Synopsis

What do you think is the most horrible way to die? It was just a simple game, a way for eight young campers to pass the time around the fire-imagining the scariest ways to die... For Billy Harman, it was a room full of slithering, razor-fanged snakes. For Jeff Zack, it was a rotting zombie in his bedroom closet. For Wall Fenner, being eaten alive by hundreds of hungry spiders. Then there were things like care wrecks, earthquakes, and drownings. But the worst way to die was suggested by Lucius Cady, the new boy who was trying to join the club. Maybe he knew something about the evil that was unleashed that night-the evil that would rise up and stalk each boy one by one... "The most horrible way to die is to live with the terrors of your own mind." Lucious told them. "When you die of fright, you die a thousand times." Campfire Story - It's not a game anymore.
