Horror 101 – Episode 65: House III (The Horror Show) – May 30th, 2017
They tried to electrocute “Meat Cleaver” Max. It didn’t work.
What do you get when producer Sean S. Cunningham puts Lance Henriksen and Brion James in a cheesy 80s film? You get The Horror Show AKA House III. This podcast is going to be a riot. House III is a little more obscure than our recent threequels. The film had some problems, including the director being fired and replaced in the middle of production. House III was the Wes Craven’s Shocker clone of its day. Another film about a mass murderer being put to death by electrocution, only to come back as a supernatural menace exacting revenge on the cop who put him away. The Horror Show is light on scares but there’s a ton of laughs. With two actors battling each other in a Nightmare of Elm Street kind of script, it has to be entertaining.
