I watched THE FOG this weekend (the original - which surprises me to note. I'd forgotten there was a remake.) I had seen it once before, ages ago.
Then, I watched it again with Carpenter (and Debra Hill's) commentary track. (blu ray)
Fun movie! It reminded me how much fun a Carpenter movie can be. Easter egg references to "Whately Point" and "Arkham Reef." (though, this is a ghost story, not Lovecraftian.) SHOUT! Factory were in the middle of a Carpenter birthday sale, coincidentally. I bought a handful.
On my writer's bucket list, some day I'd like to write a horror/scifi. Put THE THING ("Who Goes There?",) Quatermass, "The Colour Out of Space," and a host of other tales through my personal mental blender and see what comes out.
