great fun movie...

i saw this movie when i was a child. about 14 years old. i loved it, i still love it as a 23 year old. my friends, brother and sis still quote it. movies are not meant to reach every type of demographic, but this one reaches its target audience perfectly...! kids 8-15, but still fun for the older crowd. it is not a long drawn out plot that you can get bored with in 10 minutes.....the plot is this: 3 young kids telling ghost stories in a tent trying to scare each other. it starts off with a few 1-2 minutes stories to get you into the movie and then carries on to the 2 longer ones. the cheesy acting and the unforgettable scary stories make this a movie to remember and remember and remember...it is very difficult to find this movie on DVD. VHS=yes, DVD=difficult. i have scene it on amazon.com, but none were available. this is a movie you will not likely find in a movie store, so buying it online will be your best bet. if you have children, rent it and it will be a movie they remember 50 years from then......good luck!
