Killer Karnival (1985)

“Step right up… for the last ride of your life!” When a gaudy neon carnival appears overnight on the edge of sleepy Deville, Arkansas, a gang of small-town teens can’t resist sneaking in for opening night. But behind the flashing rides, fog-soaked midway, and booming calliope lies a terrifying secret: the carnies aren’t human—and the Ferris wheel is more than just a ride. As friends vanish and the lights flicker like they’re alive, the kids must outrun sinister sideshows, uncover the carnival’s alien masters, and shut it down before dawn… or join the missing forever. A wild mash-up of 80s teen adventure, synth-drenched sci-fi horror, and VHS-era monster mayhem—think The Goonies meets Something Wicked This Way Comes with a dash of Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
