There is a scene near the beginning of the movie when the mist has just begun. A firetruck roars by, and has Caddo Parish Fire Dept. on the side. This movie is set in Maine. Louisiana is the only state with parishes. All others, including Maine, have counties. See more...

Trivia

During the scene when the monsters enter the store, watch for when the man on fire stumbles into a book rack. All of the books are Stephen King novels. See more...

Right after the storm they go to the supermarket where they are told that the electric is out there too (and no backup generators either). But as they are shopping, you can see that the glass-fronted freezers are lit up. [When David first walks into the store, Sally tells him "Well, it'll keep the food cold, everything else welcome to the dark ages and bring your checkbook." With that statement, she is implying that the generator is powering the refrigeration. ]

When trees fall over from storms, they pull out a large amount of roots and pull up a large circular dirt base from the ground. The trees that fell over after the storm in this movie only had a few roots and no ground pulled up. [Not all trees that fall over in storms pull up large amounts of roots or the huge dirt ball that accompanies the roots. Working in the insurance industry and seeing many fallen trees after storms, the number of roots and whether or not any ground is pulled up, depends on many factors, such as the species of tree, age and height and also the type of ground it's planted in.]

In the pharmacy, Mrs. Reppler uses a can of bug spray and a lighter to make a torch to burn one of the spiders. She takes the lighter away, yet the can continues to spray flame for several seconds. This is not possible. The flammable liquid, even in a military flamethrower, needs a pilot light to continue burning. [Not true. The pilot light is to ignite the torch; it's not needed for continuous burning. Assuming it's being fueled steadily (as holding the button on a spray can will do), the fire will continue to burn. As the liquid expands into gaseous form, it touches the existing fire and ignites. In essence, the fire becomes its own pilot light. What she wouldn't be able to do is re-ignite the torch (once it goes out) without a flame.]
