The Funhouse
Still holds up so well, childhood favorite horror film scared the bejesus outta me growing up watching this on late night cable. The premise is simple yet totally engaging a teenage girl lies to her parents who forbid her from going to a traveling carnival, she goes against her better judgment to fit in with her friends. 79
This doesn’t sit well with her because she doesn’t like lying to her father. The peer pressure of attending the carnival ramps up to the double date to sneak of the funhouse ride and stay the night
The atmosphere is eerie and really sets the tone even if the story doesn’t get crazy til the third act. The unmasking of <PERSON> is probably in my top ten most shocking movie moments of my childhood!
