The Mist
Low hanging vapor
A 1980 Stephen King novella and its 2007 film adaptation, in which a mysterious mist engulfs a small town, concealing deadly creatures.
The story traps survivors in a supermarket where human nature proves as dangerous as the monsters outside.
Have you seen The Mist? That ending destroyed me.
The phrase has become shorthand for bleak, uncompromising horror.
