Robert Englund’s THE FUNHOUSE MASSACRE to get theatrical release.
LA based production company Petri Entertainment has just announced that their latest flick, the Robert Englund-starring horror comedy THE FUNHOUSE MASSACRE will be receiving a US theatrical release via AMC Independent.
The unhinged gore n guffaws feature also stars Scottie Thompson, Jere Burns and the one and only Clint Howard. The special FX makeup comes courtesy of the legendary Robert Kurtzman. The film is directed by Andy Palmer.
From the press release:
On Halloween night, a gruesome group of the United States’ most notorious and colorful serial killers escape from Statesville Asylum and descend on a giant funhouse whose theme is based on their different reigns of terror. The unsuspecting carnival goers think that the carnage created is just part of the show, that is, until they become part of the main attraction. The only people left to stop them are a rag tag group of college kids, a clueless Deputy and the local Sheriff, who seems to have a strange attachment to the leader of this gaggle of maniacs, the silver tongued devil, Manny the Prophet.
Director Palmer says of his award-winning opus: The film is an homage to all of the best monsters in cinema with the style, gore and self-awareness we loved in the slashers of the 90s. Those films appealed to horror fans and general moviegoers alike, which is what I hope for FUNHOUSE.
THE FUNHOUSE MASSACRE will hit theaters in 15-20 U.S. markets on Friday, November 13th.
