The genre found its answer in reinventing the past with Wes Craven’s meta slasher,Scream.
Being an anthology film, it was nothing likeScream.
This is because of its young cast of breakout stars.

What’s different here is that none of these names is the main star.
It has some strange editing choices along with over-the-top acting, and the lack of a budget shows.
Still, this was the first film for co-directorsMartin KunertandEric Manes, so it’s understandable.
Made up of five short films, the focus is only on the immediate horror.
After all, no one can be hurt or killed because it’s just a story.
Campfire Talesis available to watch on Tubi.
