Grim Prairie Tales is a 1990 American horror film, directed and written by Wayne Coe, and starring James Earl Jones and Brad Dourif. It is an anthology film of four western stories, told by two travellers around a prairie campfire. Morrison is a grizzled bounty hunter carrying a body, while Farley Deeds is a clerk on the way to a romantic reunion with his wife. The first story, told by Morrison, is about an Indian tribe's revenge against the man who desecrates their burial ground. When that tale fails to impress Deeds, the second story, also by Morrison, tells about a man who helps a... seductive seemingly pregnant woman in trouble. Deeds then responds with the only non-supernatural story of the three, about a homesteader family whose father is forced to participate in a lynch mob. Finally, Morrison tells about a gunslinger haunted by a man he kills. The next morning, Deeds points out to Morrison that the body he's carrying doesn't match the description on the wanted poster; Morrison cuts the body loose and rides out.
