The Mist
Fear. Human. Nature.
Created by Christian Torpe
On Spike
A claustrophobic horror series that weaponizes both supernatural dread and human cruelty, trapping a fractured family in psychological and physical isolation.
A small town family is torn apart by a brutal crime. As they deal with the fallout an eerie mist rolls in, suddenly cutting them off from the rest of the world, and in some cases, each other.
