Question
OK, i know this might be very vague, but when i was a child, my family took me to this movie. it was the late 70's. This was a horror movie about a bunch of teenagers that go to an carnivale and they decide to go on this scary fun house ride. While they were inside the killing begins. All of the killing took place inside the fun house and only one female teenager survives in the end. They went in at night and when the girl comes out it is morning. I dont remember much because my parents kept covering my eyes, but if memory serves me correctly the girl kills the killer by pushing him  into one of the machine that controlled the fake clowns inside the scarry fun house. You know how when you enter one of those rides and you are in the cart things pop up and clowns and monsters are being controlled by that machine. that is all i know and hopefully you can help  

Answer
Hi Antonio,

I think the movie you are looking is called "The Funhouse" which was made in 1981. A plot summary from imdb.com follows:

"Four teenagers, Amy Harper, Buzz Klemmet, Richie Atterbury and Liz Duncan, travel to the carnival which has just come to town, for some fun. As the night begins to come to an end, Liz suggests they stay the night in the funhouse. They all agree and decide to take the last ride before the attraction shuts down. As they stay in the funhouse, the four witness and horrific murder aganist a psychic reader by a very big man in a frankenstien mask, also Richie takes some of the money earned by the man who runs the funhouse. The owner is furious about the missing money and sends his son, Gunther, who killed the reader, to take care of the thieves. Now the four are locked in the funhouse, being stalked and killed one by one, by the FREAK in the frankenstain mask who really is a horribly deformed and mentally challenged man."
