2nd time I’m watching this review and loving it even more. Spot on! I wrote the movie. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it when a critic gets it right. Thanks again! Continued success. “Scare on!”
Very underrated movie by Tobe Hooper. It had all the right elements for a great horror movie: atmosphere, acting, directing, and pacing. Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel both praised the movie! Thanks for your review and remember: "God is watching you."
@@gabeluvsmakeup i actually happen to collect Koontz. It is very good, was originally disappointed that the film wasn't closer to the source material but I've gotten over it.
Mother Mayhem Just to set the record straight, the book is based on the script which I wrote. You can read all about it in the new afterward in Dean’s amazing novel. Keep the faith. Check me out on IMDb. Thanks!
@@gabeluvsmakeup Ikr? The Final Girl and the antagonist were half-brother and sister! And unless I am mistaken, one of the stillborn, hideously deformed babies in the freak show was the child of the Final Girl's mother and the father of the antagonist. I could Google their names and such but I'm kinda drunk right now. But I did buy the book when this movie came out...
I love this movie. It scared the crap out of me as a kid. I hadn’t seen it in years and one day I found it on scream factory and immediately bought it. A forgotten gem from the early days of early 80s horror. This movie is one of the best.
Dean Koontz did a novel of the screenplay. Apparently the book came out before the movie because of times with production. The book really fills out the story and background of what is going on.
I saw The Funhouse ages ago and really enjoyed it. I'm fascinated by carnivals and think things are much more interesting, when set at a carnival. That's probably why American Horror Story's Freak Show season is still my favorite of all 8 seasons.
I saw this movie when I was a kid at a drive in movie theater on halloween night. It was a double feature with Halloween II. The Funhouse is an awesome, movie, thanks for doing this review.
Great video as Always, I just got the scream factory blu ray for Xmas so I got to re watch it and the great audio commentary but I use to watch this on VHS EVERY October in high school. It's a great script, great performances and the deaths are genuine, I feel for the characters but every October in my hometown we have a big carnival so it always stuck out to me. LOL the cows his mom I never thought of that.
Only seen this once, and i must say that The Funhouse is an excellent film. I loved the make up effects applied to Gunther, he looked so grotesque and the drool dripping from his mouth looked so real. I'm a big fan of old school amusement parks; there's just something about that captivates me and i wish there were a lot more horror movies set in them. Love the different coloured lighting used throughout the film and the acting by Kevin Conway was one of the highlights for me. Definitely recommend you getting the scream factory release with bonuses. Another good review Lee!
There is actually a novelization of this out there. I read it, gosh...a few years ago. I think it was written once the movie came out. And gives you more backstory. It's really good.
You should read the book, the backstory of the barker and his pursuit for revenge against Amy's mother would make for a great reboot.@DrumdumsMovieReviews
Yes, Lee! The second I saw this posted, I *HAD TO* watch. I love The Funhouse! It's so fun, creepy, slasher-rific, early 80s awesomeness! So unknown & thus, underrated. I'm excited that your video review & social media posts are destined to improve upon the cult status of this gem! Awesome review (as always)! ✊🏻👌
Still one of my favorites! I also bought the movie-tie in book! A great night for me is watching Funhouse followed by Hell Night with Linda Blair! Perfection!
I saw the movie when I was a little kid back in the early 90s. I still remember how much scared I got, especially when the monster put off the frankie mask.
Awesome review Lee! I actually really liked this movie. And mentioning Tobe Hooper I just watched a movie of his yesterday. Lifeforce one of my favorite movies of all time.
I’m SO glad you watched and enjoyed it. It’s great that you appreciate older flicks. I love carnival, circus horror settings and this one is right up there. You mentioned Hell Fest, which I haven’t seen, but I LOVED Blood Fest (similar concept). You should check it out. Great review Lee. ❤️❤️❤️🎃🎃🎃
@DrumdumsMovieReviews I am old to this video and comment but I just watched this movie with my wife and absolutely loved it. I was really impressed with it. Totally different and really hit all the key elements of a great classic horror film. It is really well done in my opinion. Great review as well Lee. 👍
Great Review Lee! I love The Funhouse and I was happy to hear that you loved it too! I really love how this Movie is BOTH a Slasher Movie and a Monster Movie as well! 😎👍
Glad to see your review on this one Lee. I loved this when I was a kid. I even read the Dean Koontz novel which this movie was based on. There is something about carnivals and horror that go great together. Anyways, still hoping to get a review on the April Fool's Day film!
You might wanna check out the movie Dark Ride. It came out with the first batch of After Dark Horrorfest movies. You’ll recognize the main girl in it from the Sopranos.
Great review Lee. 1981 is my favorite year in horror. The Funhouse is a very, very good slasher movie. There was just one major aspect of the film that holds it back for me to rank it as a classic. Spoilers: It was the subplot of Amy's little brother Joey. The actor who played him was great, I really liked his character, but he actually has a lot of screen time devoted to him running around alone at the carnival and it doesn't go anywhere. He just gets picked up by his parents in the end. I thought what should have happened, or where I thought the movie going to go but didnt, was that Joey and Amy where going to join forces to slay the monster. It would have been a great story arc for both character's as they didnt get along in the beginning of the movie and it would have been perfect to show how much they needed and loved as each other to get out of an awful situation and to strengthen the family bond of brother and sister. Aside from that, the Funhouse is a very good horror. One peg below being a classic. If you want a good Tobe Hooper/John Carpenter team up, watch the anthology Body Bags
Loved it I refused to go to another carnival haunted house for years after watching the funhouse lol i went to my first haunted house about 3 years ago when i was 35 lol
I love this movie and greatly enjoyed this review. Dean Koontz wrote the novelization for this movie, also called The Funhouse, and in it it's revealed that Amy and the little boys mother had a relationship with The Barker years before, which is why she didn't want them to go to the carnival, and the mutated baby that's in the jar in the Freakshow attraction is actually a baby they had together therefore making it Amy's and little boy's half brother.
Another recommendation for you by Tobe Hooper, is his immediate follow-up to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, called Eaten Alive (1976). It has a very TCM (1974) meets Motel Hell (1980) meets Alligator (1980) vibe going on and is underrated as hell. I also really liked the much hated The Mangler (1995) and obviously the much raved Salem's Lot (1979).
Despite I enjoyed the third act, I didn't really like this movie pretty much, but after seeing your review and your points I'm gonna give it a second watch
I love this movie, it has really great atmosphere and I love the music in the opening credits. I remember reading that Eli Roth wanted to remake it a few years ago but thankfully that hasn't happened.
@@DrumdumsOfficial Hi Lee, I discovered your channel about a month ago, I was searching for a review or discussion about a movie I had just watched called Alice Sweet Alice and there you were. Since then I've been catching up on your videos and I just wanted to say that i love the content you make. You seem like a genuinely nice guy and your passion for film really shines, I've even enjoyed your video's about films that im not a fan of because i like hearing your opinion. Keep up the great work mate
Tobe Hooper helped make the slasher genre. And he mixed it with an art house genre. Giving us a messed up movie. Several times lol. Nice to see tobe getting some love. And I swear he is a master of the slow burn movie. And what's ironic is his movie the Texas chainsaw massacre was the biggest inspiration for alien
@@DrumdumsOfficial I was born in 1991 my parents named me after chucky since my dad's name is Charles Lee Thompson. They named me Charles Le'Ray Thompson
Love this movie. Even before the shit hits the fan I find it entertaining because I enjoy the characters and find the carnival stuff entertaining. Only negative I can think of is the child character. His character was pretty inconsequential to the plot. Would of loved to see him sneak into the funhouse also. I think it would of added more suspense to the movie by having Amy trying to protect her brother.
Unfortunately, several key scenes were deleted. Ironically, Joey winds up saving Amy’s life. If you Look carefully, you can see Amy is wearing a shrunken head on her belt. It falls off during the final confrontation, distracting Gunther. That’s when she clobbers him! How do I know. I wrote the script. Check me out on IMDb. Thanks!
Good review Lee, I have only seen this movie once and didn’t like it much. I bought all of the Scream Factory Collector Edition back in June & this is one of them. I do like all the points you brought up though, I’ll have to give it a second watch. Keep up the good work.
Well done! That bestiality angle was particularly interesting and unique! I don't think I've heard any other reviewer of this flick mention THAT item. I have, myself, always been struck by the deformity link between the cow and the monster though.
I don't think that BEASTIALITY can PRODUCE OFFSPRING in REAL LIFE since the chromosomes are different ( though I'm not 100% SURE, I may be wrong about that ), but THIS IS a MOVIE after all, and you are right about that shared deformity between the sideshow cow and the killer, . .. very good observation there. The only other fictional case of monster children being born from interspecies couplings that I know of is in Sade's novel 120 Days of Sodom. ONLY problem that I had with this flick, .. . HOW the hell did this presumably MOBILE funhouse of this TRAVELING carnival have a BASEMENT ( 8:17)?!
tobe hooper'ın texas chainsaw massacre ve salem's lot arası filmi eaten alive etkileride var the funhouse'da.80'lerin ve tobe hooper'ın en değeri bilinmeyen filmlerinden. ben çok severim. dört genç karakterin içlerinde bile kötü yok ve sonuna kadar mücadele etmeleri hoşuma gidiyor. psycho'da ki duş sahnesine ve halloween'ın açılışına, aynı sahne içinde saygı duruşunda bulunarak başlıyor filmimiz. hatt salem's lot'ta ki mark petrie'nin odasını andıran bir oda sahnesiyle onu da anmış olur. final kızı ve canavarın son kapışması iki kaybeden'in savaşı. sadece canavar biraz daha çok kaybeden.
Great review always enjoyed The Funhouse, still have the Betamax for it! Planning to get the Scream Factory BluRay soon! Still think your abet to hard on Hell Fest Lee!
@@DrumdumsOfficial One thing I will give Hell Fest it's suspense, tension and buildup rivals Halloween 2018! Both films have a manikin room scene and the way the killer reveals himself is the way Michael should have revealed himself in Halloween 2018!
Wow, the creatures that they used in this movie kinda reminded me of the zombies they used for MJ's Thriller music video. lol I don't know, that's just me. lol
Tobe Hooper was such an underrated director.
He has a way of making PG-13 films like Texas Chainsaw look gory or disturbing.
Its so PG, its not even gory, you don't see anything.
Remember it was banned also, which is silly when you watch the film.
I’ve gotta take a look it really intrigued me💯
2nd time I’m watching this review and loving it even more. Spot on! I wrote the movie. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it when a critic gets it right. Thanks again! Continued success. “Scare on!”

I love every frame of this film! It's right behind Carpenter's Halloween as my all-time favorite; thisclose!
It's fantastic.
Underrated movie! I kinda wish Hooper continued to make movies like this!
Oh it's a classic!
I always forget about this one, I'm not sure why. It's totally a popcorn slasher and right up my alley
I think it gets lost in the mix because there are so many great ones from that year. It's great though.

One of my top favorite 80's horror movies! Awesome review.
Anthony Wright Same Dude! Almost nobody talks about this movie!
in 1981 Raiders of The Lost Ark and The Road Warrior(action classics) came out the same year as those horror movies
I enjoyed The Funhouse back in high school I had a blast making a poster of & it is my favorite out of Tobe Hooper’s oeuvre
so underrated! Loved this review my dude!
one of the best horror movies ever
So glad you liked it Lee! 🙌🏼
It's such a fun flick!!

Yes I heard about this actually. And Koontz went under a different name back then.
In the book, the Monster's father and Amy's mother were married and the monster was their only child, so Amy and he were half-brother and sister.
Lee you finally did this one! I LOVE THIS MOVIE! THANK YOU LEE! Great review!
Glad I did Daniel. This was a "ride" of a movie.

Lee... u made me wanna see this movie right now, really great review :P
Watch it!!
Love the Funhouse! One of the first good horror movies I remember seeing as a kid.
Great review, bro! I'm so happy you loved it!
It's currently #10 on my all time non-franchise slashers list. It's brilliant.
Brilliant...and so unique.
@@DrumdumsOfficial that classic Hooper style; transfixed with dysfunctional murderous family freaks! A great slasher slash creature feature.
The first time I watched this was on Lifetime Network. I was a kid and remember it being scary. Saw it years later and still enjoyed it. lol.
Lifetime Network hahaha!
love this movie. had never seen before it until I picked up a DVD 4 pack set and this was one of them included. Thanks for all your great videos.
Thank you Kevin!
A great suggestion and great review. An 80s gem and remember seeing it on cable back in the day. Thanks again
I LOVE THIS MOVIE. THANK YOU LEE! I'm also enjoying Stranger Things again and keeping my eyes peeled for your cameo.
Season one I'm in episode 3 "Holly Jolly" about 17 minutes in. Season two...last episode near the end. Guard that chains the doors.
Still one of my favorites! I also bought the movie-tie in book! A great night for me is watching Funhouse followed by Hell Night with Linda Blair! Perfection!
the funhouse is a great slasher cool that it's set on carnie grounds
This is one of the first slasher movies that I ever watched when I was a kid. It made me love slasher horror movies
I saw the movie when I was a little kid back in the early 90s. I still remember how much scared I got, especially when the monster put off the frankie mask.
It's truly a unique horror movie. RIP Tobe Hooper.
Excellent review on the fun house. A great horror classic.
I love Tobe Hooper. He is definitely one of my favorite horror directors. He is so goodl
Yep. I think he's highly underrated.
Awesome review Lee! I actually really liked this movie. And mentioning Tobe Hooper I just watched a movie of his yesterday. Lifeforce one of my favorite movies of all time.
Man I can't wait to finally watch Lifeforce!

Oh April Fools Day is definitely coming at the end of next month. Count on it.
Awesome. Can't wait for your reaction brother!
this wasn't based on a dean koontz novel, the deam koontz novel was based on this.
The Funhouse was one of the first DVDs I purchased. The monster is so unique! Another movie with great atmosphere as all of Tobe Hooper's movies have.

So happy you reviewed this movie!!! I love it! ( I did like Hellfest a lot but its not Funhouse) Thanks again Lee!
Yeah I love Funhouse - that creepy carnival vibe it has along with the killer really adds to the atmosphere.

Funhouse is one of my first childhood horror movies. Good stuff Have you seen 2019’s HAUNT? It’s great! Currently streaming on Shudder too
Oh I've reviewed Haunt. Adored that movie.
It’s actually a frightening concept for a movie!
Oh yeah. Who knows who works in these places.
yes!! This feels similar to Poltergeist...easily

@@DrumdumsOfficial lmao. humility is an awesome quality man!
Another Great Review! And Have You Seen Machete? It's A Film From 2010 Starring Danny Trejo And It's Great!
Great review always enjoyed The Funhouse, still have the Betamax for it! Planning to get the Scream Factory BluRay soon! Still think your abet to hard on Hell Fest Lee!
I actually want to give Hell Fest another watch. I have the 4K release.
@@DrumdumsOfficial One thing I will give Hell Fest it's suspense, tension and buildup rivals Halloween 2018! Both films have a manikin room scene and the way the killer reveals himself is the way Michael should have revealed himself in Halloween 2018!
I really enjoy this movie
Great movie have it on dvd
Yeah it's awesome!
Tobe Hooper directed the first episode of Freddy's Nightmares, which is kind of amazing.
Oh damn. The more Hooper I watch, the more obsessed I become.
You said Kevin Conway played the dad and my mind immediately thinks..."Wait Batman was in this?"🤦🏻♂️
Wow, the creatures that they used in this movie kinda reminded me of the zombies they used for MJ's Thriller music video. lol I don't know, that's just me. lol
Yeah I see a bit of that.
What a minute Kevin Conroy the guy that voice as Batman did this film?
Sadly no, Lee actually meant Kevin Conway. Two different people
