Tori Spelling Wants Baby #6 Amid Divorce

Currently, Tori Spelling is in the middle of a divorce from her second husband, Dean McDermott. The two were married for eighteen years but things were far from perfect. There had been infidelity by him which was documented on one of their reality shows. They did the best that they could to mend the marriage and it seemed to work for some time. Then, the couple revealed they were sleeping separately and Dean was not in one of the family holiday photos. Finally, in 2023, Dean shared that they had split up via social media but he took it down within a day.

Two buddies, still clad in their graduation robes, take an evening stroll as they lament the passing of their high school days and celebrate the imminent arrival of their college experience. It is a bittersweet occasion. An era of their lives is over and a new dawn sparkles before them on the horizon, beckoning the boys forward toward any number of possible futures. The thought is as enticing as it is terrifying, landing squarely in the latter emotion’s camp with the arrival of a masked killer touting a sizable knife.

Welcome Week: A College Horror Anthology explores the trials and tribulations of the burgeoning freedom aging adolescents face as they leave behind the comforts, safeties, and simplicities of their childhood home for the unknown territory of a college education.

A new episode of the Real Slashers video series has just been released, and in this one we’re looking at one of the more underrated films on director Tobe Hooper‘s list of classics: the 1981 release The Funhouse (watch it Here).

Scripted by Larry Block, The Funhouse has the following synopsis: Rebellious teen Amy defies her parents by going to a trashy carnival that has pulled into town. In tow are her boyfriend, Buzz, and their friends Liz and Richie. Thinking it would be fun to spend the night in the campy “Funhouse” horror ride, the teens witness a murder by a deformed worker wearing a mask.

In 1974, Tobe Hooper made an eruption of horror ingenuity with his second feature film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a gritty and grainy horror classic that would prove to be one of the most influential films in horror history. A brilliantly brutal, thoroughly disturbing, and strangely real-feeling slasher before slashers that favored hellish atmosphere over blood yet still feels like peak cinematic violence,Texas Chainsaw Massacre expressed Hooper was already a developing master of depicting terror on screen.

As many know, he went on to make a few genre classics and cult hits, including Poltergeist, Lifeforce, and Salem's Lot. Hooper's responsible for at least 2 of horror's greatest films of all time as well as a sprinkling of lesser hits, but more gems rest between the cracks than some care to recognize.

Two years after Texas Chainsaw Massacre initially made its impact, Hooper directed Eaten Alive, a strange, sordid exploitation flick about...

“The Funhouse” (1981)

Directed By: Tobe Hooper

Written By: Larry Block

Starring: Elizabeth Berridge (Amy Harper), Shawn Carson (Joe Harper), Jeanne Austin (Mrs. Harper), Jack McDermott (Mr. Harper), Cooper Huckabee (Buzz), Largo Woodruff (Liz), Miles Chapin (Richie),Sylvia Miles (Madame Zena), David Carson (Geek), Sonia Zomina (Big Lady), Kevin Conway (Carnival Barber), Herb Robins (Carnival Manager), Mona Agar (Strip Show Dancer), Wayne Doba (The Monster), William Finley (Marco the Magnificent)

With Tobe Hooper having many popular films in his directing filmography, The Funhouse falls by the way-side on being familiar in horror. I enjoyed this early Hooper movie a lot. It takes many of the various slasher elements and adds the right mix of camp and bloodshed for a delicate treat for viewers. Opening up at a limited scope of theaters, it had a respectable opening in 1981. It is available on all media formats; it...

The Funhouse

Stars: Elizabeth Berridge, Shawn Carson, Jeanne Austin, Jack McDermott, Cooper Huckabee, Kevin Conway | Written by Lawrence Block | Directed by Tobe Hooper

Tobe Hooper has had a very diverse career, and I say that with nary a blurb of hyperbole. For every The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you get Crocodile. I love the majority of his films because they give me the feeling of warm and fuzzy nostalgia. But, with The Funhouse which came out at the height of the slasher craze, he was still shaping his now wild career. And the film is drastically different from some of his other films, yet it still retains some of Hooper’s erraticism. There are crazed characters and most of the carnival folk feel very, very real. Hell, the carnival feels real, it’s like it may have visited your hometown. It’s also a great slow burn film, you get to...

Tobe Hooper's The Funhouse failed to make the impact his earlier Texas Chainsaw Massacre did on horror audiences, but still delivered a few solid shocks for viewers in 1981. Much like Chainsaw, it consists of twisted characters and fun-loving youngsters being brutalized by them. However, this time around carnival workers get a bad rap versus backwoods rednecks like in Hooper's 1974 spine-chiller. Seeing The Funhouse now on Blu-ray doesn't quite deliver the same jarring surprises it did thirty years ago. The horror genre has seen it all since then.

Amy (Elizabeth Berridge) goes against her father's (Jack McDermott) orders and accompanies high school rebel Buzz (Cooper Huckabee) and her two friends (Largo Woodruff and Miles Chapin) to a traveling carnival. Two kids were murdered the last time it was in town. On a dare, the four teens decide to stay overnight in the carnival's funhouse. They soon find themselves trying to...
