Five young couples descend upon spooky old Lake Durand for some rest and recreation.

To pass the time on a windy winter night, the bunch spins a trio of gruesome yarns:

A bigfoot creature stalks the isolated woods...

A haunted hotel gives frat boys a run for their money...

And a psychotic young woman lets loose her pent up fury...

But when the chilling stories are all done, will the group find a horror all their own awaits them...is this terror all too real?

Screams actually musters a certain rough-edged believability, thanks to the average looking amateurs who dot the cast.

The green light zombie in the sophomore 'tale' manages a truly frightful moment, while the climax sequence is proof positive of the power that imagination can exert over the confines of a low budget.

Also known as Howlings of a Winter's Night.

Worth seeking out.
