Carnival has come to town!
Four teens (Amy, Buzz, Richie and Liz) are having a {{double date}} and decide to visit it. After seeing the usual attractions, they smoke some dope and have the bright idea to stay in the funhouse (it's more like a darkride, actually) after the carnival's closing.
While making out for a while inside, they accidentally witness the funhouse barker's son Gunther strangling the carnival's {{fortune teller}} for not being pleased with her...erm...services. Soon enough they find out that they are [[ClosedCircle locked inside]] and due to Richie's stupid idea to steal the funhouse barker's money, Gunther and his father are now hunting them down.
There's also a sub-plot with Amy's little brother Joey, but that just provides few cheap scares.
