movies. You do a great job with your videos. The convenience store in the begging supposedly is even more epic that just from this movie. It was a local hang out for Jim Morrison who lived in apartments across the street. My dream someday would be to go to the lighthouse.

[@doggerproductions]

Legend is sean Clark.....up there with tom Atkins 😀

[@robmadrigal714]

My favorite John Carpenter movie of all time!!!

[@Buck3366]

The intro! My God the intro 🤣

[@ForTheRecordaudiophileMichael]

Putting The Fog on now thanks for sharing

[@peterscottodonnell7290]

JOHN CARPENTER, THE MASTRR OF HORROR

[@kathyhatlevig1076]

I just found this. Thank you for doing this cuz fog is one of the best movies ever. John Carpenter is a genius. Truthfully I forgot that the birds were done at this location. It's the fog that stands out to me. Anyway great job and thanks.

[@malfuncsean]

Glad you enjoyed it. It’s an older episode. Shot it in 2014 but happy it’s still getting love.

[@PsychoKillertheGame]

Retired friday from the military after 20 years. Met Sean in london filmcon 2 years ago. This is what i want to do...travel around and see the locations. Excellent content Sean. Top man 👌👍

[@philipholmes5884]

You do great work ! Thanks for bringing back wonderful memories about my youth and favorite movies ! 👍🏻

[@mattlucas3609]

So I just revisited this video and noticed the station wagon in this film is the same kind of wagon from Halloween. The one in The Fog is a 76 Ford LTD, and the one in Halloween is a 78 Ford LTD. Must have been a popular vehicle back then!

[@citygirl5705]

I was too young to get into R rated movies, but I snuck into "The Fog." I loved it. The setting, the music, the atmosphere, the great look of the film. It has a cozy feel to it. And Adrienne Barbeau is really critical to its success. She was just terrific. Taking a hit off her cigarette while looking out at the ocean and saying "It sure beats Chicago." I hate using the word "underrated" but this film didn't get the credit it deserved when it was released. Of course neither did "The Thing" in 1982, which is now rightfully considered one of the greatest horror films ever.

[@carlinmunster5317]

Great videos. Love The Fog.

[@Chrisfeb68]

This is one of my favourite movies. I've always felt that was an underrated movie.

[@donmorton7282]

Now this is a location tour and that Houseman impression was spot on.

[@BoxOfficeManiacs]

Met you last year at Chicago's flashback weekend - I've been a horror fan since the age of 7 and that was my first horror convention. Only got to talk to you for a few minutes, but you were awesome. Got some free stickers, lol and my picture with the legend - Tom Akins !

[@aldoushuxley8239]

Only just discovered your channel and it's brilliant. You should have way more subscribers.

[@malfuncsean]

Thank you! Feel free to spread the word.

[@dramamajor1985]

Thank you for doing The Fog!!!

[@maryannlockwood7806]

My fave movie to watch around Halloween. 🌫️

[@haywoodjablome6645]

Sean, your Houseman impression is perfect!!

[@zachthrasher605]

That was an epic intro!

[@steveng4140]

Your shows are awesome! I appreciate all the work you put in.

[@Roberob1189]

If I lived in an iconic house and I wasn’t sick or super busy. I’d most certainly show people around a lot. And minimum I’d let them get up close. People that take extreme advantage will be dealt with as they come. Usually people like us that like weird shit, we usually are great people and would take the most care.

[@millerman9991]

Such a massive fan of your horrors hallowed ground and of course i have subscribed to your channel. Look forward to seeing your future videos. Stay safe my friend.

[@jeremyv4636]

First time on this channel and it ROCKS! Dude.....your John Houseman imitation was epic! L O L O L

[@mrbrady72]

Visiting ALL of these locations is on my bucket list! Love your work @malfuncsean

[@chrisbryz1652]

Haha donno why but that intro reminded me of when rl Stine did the intro to some goosebumps episodes like the haunted mask. Good stuff went back to watch ur older stuff hoping for more new to come

[@jimcameron1234]

Is better than Halloween in my top 5 best JC Films

[@FFrrEEddRRiiKK1]

Great video and much love to bitter Elm Street 2 guy.

[@roberttasker3323]

Nice job finding all the locations

[@CryptkeeperREVIEW]

Dude, I love your videos, thank you!

[@Slartie24]

Appreciate the production and effort. Excellent attention to detail

[@anadraham2995]

Super FANTASTIC opening brotha‼️‼️‼️ This just might be my favorite of your series 💙

[@somelikeithot444]

Love the movie the fog.Thank u Sean.

[@Sigfrido250966]

Fantastic!

[@davidk8721]

It's about damn time

[@CoscarelliFan]

The "Deli" sign. That should have been added that to your personal collection like you did with the Elrod cutting board. Black Asylum forever.

[@NotMorganFreeman.]

If I was the owner, I would have a reproduction Antonio Bay Gift Corner sign hanging there instead.

[@diegstroX8032]

This is just wicked. Well done 🤙

[@iowa_lot_to_travel9471]

Best Thing in this video is the orange VW. 👍👍😅😅 Kidding. Great work as usual. 👋👋👍👍

[@theresurgence2.081]

Subscribed after I saw this episode featured in the Scream Factory blu ray of The Fog. Also hit the bell to get notifications. 🙂

[@myownprivateglasgow280]

It's not a 'stage' Sean... It's a church in spite of them selling out... that means it's an 'altar'. In spite of this (and your beach shorts), great vid ;)

[@juliusanderson4528]

I love this series!

[@mrmrgaming]

Making some very cool Carpenter videos, very shocked you don't have more subs.

[@kaffeice7]

jaaaaaaaaa hahahah love it! the intro and utro mindblowing!! hah i could watch this stuff all the time

[@Glock181]

That intro is gold dude! hahaha

[@cfx5000]

Awesome.

[@LSUfan]

Suggestion: all Horror's Hallowed Grounds videos description should list all the addresses referenced in the video.

[@tommyphillips6584]

Was one of my first horror movies I got to go see. Made a trip out west in ‘19 and made to Pt Reyes. Unfortunately wasn’t able to get to the lighthouse as it was being renovated. Great video.

[@JohnnyBeane]

Wow! Great film and had no idea it was filmed so close to where i am!

[@Ryu_Shotokan]

It's funny seeing Robert Russell 😂

[@Mascal991]

Nice video...from Italy

[@gospelgrace2693]

Sean, you are so funny dude! Awesome!

[@onob0201]

I’ve been dying to visit these spots

[@bryantburnette3060]

Oh, audio commentaries, most definitely.

[@Vermin141]

Love this series bro, subscribed! Just wondering, what is the song you used for the intro?

[@CJ-ej6mo]

Not My Problem by The Heathens

[@ryline666]

Dude, awesome ALL hoodie! Nice to see another horror-hound who's into prestigious punk rock too, rock on!

[@NickP]

So good haha. You basically do what I do, only better. I need a camera man lol. My new favorite channel.

[@blaze2001]

Robert Rusler is still handsome after all these years :) Go Rob!

[@OscarHernandez-dm7hp]

The original fog was a creepy movie but was good

[@MegaAli213]

Hilarious, you need your own comedy platform 😂🤣😅💯

[@vhslaughterhouse931]

Robert rusler is awesome! Wish he'd come up to seattles crypticon.

[@Tylors_Vids]

Really cool hoodie! What brand is that? I want one

[@DstrtdMnd]

What a great intro haha

[@garymangan312]

quality youtuber not many out there big fan

[@peterscottodonnell7290]

Got this in blue ray,can't find the 2005 version anywhere, Mary Grace was in that version

[@rcrites]

You know, I’ve never seen this movie or the thing. I want to. Just never had had the chance.

[@genther6668]

What never seen the fog or the thing?

[@LeeTheVet]

THE THING is an absolute must. There is a prequel to that now out as well.

[@BenGi-yj8io]

If Halloween 3 was a stand alone like the fog, it would’ve been just as successful as Halloween 1

[@dfa3366]

That is not Stinson Beach. That long stretch is called Pt. Reyes Beach. Stinson Beach south of Pt. Reyes. They did show in the opening credits Stinson Beach but the lighthouse in not near it.

[@zerocool411]

Nice intro man

[@GabrielGomez-il1sg]

That intro had me laughing my butt off

[@j.d.contreras392]

THERE. I subscribed. Now please do A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 already. Sheesh. Thanks man.

[@tomlichnofsky.7048]

Adrianne Barbeau - Jamie lee Curtis - Nancy Loomis. 😎 lol Awesomeness!! ✊👊🍁

[@peterdean9181]

Look for the Lion's head on the rock to find the location of the coin

[@Sreybk]

ALL hoodie

[@robertvital6961]

Did you do the location for phantasm?

[@malfuncsean]

I haven't done it as a video episode but I did do it as a written article with photos in HorrorHound Magazine.

[@allright]

It's been over 10 years and he still hasn't done Nightmare 2, wouldn't be funny if he did, and Robert shows up late right after they filmed everything, man that would really piss him off.

[@pauljosham2551]

Sean's great at these videos the fog was an amazing film 🎥 it's a shame they never did a sequel,they did a remake it was not that good 😮as it wasn't John carpenter not a bad attempt though

[@amstel5468]

Can somebody please tell me what a "stomach pounder" is 🤔

[@gorgeouspaulwalker4372]

The fog John Carpenter was the best xxx hate remakes

[@joanna7350]

it would have been funny if you picked up Robert rusler hitchhiking and he didn't shut up about NOES 2.

[@abel7040]

😄

[@j.d.contreras392]

Why don't you just do A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 already?!

[@Sreybk]

@malfuncsean Special thanks to Gene Simmons? THAT Gene Simmons? What for?

[@malfuncsean]

Granting permission to wear KISS t-shirts. That's it.

[@Sreybk]

@@malfuncsean Heaven forbid a fan doesn't clear it with him. I've often wondered how The Melvins got away with their "Army" shirts.

[@akiaro_com]

Hook I mean Robert is so nasty. Daggers!

[@genther6668]

Didn't carpenter have his honeymoon at this location?

[@johnbeechy]

while watching this wonderfully produced, directed, performed vlog i came across a long winded Ad about using AI controlled vehicles and they go into how the line of sight is handled where there is no line of sight./ infrastructure with tech like radar can communicate with the A I vehicles. so they claim// Block Chain with the russian hackers and there are Korean anti sony pictures hackers too and there are single cell types that want their own personal form of celebrity, neo Nuts, watt steam engine they want to play out, en act... i am not against the Possibility of using Block Chain tech and use for vehicle use/ but there are a lot of dreamers out there (supertramp) that really are acting without any regard for any human decency and totally beyond the Pale in their spitting aim. Hope is not a tactic.... and with all them Great White Shark Shareholders out there, banking on the sheep as the sheep die at over 2000+ per day. Its almost a Pearl Harbor each day out there and Block Chain(s) wont end that reality Check Your distance I understand their Deal../. but they should be selling the tech to the truck drivers.... myop. offer the independent drivers a trade in for their older non self driving model with a better than trade in value and Lend them the cost to buy the truck... get the truckers on side.. using them with one driver inside sleeping.. and there will be less trouble changing the world to TRON ad is over... so back to the movie location.
