TOURIST TRAP 1979 (FULL MOON)

This very bizarre and sadly neglected film arrives on Blu-ray.

A car breaks down on a lonely road and several young people are plunged into a nightmare world of insanity and much more.

Jocelyn Jones, Jon Van Ness, Robin Sherwood and Tanya Roberts and the young people who fall into the clutches of a madman running an old gas station and wax museum where the mannequins seem to be alive.

they are killed one by one, and the most nightmarish death is suffered by a young woman strapped to a table who has plaster put over her face as suffocates to death as the killer taunts her. This is easily the most disturbing scene in the film, and one I will never forget.

Chuck Conners is Mr. Slausen, a sicko who is also his own brother!! Conners plays it to the hilt and makes it all very believable. Tanya Roberts looks so damn delicious in this film and it is a shame to see her character killed.

Also on this disc is a wonderful documentary from Ballyhoo Productions about the making of this film. It runs about 25 minutes and is very well done, as are all Ballyhoo documentaries.

if you haven't picked up this disc yet, I suggest you do so soon. It makes a great late night viewing experience. I was first introduced to this film when I saw it UNCUT on KWGN TV from Denver Colorado. It made an impact.
