Campfire Tales1997
“Deep in the woods, no one can hear you scream.”
Directed by Matt Cooper, Martin Kunert
The premise
Anthology of famous, scary urban legends done with a modern twist.
Horror Vault's take
After a car crash strands a group of teenagers in the dark woods, they gather around a campfire and trade spine-chilling tales drawn from some of horror's most enduring urban legends. Each story unfolds with a contemporary 1990s edge, turning familiar folklore into vivid, unsettling vignettes. The wraparound framing keeps the dread building between segments, blurring the line between campfire myth and genuine threat.
