Eli Roth Remaking Tobe Hoopers "FUNHOUSE"

Eli Roth told Fangoria he thought Tobe Hooper's "FUNHOUSE" was flawed and that he is the man to remake it right. Quote;

“I'm talking with Universal about that one,” Roth reveals. “THE FUNHOUSE is a movie where the first half is brilliant—they set up these great characters—and then they pay off none of them. You have Marco the Magician sawing his daughter in half, the brothers who run the carnival and the funhouse setting. And then it's all about this weird mutant thing.

It should be about the kids getting killed in horrible ways, put in different contraptions in the funhouse and the final girl being strapped into the ride and sent into the tunnels to be confronted by terrifying tableaux of her dead friends. A smart remake could be so much fun. Kill the kids in fabulous ways and continually reuse the bodies by making them freaks in the freak museum, sew their eyes shut, waxworks... That's the stuff I want to do in a remake of THE FUNHOUSE.”
