SPOILER-FREE SYNOPSIS

After surviving a torrential Nor’easter that rips parts of his home and adjoining properties to shreds, Bridgton, Maine resident and graphic artist David Drayton, his son Billy and wife Steff notice a strange fog rolling in on the lake behind their house. After confirming that his boathouse was crushed by neighbor Brent Norton’s old tree, a source of old resentments, David gathers Billy and Brent into his jeep and heads into town for supplies.  Upon arrival at the  local supermarket, The Food House, into which half the town seems to have crammed, it becomes apparent that the mist is no longer on the lake:  in fact, it’s now is at the doorstep of the supermarket.  Inside the store, we meet a gaggle of characters:  Ollie Weeks and Bud Brown, the store’s co-managers; Mrs. Carmody, a god-fearing woman who’s convinced that Man has brought shame and disgrace upon the world; feisty old Mrs. Reppler, who’s not a fan of Mrs. Carmody; locals Jim, Myron, Hattie, and Ambrose; and Dan Miller, whose frantic first appearance in the store heralds the danger to come.  For there are terrors lurking in The Mist, the stuff of Hieronymous Bosch nightmares, monstrous beings that make even the act of venturing outside dangerous and deadly, and perhaps portend the coming of the apocalypse.

EPISODE NOTES

Music from “The Mist” by Mark Isham.

Scare U

The Mist (2007)

Ding Ding Ding! Get ready to listen to mommy and daddy fight over this one. Is this 1973 classic unforgivably boring or hilariously chaotic? The power of Christ compels you to listen to this episode.

Ep117 - The Exorcist (1973) *revisited*

A most deserving winner of our 'Horror That Isn't Technically Horror" poll, and arguably the most critically acclaimed film we've ever reviewed. Parasite is fast-paced, chaotic, anxiety-inducing, infuriating, thought-provoking, and hilarious. But who is the true 'parasite' here?

Ep118 - Parasite

The hot GenZ Agatha Christie murder satire you've been waiting for.
