I watched it.  As expected, terrible.  Some very interesting camera work.  Rotten acting.  Lousy script.  It zipped right along, but when a movie is this bad, an hour and 20 minutes can get interminable.   I laughed and laughed and laughed again.

Despite some interesting shots of the carnival (I mean other than myself, who watches this crap to look at a carnival being set up and taken down...?) the editing is dreadful.    Great natural crowd setups CUT.  This would have been much better as a documentary without any "actors" (all stinko).

I agree on the carnival atmosphere. You can almost smell the corn dogs and cotton candy.  :smile:

It's movies like SHE FREAK that can offer a peek at a long-gone world.  The footage of the carnival was almost marvelous - somebody took the camera on all the rides...!  Puke.  Not necessarily a good idea, but there was a lot of footage in this schlock (intended mostly as FILLER) which is wonderful. 
Seriously, the "story" had me laughing at awkward attempts to "act" or "advance the story".   :bouncegiggle:

I see this film was Bill McKinney's first role: always remember him from Breakheart Pass.  :smile:
