Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Imitation as Flattery
This film, when originally released, was meant to ride the coattails of Wes Craven's "Shocker", but wound up being released first. Craven's battle with the MPAA for a rating that wouldn't kill his film in theatrical release, resulted in the better-directed and acted, "the Horror Show" being released ahead of his "Shocker".

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - house 3 doesn't exist

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - It's a toss up..Shocker or The Horror Show......
And in reality it is just that, a toss up. The movies are quite simular in many ways: but for my money I choose "The Horror Show" over Wes Craven's "Shocker" because I feel that the acting along with the special effects over rule "Shocker" by far. And for out and out scares, this one can do it. So with that much said I rate it a 4.
