The Classic Film: Campfire Tales (1997)
"A group of teens entertain themselves by telling an anthology of famous urban legends with a modern twist; includes make-out-point, monsters, psychopaths, and ghosts” (IMDb.com). Campfire Tales is so forgettable, even the rights holders forgot to distribute it.
The Modern Film: Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019)
"On Halloween 1968, Stella and her two friends meet a mysterious drifter, Ramón, and uncover a sinister notebook of stories” (CBS Films). Like the eponymous books, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is a legitimately creepy genre installment for all ages and interests. But does that mean it's good?
