Episode 52: Haunted Attractions and Funhouse Terrors In this thrilling episode, Kit Mann delves deep into the spine-chilling world of haunted attractions and carnival horrors, with a focus on three terrifying films: Hell House LLC (2015), The Houses October Built (2014), and The Funhouse (1981). These movies explore the fine line between entertainment and fear, showing what happens when staged scares turn into real nightmares. We’ll start by discussing Hell House LLC, a found-footage horror film that unravels the horrifying mystery behind a haunted house attraction gone wrong. Kit will explore how the movie uses practical effects, a slow-burn atmosphere, and claustrophobic settings to build one of the most suspenseful haunted attraction horrors in recent years. Next, we explore The Houses October Built, a film that blends real footage from extreme haunted houses with a scripted narrative about a group of friends searching for the most terrifying haunted experiences. Kit breaks down the unique evolution of the film, which began as a 2011 experimental project before being reworked into the 2014 cult hit we know today. From the thrill of extreme haunts to the escalating dangers of an underground scare, this film keeps the audience questioning what’s real and what’s fiction. Finally, we travel back to 1981 with Tobe Hooper’s The Funhouse. This carnival horror classic features a group of teens who make the mistake of staying overnight in a funhouse, only to be hunted by a deformed killer. Kit will explore how Hooper masterfully turns a seemingly innocent amusement park into a nightmare-filled labyrinth, blending the slasher genre with the psychological terror of being trapped with no escape. Join Kit as he unravels the unique scares, eerie settings, and lasting influence of these haunted attraction horrors in this week’s episode of Vox Macabre.Thanks for listening to Vox Macabre!
