<P> Over a hundred extras from Shreveport , Louisiana were included in The Mist . Unlike conventional application of extras in the background of a film , sixty of the hundred extras were interwoven with the film 's ensemble cast . Additional elements giving the film a local flavor include the prominence of local Louisiana brands such as Zapp 's potato chips . Exterior shots of the house at the beginning were in Shreveport . Exterior shots of the supermarket were in Vivian , Louisiana . Also , if looked closely at , the shields on the side of the passing firetrucks early in the film identify them as part of the Caddo Parish fire department . This is possibly a mistake as the film is allegedly set in Maine . </P>
