The Funhouse ended up being a lot better watch than I thought it would be. Adding to what _V_ said I think the circus lent itself well to the atmosphere and I'm one who enjoys a bit of build-up as an hors d'oeuvre before we're treated to a filling course of bloodshed. I would say 7.5/10 as I enjoyed the killer and have an unnatural propensity for avoiding whole numbers. On a side note, I really didn't have an issue with a sound on my DVD, maybe I wasn't listening carefully enough.

I think the Funhouse caps off sort of a trilogy for Hooper, in the same way that they call the Thing, In the Mouth of Madness and Prince of Darkness a trilogy for Carpenter. Between TCM, Eaten Alive and the Funhouse, I think Hooper has mapped out a nihilistic, confusing apocalyptic America through these movies. The atmosphere is cool and seems to have had a big influence on Rob Zombie later (especially the barker character). It's also one of the earliest Little Red Ridinghood teen slashers, being from a time before they were thirty Friday the 13th movies.

Oh and I remembered that I did see funhouse, but didn't like it very much. It wasn't horrible, it was just horribly average. I think Tobe Hooper is seriously overrated and he's lucky he made TCM because he would probably be flipping burgers right now.
