Carnival of Blood (1970) (USA)

aka Death Rides a Carousel 

⭐️⭐️⭐️


Coney Island becomes a bloody nightmare when various awful women start getting mutilated by some unknown assailant. H.G. Lewis style gore peppers the tedium and a parade of horrible humans gets ya itching for a nice warm shower. Mommy issues (of course) are the reason for the psychosis but is it the kind(ish) carnie or his disfigured and hunchbacked assistant (Burt fuckin’ Young)? A newly engaged D.A. is bucking to solve the case and his Dee-Reynolds-lookin’ fiancée just wants to celebrate their love. A grimy time indeed, filmed like a back room porno and performed in much the same style. There’s a fortune teller with a secret, a teddy bear full of guts, and plenty of time capsule footage to keep ya awake in between the gore and grime.
