The Fog

Flashback Friday takes us back to John Carpenter‘s ghost story about vengeful spirits returning to Antonio Bay to enact revenge 100 years after their death.

A flat tire on the way to a Van Expo, and a lift from Batman to a nearby town, provides the start of a new mystery. While Fred spends time with a familiar looking mechanic fixing up the Mystery Machine (and installing some upgrades, one of which we’ll get to see in action), the rest of the gang learn about recent appearances of a Ghost Car around the neighborhood before running into it outside the diner (and almost getting run over).
