The Funhouse Reviews

The 1981 film by Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) about the real events that could go on behind the scenes of your local seansonal Funhouse. Nosey kids sneak into a funhouse and stay there overnight to get some kicks, but end up seeing a murder of one of the employyes by another emplyoee after a sex trade goes sour; hey, you can't blame the guy! It happens sometimes, and the Frankenstein's monster masked freak ends up killing a psychic after feeling he didn't get his money worth. Instantly realizing they are over there heads, the group decides to get out of the funhouse while they still can; if they can. The movie drags a bit, but once the woman loses her life, the thrills start to it you and Horror kicks back into play. Overall, one of my favorite, though I felt more could have been done with the funhouse itself as well as it's Characters. I dont ever see that clown on the cover which makes no sense, that clown is creepy and weilding an axe that makes the plot of this movie look like it'll go a completly different way, more like the After Dark Film entitled "Dark Ride". Still a good flick, I got to get it signed by Tobe Hooper and he made it out to Shawin instead of Shawn, Douchbag. :)

Liz Duncan: She's stoned. When you're stoned, *Charles Manson* is a terrific guy.
