Grim Prairie Tales1990

Horror Vault's take

Two strangers sharing a campfire on the desolate American frontier challenge each other to a battle of nerve through increasingly dark and disturbing tales. This anthology Western weaves together stories that tap into the raw, lawless dread lurking beneath the open plains. Featuring a remarkable pairing of James Earl Jones and Brad Dourif, the wraparound itself crackles with menace long before the tales reach their conclusions. A rare and underappreciated hybrid of Western and horror, it finds terror not in haunted houses but in the vast, indifferent wilderness.
