The Collingswood Story is a 2002 American computer screen supernatural horror film written and directed by Michael Costanza, and starring Stephanie Dees, Johnny Burton, Grant Edmonds, and Diane Behrens.

Its plot follows a college-aged couple who attempt to maintain their long-distance relationship via video chatting; however, a chance encounter with an online psychic plunges their lives into a world of nightmarish supernatural phenomena.

[3] Rebecca Miles relocates to Collingswood, New Jersey to attend Rutgers University, renting a room in a historic house.

Johnny, communicating with his friend Billy—also via webcam—is introduced to Vera Madeline, an online psychic whom Billy claims contacted his deceased father.

Vera comments that Collingswood is well-known to psychics and mediums due to grim historical events that occurred there involving a secret society founded by a French immigrant named Alan Tashi.

While perusing the bookshelf in the den of the home, Rebecca finds postcards depicting a wooden shaker toy resembling the one left behind in Alan Tashi's absence.

Vera removes her sunglasses, revealing one glass eye—she explains that she narrowly escaped the cult, who cut out one of her eyes.

Writer-director Michael Costanza developed the idea for the film based on an old news article about a mass murder that occurred in a New Jersey home in the 19th century.

[4] Stephanie Dees, who portrays Rebecca in the film, had previously appeared in a minor part in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) as a child.

Quotes included "A Low Budget Triumph", "Inventive and Frightening", "The Tense Atmosphere is Simply Superb and Unnerving", "Original and Clever", "Unquestionably the Best "Pure" Horror Film of this Year's Frightfest".

[5] In March 2022 The Collingswood Story was featured in the Unnamed Footage Festival and screened at the Balboa Theater in San Francisco.

The Collingswood Story was initially distributed on DVD on June 21, 2006 by film veteran Mo Claridge[6] Anchor Bay UK (which is no longer in business.)

On October 5, 2021, The Collingswood Story was released on Amazon Prime Video as well as on Blu-ray via Cauldron Films.
