Shout Factory has announced the special features for their release of JOHN CARPENTER’S THE FOG and as expected, this has some great material in addition to retaining the features that were released on the MGM Blu-ray. THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN is bring released on the same day but it sounds like those features are still being worked out. Kind of crazy these titles are being released on the same day. Sandy King Carpenter worked on INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN before marrying Carpenter in 1990 (he was married to THE FOG star Adrienne Barbeau previously). Here’s the release from Shout with all the details.

THE FOG Collector’s Edition Blu-ray™ and DVD
A weather beaten old fisherman tells an ancient tale of betrayal and death to fascinated children as they huddle together by their campfire. As a piece of driftwood in a child’s hands glows with spectral light an eerie fog envelops the bay and from it’s midst emerge dripping demonic victims of a century old shipwreck… seeking revenge.
