I remember only the beginning: a group of young people sit around a fire and begin to tell scary stories. One guy offers up a story that involves a person in a mask who is sitting on someone's shoulders. "Scary huh?" the guy says, and another guy goes, "HELL no." Another person begins a story where someone is looking out her second-floor window and sees a troop of gray soldiers marching up. The lead soldier looks up at her and blood gushes out of his eyes and down his face as he smiles widely. No one thought that was scary either. Finally someone begins to tell his own story, which becomes the movie.
