An independent teenager
named Larry (Damon Martin) travels with
his Uncle Ned (Royal Dano) to open up an
act at a carnival with their House of
Horrors funhouse named Satan's Den but
they haven't succeeded in making their
funhouse scary enough and losing business
wherever they go.
They have bad run in's with bratty kids
and juvenile delinquents that cause
trouble for them.
However, some Ghoulies are resurrected
and tag along in the Satan's Den funhouse
making it their home. They end up killing
people there and some of the customers
finding it an act are impressed and
entertained by them.
But however, they plan to wreck havoc at
the carnival and nothing seems to stop
them which makes things worst.
A fun sequel taken
in a different direction that works
almost on it's own. It is a fun party
cheesy teen horror flick that almost
delivered with all the surroundings
happening in it but like the first one it
turns out to be very silly and boring a
quarter way through.
Oh well it was well done for what it was.
The acting is
fairly good for it's cheesy budget since
we have a well experienced cast involved
with this one.
Damon Martin seems to pull off well
as an independent teenager who owns the
carnival with his uncle and shows perfect
emotions throughout the film with what is
going on.
Although Royal Dano tried to
portray a good drunken uncle owner of the
carnival he didn;t do anything for me.
Dwarf celebrity Phil Fondacaro
was another carnival member who didn't
stand out too well with his comedic
performance in the film either.
J. Downing lived to play a greedy
businessman trying to take everything
over and was probably the nest one out of
this film.
Kerry Remsen also performaned
stunningly well with both her looks and
her acting too.
Jon Pennell plays a perfect head
punk at the carnival with his gang of
delinquent friends and can come across as
a threat.
Sasha Jenson also does a great job
as another troublemaking teen since I
always enjoyed his work in movies.
Although William Butler only had
about 10 minutes in the film, he does
well as a wimpy punk of the gang and is
good at being goofy too.

Although Albert
Band delivers alot of cheese in this
film he still makes it look good in alot
of spots
He promises a nice beginning with a
dialogue performed by the lead actors
Damon Martin and Rayal Dano
as nephew and uncle driving in a truck
going to the area to set up their
carnival.
There are hilarious camera shots on the
ghoulies playing around with the weapons
in the funhouse.
We have a nice direction with small
actress Ames Morton running into
the funhouse looking for her cat but one
of the ghoulies is making a meowing sound
as the camera shot on this creature
looked spooky and then the terror begins
in a good cheesy way when she is attacked
and pinned down by these monsters.
The setting looked good at the front of
the funhouse with Martin having
trouble with supporting actors Dale
Wyatt, Jon Pennell, Sasha
Jenson, Starr Andreef and William
Butler as punks wanting to cause
trouble there. Plus they looked
believeably good partying out in the
funhouse.
Butler was perfect by being lost in
the hallways at the house and also shows
terrific frightened expressions whne the
ghoulies attack and torture him to death.
Supporting child actors Don Jeffcoat
and Christopher Burton did a
great job as well with Band's directions
by being typical troublemaking brats in
the funhouse being bored and not obeying
the rules there. They show nice
excitement when they spot one of the
ghoulies realising how destructive it
reacts to with weapons.
We see a nice shot on both Jenson
and Adreeff with goo being
splattered on them which looks really
gross and they react to it well.
We see a great chorus of cast chanting on
the ghoulies after wrapping a corpse up
and putting it away.
There's a bit of an emotional dialogue
between Martin and Phil
Fondacaro after a tragedy happened
in the funhouse which had perfect timing.
There's a nice camera shot on Martin
when the ghoulies jump on him and attack
him.
We see many great disputes between both Martin
and J. Downing plus there's a
great shot on Martin
suckerpunching him along with a great
shocked reaction on Downing.
Downing performs terrifically well
at nearly losing his sanity talking to
himself in the men's room in a mirror.
The directing gets really stupid when the
ghoulies terrorise at the carnival and
then a giant one is summoned to eat them
up and then cause trouble too as Band
starts to lose his touch with it making
it look more goofy than scary.
We hear some great
sharp synthesizer music by Fuzzbee
Morse as it sounds great for a
b-movie like this and not at all sounding
poor.
We also have a
balls to the wall songtrack with hair
metal band WASP and their song
"Scream Until You Like It"
which was a perfect touch for the film as
it was played when the cast who were
playing punks in the film were partying
in the funhouse causing trouble and it
was played during the closing credits as
well.
