my vote is for Altered States.

as for Funhouse, the main thing that stuck out to me was that the entire plotline of the younger brother sneaking out of the house to go to the carnival was completely pointless filler. it could have easily been cut out and the audience never would have known the difference.
he left the house, spied on his sister, stayed out late, and did absolutely nothing. nobody knew he was there, nobody knew he was gone from the house, nothing. why even have that plotline?
I like Funhouse, but I tend to think it's because I'm biased towards movies that deal with the carnival and sideshows. I'm also nostalgic for it b/c it's one of the first horror movies I remember seeing.
