One story is about a <a href="/wiki/Clipper_ship" class="mw-redirect" title="Clipper ship">clipper ship</a> that crashed against the rocks nearby, causing all of its crew to drown after mistaking a campfire for a lighthouse while sailing through an unearthly fog. Machen finishes the story as midnight strikes and paranormal activity begins occurring around the town. Town priest, Father Malone, discovers his grandfather's diary. The journal reveals that a century earlier, in 1880, the 6 founders of Antonio Bay (including Malone's grandfather) deliberately <a href="/wiki/Wrecking_(shipwreck)" title="Wrecking (shipwreck)">wrecked</a> a clipper ship named the <i>Elizabeth Dane</i>, so that its wealthy, <a href="/wiki/Leprosy" title="Leprosy">leprosy</a>-afflicted owner Blake would not establish a <a href="/wiki/Leper_colony" title="Leper colony">leper colony</a> nearby. The conspirators used the gold plundered from the ship to establish the town. </p><p>Meanwhile, out at sea, a strange, glowing fog envelops a fishermen's trawler. The fog brings with it the <i>Elizabeth Dane</i>, carrying the vengeful <a href="/wiki/Ghost" title="Ghost">ghosts</a> of Blake and his crew, who kill the fishermen. The following morning, local radio DJ Stevie Wayne is given a piece of driftwood by her son Andy, who found it on the beach. It is inscribed with the word "DANE". Stevie carries it with her to the <a href="/wiki/Lighthouse" title="Lighthouse">lighthouse</a> where she broadcasts her radio show. As she is listening to music on a cassette, the driftwood begins seeping water. As the water touches her cassette player, a man's voice is inexplicably heard on the tape, vowing revenge, and the words "6 must die" appear on the wood before it bursts into flames. Stevie extinguishes the fire and sees that the wood once again reads "DANE", and the tape is once again playing normally. </p><p>Town resident Nick and hitchhiker Elizabeth find the lost fishing trawler adrift and the corpse of one of the fishermen. Later, while Elizabeth is in the <a href="/wiki/Autopsy" title="Autopsy">autopsy</a> room alone, the fisherman's corpse briefly comes to life and accosts her before collapsing. Nick and coroner Dr. Phibes see the now-lifeless corpse has carved the number 3 on the floor with a scalpel. That evening, as the town begins its celebrations, local weatherman Dan is killed by the ghosts at the weather station. The fog has returned and starts moving inland, disrupting the town's telephone and power lines. Using a backup <a href="/wiki/Electric_generator" title="Electric generator">generator</a>, Stevie begs her listeners to go to her house and save her son. The ghosts kill her son's babysitter but Nick and Elizabeth rescue Andy. </p><p>Stevie advises her listeners to head to the town's church, but then finds herself trapped and under siege by the ghosts when the fog envelops her lighthouse. Seeking refuge inside the church, a group of townsfolk finds a large gold cross in the wall cavity, made from the rest of the stolen gold from the <i>Elizabeth Dane</i>, just as the fog begins enveloping the church and the ghosts begin their attack. Malone, knowing that the ghosts have returned to take 6 lives instead of the 6 original conspirators, offers the gold and himself to spare the others. The ghost of Blake himself seizes the gold cross and he and his crew disappear in a blinding flash of light as the fog miraculously vanishes. Stevie, now alone again at the lighthouse, warns her listeners that the fog could come again and instructs any ships that can hear her to keep an eye out for it. </p><p>After everyone leaves the church, Malone remains inside and wonders why he was spared given that there were 5 deaths. The fog then reappears along with the ghosts, and Blake decapitates Malone, making 6. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Fog&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Adrienne_Barbeau" title="Adrienne Barbeau">Adrienne Barbeau</a> as Stevie Wayne</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tom_Atkins_(actor)" title="Tom Atkins (actor)">Tom Atkins</a> as Nicholas "Nick" Castle</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jamie_Lee_Curtis" title="Jamie Lee Curtis">Jamie Lee Curtis</a> as Elizabeth Solley</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Hal_Holbrook" title="Hal Holbrook">Hal Holbrook</a> as Father Patrick Malone</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Janet_Leigh" title="Janet Leigh">Janet Leigh</a> as Kathy Williams</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nancy_Kyes" title="Nancy Kyes">Nancy Loomis</a> as Sandy Fadel</li> <li>Ty Mitchell as Andrew "Andy" Wayne</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Charles_Cyphers" title="Charles Cyphers">Charles Cyphers</a> as Dan O'Bannon / Dan the Weather Man</li> <li>James Canning as Dick Baxter</li> <li>John F.
