Arrow Video to Release Tobe Hooper's Funhouse on July 18th

Arrow Films is set to release another grindhouse, well "classic" doesn't seem right so I'm going to use the word "film" on Blu-ray and it has some swanky special features.  Some people think I was too hard on Tobe Hooper in my half-assed review of The Funhouse, but those people can eat a bag of dicks.  I'm just kidding!  I love you all.  You can read the review HERE if you're bored. 


The Funhouse (1981)

Starring: Elizabeth Berridge, Miles Chapin, Shawn Carson
Directed by: Tobe Hooper
Duration: 95 mins

Overview: Something is alive in The Funhouse!

The carnival is a place for fun and laughter, but not for Amy and her friends. When their childish dare to stay all night in the spooky funhouse backfires, it leaves a trail of dismembered teenagers a mile long in Tobe Hooper’s classic video nasty era slasher.

Will anyone escape the clutches of the stumbling madman that stalks to sideshow? Is there no end to the carnival barkers chilling sadism? The only way to find out is ascend into the funhouse, where the games have no rules and the only prize on offer is a grisly demise.

Join us in The Funhouse. So much fun that you’ll never leave...Alive!
