Father Malone
Background
Malone is an Anglican priest in Antonio Bay, California. His grandfather was Father Patrick Malone.
During the events of The Fog (1980) played by Hal Holbrook
Bennett tells Father Malone that he is done for the day. Bennett asks if he can get paid and Father Malone tells him to show up two hours later the next day. A piece of the church wall falls down and Father Malone finds a journal inside from Father Patrick Malone written in 1880. He starts to read it starting on the day of 30 April. Kathy Williams finds Father Malone and he shows her the journal and reads to her and Sandy Fadel the contents, starting from December 9. The journal talks about how Blake offered to give money to the town if they would allow him and other members of his leper colony to move near the town of Antonio Bay. It continues that the father and five other town members planned the deaths of Blake and his fellow lepers.
Father Malone continues to read from the journal which details the night Blake and the others died off the rocks of Spivey Point. On the anniversary, Nick Castle, Elizabeth Solley, Andy, Kathy, Sandy and Father Malone go to the basement. Father Malone reads the journal further and finds out that his ancestor stole the gold from the townspeople and used it to make a golden cross, which he finds in the church wall near where the journal fell out. He walks towards the Ghosts carrying the golden cross and calls for Blake. The Ghost of Blake grabs the golden cross and then he and the other Ghosts disappear and the fog slowly recedes. Later, Father Malone wonders why he wasn't killed, and then has his head cut off by Blake's Ghost.
