353 - The Funhouse (1981)

Everybody have fun tonight, maniacs! We're checking back in with Tobe Hooper and talking his 1981 carnival slasher The Funhouse. Tune in as we break down this bizarre piece of early 80s ephemera and discuss other topics such as the Dorf universe, our own Kennywood memories, and a classic duck joke.

Drop that Caramello and check out our Patreon! This month we busted out a fifth edition of the Back In The Day Blitz, where we discuss the intersection of news and pop culture in the 90s as well as Sunday afternoon movies. For as little as $2 a month you can get in on the action as well with bonus episodes, Discord privileges, livestreams, exclusive merchandise and more!
