Some well done creepy bits!
2024 viewers can see the plot twist a thousand miles away, but in 1979 it may have worked, assuming you hadn’t watched “Psycho” first.
Apparently Chuck Conners had hoped he might become a 1980’s Boris Karloff-like horror villain. You know, I’d have liked that! I think he could have pulled it off.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic nightmare in which a roadside museum becomes a trap, where the line between mannequin and human blurs into something deeply wrong. The film traps you in a confined, eerie space where supernatural dread builds alongside visceral slasher violence.
