A little-known gem from '79.

I really really liked this one. I know, it's rampant with what are now
cliché plot lines, and plenty of overacting, but it was hell of a lot
of fun.In our quest for 70's and 80's horror cheese, we come across many
flicks that are so bad they're good. We also have some that are so
'good' they suck, and then, we have some that are so bad they are just
bad. This is definitely so bad it's good.Some teens traveling come across an 'oasis' in the middle of nowhere, a
forgotten slice of roadside America, and they decide to 'check it out.'
They cross every line of inappropriate until it is absurd and they pay
for it. They pay dearly.I would not normally give a movie like this a 9, but the girls in this
one are the type that we miss from the 1970's: ditzy, scantily-clad and
FIT. These aren't the anorexic broads from today's horrible horror;
they look awesome in booty shorts.I give it a 9 out of 10, kids.

Oh, my…the HOUSE OF WAX remake ripped this off big time!

A group of kids find themselves stranded at Slausen's Lost Oasis, the
titular tourist trap run by Mr. Slausen (Chuck Conners). He seems
amiable enough to help them out but when his maniac brother starts
wandering about, things get slasher-y. Re-visiting this one after a few
decades, I am shocked at just how much the HOUSE OF WAX (2005) remake
ripped this off. I'm not talking little things here and there – the
HOUSE remake should have been titled TOURIST TRAP. Sure, this gives a
nod to the original HOUSE OF WAX (and Texas CHAINSAW MASSACRE) but the
remake lifts the entire premise right down to the killer's creepy
visage. Anyway, Chuck Conners is completely awesome in this. The
supporting cast is great too and you get to see Tanya Roberts is as
stunning with dark hair as blond. Director David Schmoeller establishes
a really creepy vibe from the very beginning with an excellent gas
station attack and is helped out by an equally creepy and playful score
by Pino Donaggio.

Want some crackers?

Tourist Trap is a hokey schlock-fest produced by Irwin Yablans and
Charles Band, starring Chuck Connors with Tanya Roberts along for the
ride. Pays homages to Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Carrie, and
Halloween. It is a queer amalgam of all the above. Folks disappear at
Mr Slaussen's Lost Oasis but it is just a rinky dink roadside museum
with a dirty pond in a backwater little no place that has become
rundown and obscure because a new highway has basically invented the
wheel for travelers and sightseers and tourists with taste.
Unfortunately for Molly and her gang of friends they break down near Mr
Slaussen's Lost Oasis and become hostages of a psycho with telekinetic
powers, loves to don women's wigs and dresses, and makes mannequins out
of his victims.People with pediophobia look out this horror film is aimed at you and
anybody that believes mannequins and puppets are creepy.Chuck Connors really rises above the material does a standout job as Mr
Slaussen and manages to make the character quite energetically comic to
watch and very sympathetic near the end (when he confesses the mystery
of his missing brother and the death of his wife to Molly).One of the most effective moments in Tourist Trap is Mr Slaussen
describing the sensations of plaster being applied to the face of one
of his victims and how the panic is going to burst her heart long
before she suffocates for lack of breathe beneath the drying plaster.
Chuck Connors held me captive audience, I could have sworn the walls
were closing in on me and the oxygen vacuumed out of my room watching
him apply the plaster to the face of his tied and bound pleading
victim. A fantastic captivating moment of horror. Probably my favorite
moment in the whole film.Oh, Tanya Roberts is undeniably steaming hot half the time I spent
gawking at how she fits in that tube top.

an all time classic……

OK…i have seen just about everything….and some are considered
classics that shouldn't be ( like all those Halloween movies that suck
crap or even Steven king junk)…….and some are considered just OK
that are really great…..( like carnival of souls )……..and then
some are just plain ignored…………like ( evil ed ) or ( pumpkin
head and brain dead "the bud Cort one" ) then some stick in your head
once seen and never leave………..that's what this did to
me……..and for my money this is much better than last house on the
left…………last house was great till the ending…then it blew
chunks…..what kind of dummy is gonna give a blow job to someone who
just killed their kids ????.completely stupid ..go find the movie
"bully" or even "funny games" if ya want realism and to be creep ed
out………but this damn thing stuck with me for years………one
cause chuck Connors always was scary………two Tanya Roberts is the
best female victim ever……..three the chick being smothered in
plaster still is one of the all time worst killings on film……..and
4th the telekinetic powers thing blew my mind and came totally
unexpected…….not to mention the dummies wax figures puppets
etc…….it should be right there with psycho,last house,Texas
chainsaw,etc……. it's a classic…………..and deservedly
so………..

Do you really want to take the Slausen Cutoff?

Quirky thriller and a real hoot to watch. You might have more chance to
laugh out loud than jump out of fright. Very good special effects
actually. The violence is pretty bland even for 1979. The real interest
is Chuck Connors of TV's Rifleman fame and a young Charlie's Angel
Tanya Roberts. Connors plays Mr. Slausen, who runs a deserted wax
museum as a tourist trap he calls Slausen's Lost Oasis. He lures young
travelers, especially nice looking girls into the museum where the wax
mannequins begin to come to life. And there is a two story residence
out back that contains real terror. Roberts along with friends played
by Dawn Jeffory, Robin Sherwood, Jocelyn Jones and Jon Van Ness are Mr.
Slausen's latest visitors…or is that victims? Connors is as hilarious
as he is strangely suspicious playing the country bumpkin killer in
disguise.
