Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe end credits feature a cover of the 1962 song "Monster Mash" by the female-fronted punk rock band Bobsled. Their cover hasn't been released elsewhere, and by the time the film came out in 1997, the band had already split up.
- GoofsDuring "The Hook" segment, as Eddie peels out of their parking spot at Jenny's insistence, the tires are squealing. But the car is clearly on a dirt surface. Tires will squeal when they are on asphalt but not on dirt.
- Crazy creditsThe copyright date in the credits represents neither when the movie was filmed nor when it was first released.
- Alternate versionsThere is a subtitled Swedish DVD release of the film that features a slightly different soundtrack compared to New Line's 2005 American DVD reissue. For example, the musical cue that plays when Eddie discovers the Hook attached to his car reappears in the post-credits scene, whereas in the New Line DVD it does not.

Featured review
Predictable
I you have some taste or even some knowledge about urban legends, you may figure out almost every plot twist of this film. If you don't know about the legends told in this film, you may figure out something too.
The film tells the story of four teens who had an accident and as they wait for some kind of help to come, they start to telling each other horror tales.
"The hook": Is the story that appears as a prologue. Boring, we've seen this a thousand times, and it's too short to create some kind of tension.
"The campfire": This is the main plot story. I figured out the fate of the kids a couple of stories before the end credits started to roll.
"The honeymoon": This is the first story told by the kids. It starts well, but goes down and down. I don't know why there were some secondary characters that didn't had anything to do with the story, instead of focusing on the main couple.
"People can lick too": Coming back to the "urban legend" thing... you can figure out how is this going to end if you know something about them. It had some moments of true tension, however.
"The locket": A kind of ghost story that seems to be from another movie. This is the best story of all. Good acting, good chemistry between the actors and a great plot twist at the end.
After that, wait to the predictable twist at the end of the main story.
It would been good to add more minutes to the last story (The locket) and making a movie with only that tale.
