Directed by horror film icon, Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist) and starring a fella called Cooper Huckabee, witness Carni-folk wierdness in all it's glory. Or at least some of it.
Plot: Four teenagers go to the carnival, fully aware of the stigma attached to this particular tour- a couple of people going missing just a few months prior. Amusing themselves smoking weed, riding amusements, having their futures read and looking at natures mistakes in jars (including a two headed cow-alive). Getting a touch adventurous, the kids decide to camp over night in the 'fun-house'. Problem being, they witness a fang-toothed mutant bloke receiving a hand job from the fortune teller (that's pretty bad, but there's more), he kills her and then the mutants dad and him set after them and use the elements of the fun-house to 'get em'.
There could have been so much more made of this film. Real Carni's for a start and making the mutant scary might have been a good idea too.
Line of the film: "Shit, I'll find my own hole!"
Budget: $?
Gross: $7,886,857
Fun Fact: Sylvia Miles (our fortune teller hooker) was actually nominated twice for an Academy Award...not for this film I might add though.
