The Funhouse
Tobe Hoopers film about a deformed stalker at a local carnival. Poor pacing and editing taints this movie, and the look of the killer is unrealistic and laughable. Characters include actor Kevin Conway playing three different carny barkers, and really badly shaped strippers and dialouge that would be considered politically incorrect these days. A must see and must riff.

I have to second this. Adding to all of this chaos is a scene centering upon the glorious William Finley as a carny magician. His scene is there for no other reason than to just sit back and watch him work his magic, leaving us with two questions: why is this scene in the movie and why can't the film just focus on him instead? Dean Koontz's novelization of the script at least somewhat justified the inclusion of this scene.
