Features: DVD
Director Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist) pays affectionate tribute to various classic horror movies in this tale of two teenage couples who spend the night in a sleazy carnival funhouse. On her first date with Buzz (Cooper Huckabee), Amy (Elizabeth Berridge) disobeys her father and goes to the carnival with Richie (Miles Chapin) and Liz (Largo Woodruff), but their first date may end up as their last. After witnessing a murder, the four terrified teens are trapped in the maze of the funhouse and stalked by a real monster, a horribly deformed killer who lurks among the freakish exhibits to butcher them one by one. Also known as Carnival Of Terror, it features Sylvia Miles (Midnight Cowboy) as an ill-fated fortune teller and gory special makeup designs by Oscar-winner Rick Baker (An American Werewolf In London, Ed Wood).
"Intense drama..." Leonard Maltin
