Campfire Tales

Campfire Tales (1997) is a horror anthology you can watch online on iFILM. After a late-night car crash strands them near the woods, a group of teenagers builds a fire and starts trading scary stories to pass the time.

Each tale brings a familiar urban legend to the screen: the hook-handed maniac at a parked couple's car, the babysitter and the calls coming from inside the house, a doll that won't stay put. Between the stories, something is going wrong in the friends' own night as well. The cast reads like a roll call of soon-to-be-famous faces — a young James Marsden, Amy Smart, Christine Taylor and Ron Livingston before their breakout years. Three directors split the segments, and the film does exactly what it promises: it retells the campfire creepers you've probably heard for real. No grand ambitions, just a solid pick for fans of late-'90s teen horror. Stream Campfire Tales (1997) online on iFILM.
