PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

On Halloween night, a group of the United States\u2019 most notorious serial killers escapes from Statesville Asylum and descends upon a giant funhouse whose theme is based on their different reigns of terror. The unsuspecting carnival patrons think that the carnage at the park is just part of the show… until they become part of the main attraction. The only people left to stop the killers are a rag-tag group of college kids, a clueless deputy (BEN BEGLEY) and the local sheriff (SCOTTIE THOMPSON), who seems to have a strange attachment to the leader of the maniacs, the silver-tongued devil \u201cMental Manny\u201d (JERE BURNS).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Funhouse Massacre<\/em><\/strong> breaks out onto Blu-ray courtesy of Shout\u2019s Scream Factory line presented with a 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. Although it is a dark looking movie, detail still is sharp and there is a splash of color every so often. There were no apparent artifacts, aliasing, scratches or other flaws making for a pleasant looking transfer even amidst all the blood and gore.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The movie comes with both a 2.0 and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio tracks and in either case, they provide good dialogue levels with the music and score make up the bulk of the rear channels with the front speakers relegated for the variety of grisly killings that befall our ensemble cast.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Overall, The Funhouse Massacre<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t a half bad indie horror flick with some impressive make-up effects and even the performances aren\u2019t terrible, though Robert Englund\u2019s role is very much a cameo appearing in the film for maybe 10 minutes. The Blu-ray released by Shout offers solid video\/audio transfers and a so-so selection of bonus material.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
