Director: Andy Palmer. Writers: Ben Begley and Renee Dorian. Cast: Robert Englund, Jere Burns, Scottie Thompson, Matt Angel and Chasty Ballesteros. The Funhouse Massacre is an indie horror feature from director Andy Palmer (Badlands of Kain). Written by Ben Begley and Renee Dorian, this title blends a lot of blood with some comedy, on Halloween night. Serial killers haunt an amusement park. And, a family reunion, created in Hell, offers a decent climax. Meanwhile, a theme involving impersonation is appropriate for the film's Halloween setting, while The Funhouse Massacre manages to create an entertaining horror world. In the story, actor Robert Englund appears as a blood-thirsty warden. He allows a journalist to tour his psychiatric hospital. The hospital pens several serial killers in its walls. While the journalist and warden become better acquainted, six murderers escape their confines. The taxidermist (Clint Howard), the cannibal (E. E. Bell), the dentist charmer, a killing...

The Funhouse Massacre presents itself as just another indiscriminate indie-horror flick, but as someone who’s been fooled by many similarly crafted duds, I can assure you that this roadside slaughterhouse is a much more enjoyable beast. Writer Ben Begley, who also plays a bumbling deputy, is not only able to craft a horror flick that’s loads of hellish fun, but this colorful massacre remain consistently funny throughout – not an easy task for scary comedies these days. While Begley’s tongue-in-cheek antics become a bit overplayed in a few instances, it fares far better than most jovial copycats of the same ilk, and holds its own against modern gore-chucklers with much bigger budgets. In the vein of a much more over-the-top The Houses October Built, The Funhouse Massacre is one of 2015’s hidden horror gems despite a smaller-format rollout, loaded with guts and bursting with psycho-carnie ferocity.

Serial killers bring their own brand of sinister scares to a carnival attraction one Halloween night in The Funhouse Massacre. With the new horror film hitting theaters today, we caught up with director Andy Palmer to discuss working with Robert Englund, creating a genuinely scary haunted house atmosphere on set, and more.
Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Andy. How did you get involved with The Funhouse Massacre and what attracted you to the story?
Andy Palmer: Thanks so much for reaching out, I really appreciate it. I got involved with Funhouse and more specifically Ben Begley and Renee Dorian when we cast Renee in Daric Loo’s film Awaken a few years ago. We had a blast working with her on that film, and a year or so later she asked my producing partner Warner Davis and I to help her produce her web series Clued-Less,...

And, they set their sights on an amusement park, hammer in hand. The film's first trailer shows many of the film's villains and a few timid characters. Fans of indie horror can view the trailer here. The film's fan page highlights some of the film's victims. Gerardo (Erick Chavarria), Jason (Sterling Sulieman), Christina (Ballesteros) and others do their best to survive the film. But, each has their weakness: social media addiction, a weed addled mind or hubris. Will any survive? Film fans can find out for themselves when the film releases this November. More details on the film are available below. Release Date: November 13th, 2015. Director: Andy Palmer. Writers: Ben Begley and Renee Dorian. Cast: Chasty Ballesteros, Robert Englund, Clint Howard and Scottie Thompson.
