One hundred years ago, on April 21st, the wealthy leper Blake bought the vessel Elizabeth Dane and moved with his friend from a leper colony to California to build a town for them to live with more comfort. However, while crossing a fog in Spivey Point, they were misguided by a campfire onshore, steering the course of the vessel toward the light and crashing her against the rocks. On the present days, on the celebration of the centenary of the fishing town Antonio Bay, a glowing fog appears, bringing the zombies of Blake and his crew to kill the residents. Father Robert Malone (Hal HolbrooK) finds the hidden journal of his grandfather in the wall of his church, and discloses that Antonio Bay was built with Blake's gold. Further, a group of conspirators including his grandfather lighted the fire to sink Elizabeth Dane and robber Blake's fortune and now the ghosts of Blake and his crew are seeking for revenge on the locals.

The band mentioned on the radio near the beginning is "The Coupe DeVilles", which features director John Carpenter.

Kathy Williams:
Sandy, you're the only person I know who can make "Yes, Ma'am" sound like "screw you".


Sandy Fadel:
Yes, Ma'am.

Revealing mistakes: When one of the sailors peers out of the ship's window for a fog bank in the background, the superimposed fog appears over the edges of the window.
