Capitalizing on the widely-publicized series of unsolved murders that occurred at the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas in the late 1970s*, Tourist Trap is a slasher film with all the classic elements. It's got a big beefy killer in overalls and a mask, portrayed by Chuck Connors, known primarily for his television role as The Rifleman but also for his 400 pound chin. And, of course, a couple of scantily clad babes, including replacement Charlie's Angel Tanya Roberts, who would later make MILF history as the neighbor in That 70s Show. For some reason the babes are on a road trip with a girl who's sort of a more conservative version of Sarah, Plain and Tall when their car breaks down (you don't say!) near a freaky roadside museum. It's full of creepy mannequins that big Chuck operates via his never-explained telekinesis, proving that if people started developing X-Men style mutant powers in the real world their first impulse wouldn't be to rule the world OR try to save it, but instead to perv out and build a giant whackin' emporium full of RealDolls. For some reason, the girls trust museum owner Chuck completely. They don't realize he's the killer picking them off one by one, a ruse that even Scooby and Shaggy would immediately see through, even with red-rimmed eyes after hotboxing the van. Throw in a twist ending so shocking it'll leave you saying "huh, I guess that was the ending," and you've got a Tourist Trap even more perplexing/disappointing than Santa Cruz's famous Mystery Spot (where, incidentally, the Colby Jack cheese blend was first invented**).

Put on your Hawaiian shirt, fanny pack, and Teva sandals with socks, then join Mike, Kevin, and Bill in the Tourist Trap!

Hate to say this but I need some bits to go with this movie.  I'll still buy'em but miss 'em.
And I'm worse than Hitler.

I had to kill the download to come into work..
I'll try again when I get home after 12:30am :-[

I think this is Rifftrax's Zombie Nightmare: a movie that's not that bad, plus really awesome riffing = a fun time had by all.
I survived the San Diego Comic Con 2010 Hall H stabbing.

I'm looking forward to it, but still getting a profound "oh, ICK" vibe from all the masked cosplay. And I had a pretty favorable opinion of Chuck Connors until now. Oh, dear.
WARNING: In case of Rapture, this dance belt will be unoccupied.

"You guys seeing what I'm seeing back there?" - in the preview stinger.  :lol: WOW, And usually it's Bill (more or less in a "Crow Persona" is the one to make the off-color jokes.) WTG, Mike!  Downloading this one now.  Missed this on release day somehow (I guess mostly the holiday... and Rifftrax apparently not sending on E-Mail alerts anymore.)
