When a group of friends finds themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere, they seek refuge at a peculiar roadside museum, only to discover that the museum’s owner, the eccentric and unsettling Mr. Slausen is hiding a dark, twisted secret. As night falls, they find themselves trapped in a horrifying maze of strange mannequins and deadly traps.
What was meant to be a fun detour quickly becomes a fight for survival as the group’s every move is monitored by the unhinged Mr. Slausen and his terrifying creations.
David Schmoeller (Puppet Master) directs from a script he co-wrote with J. Larry Carroll (“Star Trek: The Next Generation”).
Chuck Connors, Jocelyn Jones, Jon Van Ness, Robin Sherwood, and Tanya Roberts star.
Stephen King praised Tourist Trap in his 1981 book Danse Macabre, writing that it “wields an eerie spooky power, as wax figures begin to move and come to life in a ruined, out-of-the-way tourist resort”.
