Having seen John Carpenter’s scare classic THE FOG, we have a pretty good inkling of what’s going to happen in next month’s big-screen remake. But what happened before the events in THE FOG?
STAR WARS: EMPIRE writer Scott Allie and BOOK OF THE DEAD artist Todd Herman will provide the answer as Dark Horse releases an authorized 88-page comic book one-shot serving as a prequel to the new film. Also conveniently titled THE FOG, the “bizarre story about a Chinese curse and a town plunged into a walking-dead nightmare” hits stores Oct. 5.
Here’s the official plot description: “A group of Shanghai traders have come to America hoping to escape a string of weird deaths at the teeth and claws of unseen monsters. The arrival of a strange yet familiar fog reveals that the curse has found them, but even they don’t know what that has to do with a pyromaniac refugee from the Civil War, the disappearance of one of their sons, or the terrible change coming over the Americans in this small seaside town.”
THE FOG is up for pre-order now.
