Horror Movie Podcast Ep. 179: Funhouse of Horror – The Funhouse (1981) and Hell Fest (2018)

Step right up! Step right up! Ladies and Germs and Monster Kids of all ages! This is HORROR MOVIE PODCAST Episode 179 wherein Wolfman Josh, Dr. Shock and Gillman Joel take a ride on the tilt-a-whirl of terror with guest Bill Van Veghel (long time HMP listener and new addition to Land of the Creeps) to feature review Tobe Hooper’s killer carnival classic, The Funhouse (1981), and last years standout amusement park stalk-and-slash, Hell Fest (2018).

Horror Movie Podcast has been a bi-weekly show that is often late to post. We’re thinking about moving the show to just twice per month, still roughly aiming for an every other Monday release schedule. Technically, that would mean a few less shows per year, but practically, it would mean that our shows would be posted on time more often and would help ensure that the mental health of your hosts is in a place where we can continue to deliver the show for years to come. We would love your feedback on this.
