| Cecil explains what the 1952 "Killer Fog" of London was, along with a bit of history on fog lore. |
| The mentioned Stephen King story, "The Mist" in Skeleton Crew, is one of my favorite creepy stories! |

| Feh. As killer fogs go, this one was boorrrrinnng. Just some pollution from too much coal burning and diesel busses, *yawn*. Deadly, sure, but where's the drama? A couple of hundred folks dropping dead a day? Hell, a good Chicago summer can get that for you.
