Summary: KEEP IT!!
Comment: HORROR SHOW AKA HOUSE pt.3 IS HARD TO FIND SO WHEN YOU FIND IT KEEP IT.YOU'LL MOST LIKLEY ONLY FIND IT ON VHS.THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Imitation as Flattery
Comment: This film, when originally released, was meant to ride the coattails of Wes Craven's "Shocker", but wound up being released first. Craven's battle with the MPAA for a rating that wouldn't kill his film in theatrical release, resulted in the better-directed and acted, "the Horror Show" being released ahead of his "Shocker". I feel that, although the plot was basically a stolen one, it was better done. The suspense and terror build nicely, and there are frightening elements to it that were missing in its progenitor. The acting was flawless, and Max Jenke is a more frightening killer than Freddy even hoped to be. A true classic, and a must-have for the collector of horror/slasher flicks.

Summary: house 3 doesn't exist
Comment: they never made a house 3. last time i checked this was a great subject of embarassment for the maker of house 4. this has obviously been done recently to lessen that humiliation. this movie may be that old, but the name house 3 isn't.

Summary: THE HORROR SHOW
Comment: For everyone who thinks The Horror Show is the missing House 3 its not (1989) THE HORROR SHOW adopted the title House 3 in Australia and the UK so producers of House 3 retitled the film House IV to avoid confusion so House IV is actually House 3 just under a different title. The plot of the the Horror Show is about Detective Lucas McCarthy(Lance Henrickson)who has caught brutal serial killer Max Jenkie or Meat Cleaver Max (Brion James) exicuting Max was not the end of his reign of terror but actually gave him a new lease on life now he haunts the home of lucas and his family. Terry Alexander (Dawn of the Dead) plays Detective Casey and i actually ate at that restraunt in the movie when i was little. All in All this movie is pretty good i have not seen Wes Cravens Shocker yet but this film looks quite similer to it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It's a toss up..Shocker or The Horror Show......
Comment: And in reality it is just that, a toss up. The movies are quite simular in many ways: but for my money I choose "The Horror Show" over Wes Craven's "Shocker" because I feel that the acting along with the special effects over rule "Shocker" by far. And for out and out scares, this one can do it. So with that much said I rate it a 4.
