Screams of a Winter Night
In the shadow of evil, in the echo of sins. In the icy stare of moonlight, our ghostly tale begins.
Directed by James L. Wilson
Produced by Full Moon Pictures
A 1979 supernatural anthology horror film that uses a cabin-in-the-woods setting and nested storytelling to build dread around a malevolent spirit and the sins of the past.
Ten college friends take a winter weekend camping trip to Lake Durand. The group holes up in an old cabin where the original owners were once found dead, with local Native Americans suspecting they were the victims of a spirit called Shataba. As the group nestles in for the night, they start telling each other scary stories.
