The Funhouse (1981)

The spookiest 3 weeks of the year (Octooky) continues to deliver yells and spells. We used “thrills and chills” in our description last week so we’re going with “yells and spells”. Anyway we’ve got THE FUNHOUSE this week - lots of fun to be had in this underrated Tobe Hooper gem. Were we able to list every movie we’ve done that featured a carnival?? You’ll have to listen…

I grew up in Tampa and the nearby Gibsonton carnie people were always well known. Grady Stiles Jr. was the cover picture of a silverchair record, he was a convicted murderer and his second wife hired a fellow carnie to kill him for 3 bills. I only know about the family because of his son who had a popular cable access show called lobster talk. I once had a plaster cast of his hand, an artist friend of a friend knew I would want it . It was a prized possesion. My ex accidentally broke it. That's it. LY all.

The special effects guy Stranger is talking about at around 2:23 is Cig Neutron and his partner is Rannie Rodil.

Yes the Warthog shit needs its own book. I immediately listened to the audiobook again after finishing to catch when else those things popped up.

i literally came here to recommend this exact book. i blew through it in a weekend, it’s one of those. breezy. and one standalone chapter in the middle might be the scariest short story i’ve ever read.

Taking about books in amusement parks. I love FantasticLand by Mike Bockoven, it’s like a better Lord of the Flies and it’s super fucked up.

Amadeus is a good example of a movie where the director's cut is all killer and it doesn't feel a second longer.

I realize no one asked or probably cares but I wanted to clarify that wasn’t just a Sauna pull. Amadeus is probably my favorite film and I recognized her immediately. Now I am further embarrassed and will go back to having dinner with my family. Good day.

The actress playing Amy went on to play Constanze Mozart in the movie Amadeus. Great movie and incredible corset work.

Roger’s story of “Abracadabra” reminded me how much that guy sucked! I did props for a TV network located at Chelsea Piers from 2003-2012 and would have to go there all the time to get props or rent costumes. That guy would see me at least once a month and I would try to be nice to him and he would always be an “asshole”!

I thought I was in for a fun campy movie, but it was unsettling top to bottom. Every scene I'm like I don't like what is happening or what might happen. I think I need to watch some Killer Klowns from Outer Space as a fun carnival cleanser.

I'm glad we got the origin story behind Stangers erotic dancing career. I would never have guessed it came from his dad telling him to pretend he was blind though

Mijo

I thought last time he told it he said the kid he was with was saying that, not him

Whoa, I don’t recall this story of Stanger screaming about being 8 years old
