Chillers (1987)

After missing their connecting bus, a group of strangers pass the time by describing recent nightmares to each other in this anthology horror film. All five stories (ranging from a camping trip to a college class to watching the evening news) start out innocent enough to be something one would see on the Hallmark channel, but twist into some genuinely creative horror tales. It's obvious this is a low-budget and almost homegrown effort from the director Daniel Boyd, but for a campy 80's flick the standards fit just fine. It's a little tame, but the strength of the stories make this a real hidden gem.
