Synopsis

A group of teenagers on a double date visit a traveling carnival that’s passing through town. When the place closes, they decide to sneak into the ghost train and spend the night inside. There, however, they will encounter a ghastly fate courtesy of a boy disguised as Frankenstein's monster. Tobe Hooper, master of festive horror, signs a self-conscious work where cinema and the circus are mirrored in each other.
