Question
Dear Popcorn Guy,
I am hoping you can help me name a movie that has haunted me for over 20 years.  I saw a Horror Movie on cable tv when I was a kid in the late 70's or early 80's.  It was a campy horror film about teenagers lost in the woods that come across a house where a creepy old man makes mannequins.  He has a "life-like" mannequinn of his wife on diplay and we later find out that he kills people and turns them into mannequins.  This movie totally freaked me out and to this day mannequins give me the creeps.  Can you please give me any information?  Thanks so much.


Answer
Hi, Noele...

The film you are looking for is called "Tourist Trap." Made in 1979, it starred Chuck Connors... you can find it pretty easily on Ebay and Amazon, so, should the urge hit you, feel free to buy it and give it another look. It's still as campy and fun as it was then!

Hope this helps,
