| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Campfire Stories |
|---|
Two teen boys are driving through a thickly wooded area when they meet up with a beautiful young woman having car trouble. They all end up going for help in the woods, where they come upon Ranger Bill who offers to call a tow truck for them.
While they wait, Ranger Bill invites the teens to make themselves comfortable around a campfire while he tells scary stories. The first story is about an escaped mental patient who works at a high school as a janitor. The kids at the school taunt him which might not be such a good idea. The second story involves another group of teens who follow an old man dressed as an Indian Chief. The third and final story is a foursome of teens who play games like spin the bottle, unaware that someone is watching them.
