More spoopy movies to watch this season.

In recent years there have been a few movies about Halloween hauted theme parks gone pyscho... The basically identical movies Hell fest and Bloodfest from last year, The Houses October Built 1 and 2 and very recently Haunt (which not to sutely homages many straight to VHS era movies), Heck Haunt has a costume that must be homaging Hack O Lantern and several scenes are directly takes on the incredibly titled Hauntedween.

This is definatly not knew and the home made spook house turned horror is really a centre piece for American backyard film makers.

Hallows End (2003) A near zero budget flick about college kids taking a job to run a community hauted house but what do you know some one brought the necronomicon. When part of the book is read many people become the costumes they are waering... friends become zombies and vampires oh a killer pirates too.

Dark House (2008) A fairly slick film with Jeffery Combs released by Fangoria is about a new state of the art haunted house attraction with state of the art holograms that get taken over by real house and turn this slightly House on Haunted Hill on everyone.

Asylum of Terror (1998) Also near zero budget and young adults building a large theme haunted house in an old insane asylum where one crazy stayed behind and is changing costumes with the theme parks actors. Nice saw action.

Very similar as well to as I mentioned Hauntedween (1991) which has the classic slasher cliches of flashbacks of a child witnessing a terrible accident the jumping to present day young adults being killed by a mystery man in a mask and cover alls. This sets the images of amusement halloween actors being killed on stage to a crowd as they shout “Stop laughing, this is real, get help, he is really killing us” . Its an image used in horror longer then I could imagine but really set a trend on low budget horror movies souly about that.

Movies like Funhouse and Terror Circus are basically the same but a cheao haunted house with a killer in it can be done even cheaper when your trapped inside a warehouse made into different rooms. Think how easy that would be to film by just putting different sheets up in your apartment to make it seem like different gimmicky rooms.

Todds Sheets Nightmare Asylum (1992) is just that in a story about a girl that sneaks into a contemmed people full of mental patients that live there and basically all think they live in a murderous alice in wonderland world,
