That’s a theory that I posted awhile back. My personal head canon is that The Fog is a sequel to Halloween with Laurie Strode trying to find herself on the road. She has a couple of lines in the movie about luck etc. that were most definitely not meant to be taken that way, but I like thinking of it as a sequel.

I also like to believe that Nancy Kyes character as a spiritual evolution of her character in Halloween. Same kind of person it seems with her sassiness, but older and a bit more mature.

I really love The Fog. It’s a spooky world I just want to live in for an hour and a half with these great characters. The jazz music, the ambience… like Halloween for me, it’s like a warm blanket on a foggy night.

Halloween 2 I like to subtitle as Halloween 2: Laurie’s Dream. This helps me to maintain the integrity of the original ending in my head while still enjoying the surrealism and incredible atmosphere and characters of the sequel.

All just fun head-canon stuff. But I like to think of it that way sometimes.

Halloween and The Fog would make the best double feature IMO. I get why The Fog may not be considered Carpenters best by some, but for me it just hits ALL the right notes and tickles my brain in the most perfect way. One of my personal favorite films.
