IMDB Page
A group of students spends a night in a cabin telling urban myth styled stories. The first 'Moss Point Man' is a tale about a couple getting stalked by a big foot styled maniac. The next 'the Green Room' follows three frat pledges as they spend the night in a creepy old house as part of an initiation. The last 'Crazy Annie' is about an uptight college girl who murders a date that comes on too strong for her. The film ends with the students scared out of their minds after the night of creepy tales, as a strange wind rips through the cabin.

Tame by most horror anthology standards, aimed at the PG market. Screams of a Winter Night still has a few brief moments offering genuine chills. It's notable to horror genre fans as well because it was the first film produced by Full Moon Productions.

(6 out of 10)
