It's been a while, but if I remember correctly the father killed the girl and the boyfriend (and possibly himself) when he caught them together. The situation was just replaying itself over and over again in a sort of time warp.
If I'm wrong someone please confirm what was really going on. -

The way I interpreted the story was, Scott was the reincarnation of Heather's dead boyfriend (this is why he wandered on his bike, as explained in the voiceover he felt like something was out there for him, but he just didn't know what so he roamed aimlessly cross country).
What was missing was Heather. He eventually stumbled back upon the farmhouse though with no memory of what had happened previously.
Heather's reaction was kind of ambiguous. She let him inside very quickly, and didn't seem concerned he could be even the slightest bit dangerous. This leads me to believe that she probably recognized him or at least that he resembled her dead boyfriend. It's also why she kissed the guy so soon after they met, right after he told her that he felt strange, like he knew her and that house. That was probably her cue that he was a reincarnation.
Heather was trapped in the house replaying the night of the murder again and again. That's why you could hear her AND her boyfriend screaming when her father killed them.
Scott would have had his second chance with Heather if he hadn't removed her necklace. She was a ghost. However, like the original ghost story that the segment was based on, the necklace kept her head attached to her body. It's just that in the old story, her head was severed by the guillotine, not her father's axe. -

Yeah, it wasn't the clearest story, but it was still a good one.
Quite different from the story I'm familiar with though. I remember the story of the girl with the green ribbon or however it was called. It's in a children's book called
In a Dark, Dark Room
. The girl grew up with a young boy friend and he would ask her why she always wore the green ribbon wrapped around her neck. They grow up and marry and then on her death bed, she tells him he can untie the ribbon and her head falls off.
So it's similiar, in the way of the necklace holding her head on, but it's such a vast difference. I liked the Campfire Tales version, but it doesn't flow as well because it had to be a short story. I think if it'd had more time, it could have been clearer.
