This week, we discuss two horror films from director Tobe Hooper.
The first is The Funhouse (1981), which follows a group of teens who sneak into a carnival funhouse for a night of thrills, only to be hunted by a monstrous killer lurking within.
The second is Poltergeist (1982), which tells the story of a suburban family whose home becomes haunted by vengeful spirits, leading to a desperate fight to rescue their youngest daughter from the supernatural realm.
