Tobe Hooper’s The Funhouse receiving 4K Ultra HD release courtesy of Scream Factory

April 7, 2022 by Gary Collinson

Scream Factory has announced that it is bringing The Texas Chain Saw Massacre director Tobe Hooper’s 1981 carny horror The Funhouse to 4K Ultra HD with a brand new physical release this June.

Director Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Lifeforce) pays affectionate tribute to various classic horror movies in this tale of two teenage couples who spend the night in a sleazy carnival funhouse.

On her first date with Buzz (Cooper Huckabee, True Blood), Amy (Elizabeth Berridge, Amadeus) disobeys her father and goes to the carnival with Richie (Miles Chapin, Hair) and Liz (Largo Woodruff, The Ladies Club) … but their first date may end up as their last. After witnessing a murder, the four terrified teens are trapped in the maze of the Funhouse and stalked by a real monster: a horribly deformed killer who lurks among the freakish exhibits to butcher them one by one! Also starring Sylvia Miles (Midnight Cowboy) and Kevin Conway (Invincible) in three roles, The Funhouse features special makeup designs by the ingenious Rick Baker (An American Werewolf In London, Ed Wood).

The Funhouse will release on 4K Ultra HD on June 21st 2022.
