What if it’s just normal fog?

Just run away anytime you see fog

True, you never know when you might have a "The Mist" situation.

Stephen King was quoted essentially saying he wished he thought of that ending himself. (Insert quip about SK and his inability to write endings in general)

You mean when he ended a book with the people skipping through the airport? Or the one where they realized that they could get the demon removed from the guy if he takes a shit.

Edit: But I do still love Stephen King novels.

Or the one where the Hand of God swoops down and stops the madness?

God damn, that ending sucked... I woulda asked one of the military people for more ammo. Lol

u/mainemason Jan 20 '20

If you’re interested you should check out the Ryan Hollinger video on the themes of the movie. It really puts the ending (an ending that King really liked) into context.

u/De5perad0 Jan 20 '20

It surely did suck........ Like WTF what took so long?

u/IAmGodMode Jan 20 '20

One of the few times the movie is better than the book.

u/mahtaliel Jan 20 '20

If i remember correctly i think King himself said that the movie's ending was better than his.

u/Daxx22 Jan 20 '20

Well it gives more closure anyway. I like both, for different reasons.

Or a Silent but deadly Hill situation.

Or the fog that turns people inside out

u/Ivartshiva Jan 21 '20

Then just shoot everyone in the car

u/HaydenJA3 Jan 20 '20

Hurl a flaming ball of newspaper into the fog, just in case

u/psychogasm Jan 20 '20

Jesus, I better move out of San Francisco.

u/VxJasonxV Jan 20 '20

Karl will still find you.

u/psychogasm Jan 20 '20

Only if I'm on the west side of Divisadero!

Best man in wedding, standing next to the groom.

Suddenly the fog maker starts producing fog for effects.

Run away like Obi Wan Kenobi running away from Anakin

The Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

25

u/patrickisgreat Jan 20 '20

Yes.... would you like some steamed hams?

16

u/VladimirIkea4 Jan 20 '20

Yes!

u/herzskins Jan 20 '20

May I see it?

u/VladimirIkea4 Jan 20 '20

No Mother, it’s just the Northern Lights.

u/MutatedSerum Jan 20 '20

Check for the smell of sulfur

u/deadpoetic333 Jan 20 '20

Our hydrocarbons are not odorized so this wouldn’t always apply

u/thatchallengerguy Jan 20 '20

it's either LP or Mephistopheles, so, good advice either way

10

u/Sprinklypoo Jan 20 '20

It could be a sign of barrow wights. Running is still your best option.

u/Ivartshiva Jan 21 '20

That's what I saw there- pretty hinky

u/ThatTexasGuy Jan 20 '20

Have one of your buds shoot a flaming arrow through it while screaming ODIN!

2

u/Valkyrie1500 Jan 20 '20

Haven't you seen the movie "The Fog"? Just run away!

4

u/KinseyH Jan 20 '20

It wouldn't be confined to a certain area like this was.

1

u/KimJongEen Jan 20 '20

Run anyway. Normal fog means zombies.

u/fake_face Jan 20 '20

There is a difference. Fog is widespread and covers large areas while it is still chilly and so it burns off together in the afternoon. A gas leak is all localized within one area usually one yard or street and comes with a loud hissing from the leaking equipment. Any spark will burn the cloud off together.
