▲ 75 ▼ In the 2007 film The Mist, the titular mist is clearly shown to reduce visibility below 1 kilometre, to be a dense blanket of humidity, and is slow to clear, meaning it is not a mist but a fog.

The ending was really good though. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago* (1 child) While there IS a movie called "The Fog", The Mist is based on a Stephen King story by the same name. He probably didn't go with fog because of another book being published relatively recently (at the time in 1980) called "The Fog" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] miked@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 child) The Mist is a short story from King's book Skeleton Crew. While I have seen the movie I preferred the written version better. I have a poster from this movie in my apartment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago (1 child) Originally it was published in 1980 as part of an anthology, but it was included in his Skeleton Crew collection in '85. I do like the book more for the most part, but I 100% agree with King that the movie ending is better. Stephen King has never been as good at endings as he is with the rest of the story. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] miked@piefed.social 1 point 2 days ago Originally it was published in 1980 as part of an anthology, but it was included in his Skeleton Crew collection in ’85.
