  • Fog Island
    Aug 7 2025

    A large spooky mansion on an isolated, foggy island. A dramatic situation with allegations of embezzlement and murder. George Zucco. Lionel Atwill. All the ingredients that classic horror fans yearn for. A PRC production from 1945 features a fun, if not predictable story. Jim & Livio are your tour guides this episode to the ominous, and dangerous Fog Island. A good story, a good supporting cast led by Ian Keith - this is a PRC film that deserves the Borgo Pass treatment!
