Once Upon a Time…You’re Dead

A grizzled derelict tells a quartet of horror tales to a trio of young campers.

Not to be confused with the 1997 anthology film also titled CAMPFIRE TALES, this original edition stars the infamous Gunnar Hansen as the grizzled derelict in question telling scary stories to the three teens he finds gathered around a campfire.

Each tale is prompted by something one of the teens does - oh you have a knife? How about a hook-handed killer story? Is that weed you’re about to smoke? Get ready for the only body-horror anti-weed story you’ve ever heard - and while the pacing is a little wonky (as it frequently is in anthology movies), Gunnar’s presence and some ingenious practical effects are more than enough to make this worth any horror freaks while.
