From inside the supermarket, they watch police cars speed down the street. A terrified local, Dan Miller, runs into the store and warns of a danger lurking in the mist. As a civil alert siren sounds, store managers Ollie Weeks and Bud Brown close off the supermarket, and the mist envelops the store. One woman leaves to go home to her children.
- The story was inspired by a trip to a grocery store. The story of The Mist dates all the way back to 1976, when King was trying to think of a short story to contribute to an upcoming anthology called Dark Forces.
- It’s part of a very long creative relationship between Stephen King and Frank Darabont. Though King and Darabont’s most famous collaboration is probably 1994’s The Shawshank Redemption, their professional relationship actually goes back much further.
- It was almost Darabont’s first feature film. After making “The Woman in the Room” into a short film, Darabont began establishing himself in Hollywood as a screenwriter, working on horror films like A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), The Blob (1988), and The Fly II (1989).
- King held the rights for Darabont for years. Though Darabont ultimately decided to adapt The Shawshank Redemption, and later The Green Mile, he kept holding onto The Mist as a project he’d like to do one day.
