2014documentaryWhy watch
It is an engaging cross between true-crime investigation and horror folklore from filmmaker Joshua Zeman. The film examines four ubiquitous campfire tales—the hook-handed killer, the poisoned Halloween candy, the babysitter receiving calls from inside the house, and creepy clown sightings—and excavates the unsettling real-life crimes that inspired or mirrored them.
