The Funhouse Massacre

On Halloween night, a shady plan from a rundown asylum goes awry when six of the world's most infamous psychopaths break loose and seize control of a local town's haunted house attraction. The maze rides on their history of terror, turning every corridor into a nod to past savage acts, while unsuspecting visitors become pawns in a live scare show. As fear spikes and laughs erupt in equal measure, a stubborn sheriff and a handful of survivors try to outsmart their captors amid flickering lights and sabotaged set pieces. The Funhouse Massacre blends gore and gags, keeping the mood chaotic without surrendering its trashy carnival energy. As chaos swirls, loyalties are tested and brave but flawed choices tilt the balance between mercy and mayhem.

Directed by Andy Palmer and created by Ben Begley and Renee Dorian, The Funhouse Massacre features a cult horror pedigree with Robert Englund portraying Warden Kane and a cast that includes Jere Burns, Scottie Thompson, and Chasty Ballesteros.

Box office data for this independent comedy horror isn't widely reported, and it seems to have received limited release in theaters and on streaming platforms. As a result, there isn't a reliable worldwide gross to cite in limited markets worldwide.

Robert Englund's involvement adds a wink of horror history while the production nods to retro practical effects and over-the-top set pieces. The performances, especially by Englund, give the film a sense of familiarity that contrasts with the chaotic premise. Fans of classic slasher cinema will recognize the tonal signals.

Audience reaction skews mixed, with a 5.3 out of 10 average from 168 votes reflecting its uneven mix of gore, gags, and chaos. The film drapes its humor around a Halloween fright atmosphere and riffs on group dynamics under pressure, sometimes succeeding, sometimes not. Its tonal shifts entice discussion online.
