I wanted to give Funhouse a special mention because, although it is basically a cookie-cutter slasher pic, it mines the familiar territory with unusual style and production value. I didn't think too much of it when I saw it in the theatres, honestly. But years later, watching a good DVD of it, in widescreen, I found myself impressed. I feel it's the nicest American slasher film "production" from that time period.

The music score is also, arguably, pretty solid.

Unfortunately, although it looks good, the DVD that got released reveals a very unbalanced sound mix, with sound effects that are far too loud and barely audible dialogue tracks. Occasionally you have to strain to hear things. I don't remember it being hard to listen to in the theatre.
