History Main / OminousFog

* The ''Film/PlanetOfTheVampires'' is shrouded in this; even infrared lasers have trouble seeing through it.

* In ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'', Hop wakes up in a car that's a forest covered in fog. Turns out this Fog Car is Silent Hill but on the Infinity Train. Joy.
** The car is revisited in the prequel, ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainKnightOfTheOrangeLily'' and the events in the car are ''darker'' than what happens in ''Blossoming Trail''.

* In ''Fanfic/OSMUFanfictionFriction'', Orla stays behind to guard ''[[DeadlyBook The Book of Ashes]]'' while the others go to The Book Loft, a nearby bookstore. It produces a mist that materializes into a figure of her mother that looks, feels and acts like the real deal. Orla is fooled by this illusion and is quite literally stabbed in the back as a result.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}} 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil's'' very plot involves red fog clouding the sun. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Though it doesn't show up on your screen.]]

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass'', fog rolls in on the ghost ship to emphasize its eeriness.

* ComicBook/{{Storm}} from ''ComicBook/XMen'' is a weather manipulator who sometimes creates a localised EmpathicEnvironment, either [[PowerIncontinence subconsciously]] or to make some sort of point. Fog does not usually bode well.

** ''Film/Godzilla2014'': San Francisco is wreathed in gray fog throughout the scene where Godzilla and the [=MUTOs=] arrive in the city, and it does quite a bit to create an unnerving and ominous atmosphere.

* In ''VideoGame/NoUmbrellasAllowed'', fog rolls into Ajik City during the final week, and people comment on how unnatural it is. The overworld theme also changes to a more sinister one to indicate how ominous the fog is.

* ''Film/TheFog1980'', [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin obviously]]. A mist that descends on a California beach town contains the spirits of a group of people suffering from leprosy who died in a shipwreck a hundred years ago thanks to sabotage by the townsfolk, who did not want them establishing a leper colony nearby. Now, they're back for revenge.

* ''Film/{{Great Expectations|1946}}'': Spooky fog helps set a foreboding mood for Pip's first encounter with Magwitch the escaped convict in the graveyard, and his second encounter, when he brings the food and the file that Magwitch told him to get.

* ''VideoGame/{{Valheim}}:'' Skeleton-haunted houses tend to be surrounded in blue fog which appears before the house and skeletons do.

* In ''Film/JurassicParkIII'', an entire sequence takes place in an area filled with this. Some of the fog around the upper level of the area clears well enough for Alan Grant to see that the area is a huge aviary...which can only mean that whatever is in there is 1) able to fly and 2) ''[[GiantFlyer huge]]''...and then one of [[PteroSoarer said flyers]] snatches up the kid they were trying to save.

%%ZCE * ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Results in a ShipTease with holding hands.

* In ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'', the "colorless mist" is a phenomenon in which a strange, transparent fog descends over an area. It's extremely hard to perceive with the naked eye, only blurring the edges of objects in one's vision. But it's also extremely dangerous, as it scrambles radio, electromagnetic radar, sounds, and smells. Guns will suffer a unilateral drop in effectiveness, electronic locks will cease to work, and all forms of long-range communication will be filled with static. Naturally, this make things exponentially more difficult for a hunter, even if it also reduces the effectiveness of the monsters' tracking systems.
