            Eileen (Robin Sherwood) and her boyfriend Woody (Keith McDermott) are driving through the desert. When their car gets a flat tire, Woody goes to find a gas station. Their friends Becky (Tanya Roberts), Jerry (Jon Van Ness) and Molly (Jocelyn Jones) are traveling separately in a different vehicle. They reach Eileen waiting at the car and they all drive off to collect Woody.Woody has found a gas station but it appears deserted. He enters the back room but becomes trapped when the door closes by itself behind him. Various mannequins appear in the room, and multiple objects fly at him until a metal pipe impales and kills him.A little later, Eileen, Becky, Molly and Jerry happen upon a run-down ghost town called 'Slausen's Lost Oasis' (the tourist trap in the title) and conclude Woody is there. As they drive in, their vehicle mysteriously breaks down. Jerry tries to fix his jeep and the girls go skinny dipping in a nearby oasis. As the three women swim, a strange-looking middle-aged man, who introduces himself as Mr. Slausen (Chuck Connors) appears holding a shotgun. Though outwardly polite, he also seems embittered by the decline of his tourist trap since the local expressway was moved away. The three nude girls feel awkward in the water as he casually chats with them, and they apologize for trespassing on his property.Slausen offers to help Jerry with the jeep, but insists the group go to his house with him to get his tools. There, they see the tourist trap: animated wax works type figures including armed bandits. Eileen is curious about a nearby house, but Slausen insists the women stay inside the museum. Slausen takes Jerry to fix the jeep leaving the women. Eileen leaves to find a phone in the other house. There she finds several mannequins inside the house. Someone calls her name, and a stranger wearing a grotesque mask suddenly appears behind her. Various items in the room move of their own accord and the scarf Eileen is wearing tightens and strangles her to death.Slausen returns to Molly and Becky saying that Jerry drove his truck into town. When told that Eileen left, he goes to the house and finds Eileen has been turned into a mannequin. He returns and tells Molly and Becky he did not find Eileen and will leave again to continue the search. Frustrated, the women also later leave to search for her. Becky enters the nearby house and finds a mannequin resembling Eileen. Becky is attacked by the masked killer and then by multiple mannequins. She later wakes up tied up in the basement along with Jerry. Jerry says the killer is Slausen's brother. Also held captive is a young woman named Tina (Dawn Jeffory), who is strapped to a table. She is killed when the masked man covers her face with plaster, causing her to suffocate. Jerry frees himself and attacks the killer, but is soon overpowered. Tied back up, Jerry tries to reach for a key but the killer telepathically moves it from his reach... revealing that the killer has the power of telekinesis.Molly, still outside searching for the others, is pursued by the masked man. She meets Slausen who drives her to the museum and gives her a gun while he goes inside. The masked man appears and Molly shoots, but the gun is loaded with blanks. The man removes the mask: it is Slausen. She panics and tries to elude Slausen but is soon captured and restrained to a bed.Meanwhile, Becky and Jerry escape from the basement but, get separated. Slausen appears and takes Becky to the museum. There the Old West figures begin shooting at her, and she is killed by a Indian Chief figure who throws a knife at her, stabbing her in the back of the neck.Back at the house, Molly manages to untie herself and attempts to look for a way out. She is forced to hide when Slausen appears again and, using his telekinesis, makes many of the mannequins move by themselves. He finds Molly hiding and invites him to dance with him. Jerry arrives to rescue Molly, but he is revealed to have unknowingly been turned into a mannequin as Slausen reveals it by "removing" his arm. Slausen dances with the mannequin figure of his wife, and Molly sees that the wife has become animated as a real person. Traumatized by all of this, Molly finds a hatchet where she sneaks up behind Slausen, and slams the axe into his shoulder as he turns around. With Slausen finally dead and his power gone, all of the mannequins in the room stop moving.The film then ends where it takes place the next morning, and a grinning and clearly insane Molly is seen driving away in the jeep with the mannequin versions of her friends.
    

Tourist Trap


            In 1961, young Susan (Elizabeth Hoy) and David are playing with a train with paper Valentine's Day hearts all around the room. A boy watching from outside leaves a red envelope at the front door and knocks. Susan answers, and she shows David and Valentine's card from Harold. The two laugh and crumple it up. Susan goes to the kitchen to cut some cake and when she walks back into the living room, David is dead and hanging on a coat rack. Susan turns and sees a smiling Harold standing by the open window. She screams and the young killer runs away.19 years later on Valentine's Day 1980. The grown-up Susan Jeremy (Barbi Benton) has to go to the L.A. County hospital for cancer test results and she tells her ex-husband Tom (Jimmy Stathis) to watch their eight-year-old daughter Eva. Susan's fiancee, Jack (Jon Van Ness), drives her to the hospital and he asks if it is the same hospital where a patient once ran amok. Susan goes inside and heads for Dr. Jacob's office. In the elevator, Susan meets hospital patient Hal (Lanny Duncan), who at first appears bloody and dead but is only napping after enjoying a burger with excessive ketchup. Susan inadvertently goes to the cloudy ninth floor where three men in gas masks are fumigating the tell her to leave. The elevator stops and Susan bangs on the door for help. Meanwhile, Dr. Jacobs is called to the ninth floor (she uses the stairs). Suddenly, the doctor is murdered by someone wearing OR scrubs and a doctor's surgical mask.The elevator starts again, and Susan gets off on the eighth floor. The masked killer goes to Dr. Jacob's office where he takes Susan's file and writes her name on another folder. Susan knocks on the office, forcing the killer to hide in a closet. Susan looks around the empty office and waits on a bench outside. The janitor goes to a room on the ninth floor and finds Jacobs' body hanging upside down in a locker. The killer is at the door and the janitor follows him to another room. The janitor calls out: "hey man, who are you?" The killer grabs the janitor and dunks his face into a sink full of acid. (The killer is wearing appropriate rubber gloves).Susan calls Tom, but her stubborn ex-husband refuses to answer and will not let Eva pick up the phone. A doctor suggests that Susan check the doctor's lounge for the missing Jacobs. Susan meets Harry (Chip Lucia), another doctor, and they go to Jacobs office where Harry looks at Susan's file. After checking the switched X-ray (which shows an advanced state of intestinal cancer), Harry tells Susan that he needs to find an MD to sign the report because he is only an intern.Harry and Susan go to Dr. Saxon's office where Harry (whispering something) gets Saxon to look at Susan's report. Harry leaves and Saxon excuses himself. Susan calls Tom again, and Eva answers. She tells Susan that Tom just went out and left her alone. Susan tells her daughter that she is going to be a little late in picking her up. Just then, nurses Dora and Kitty take Susan to a room where Saxon tells Susan that her cancer test results were inconclusive and that more tests are necessary. Saxon check's Susan, takes some blood samples, and sends her to a room occupied by three strange elderly women. Susan uses the room telephone to call Tom again but the receiver is off the hook (Tom is now home at the house with Eva).Nurse Suzy is in a room typing Susan's report, and Nancy comes in and asks her for a bite to eat. Suzy stays to finish the report and the killer murders the woman by stabbing her to death. The masked killer takes the report out of the typewriter and puts another on in its place. Harry walks in, sees no one, and takes the report sitting in the typewriter. He gives the report to Saxon and Dr. Beam and they determine among themselves that the report is "practically a death warrant." They secretly agree not to tell Susan about her cancer test results to avoid freaking her out.Nancy finds the dead Suzy and she runs out of the room until she finds the masked killer, who breaks her neck with his hands.Dr. Saxon goes to Susan and tells her that she has to stay in the hospital a while due to "discrepancies" in her tests and he admits that the results are serious but refuses to tell her about the results. After Saxon leaves, Susan leaves the room to get away from the eerie women and sees Harry in the hall. The two of them go to Jacobs' office and look at her files. He reads a file, and the tells Susan that someone is playing a con job on her and to wait in her room. He goes to Saxon's office, answers the ringing phone and says to someone on the other end that he will be right up.Meanwhile, Jake awakes, still waiting in his car in the hospital parking garage. He walks into the hospital and is sent by the ground floor receptionist to the eighth floor to look for Susan. He gets to her room and Susan tells him that the doctors will not get her go and they refuse to tell her anything about her medical condition. Jake and Susan head for the elevators but are stopped by Saxon and two nurses. Susan is taken back to her room and Jack is told to wait on the bench by Saxon's office. While waiting there, Jack is called to the ninth floor. He enters a room to see someone sitting in a wheelchair behind a dressing curtain. A voice tells him to come closer; a dead body is sitting in the wheelchair. The killer appears and kills Jack with a surgical drill.Susan is alone in her room (the three women are wondering around on the ninth floor when Jack was walking around), and the killer enters with a big red box, leaving it on the stand next to the bed. Susan sits up, opens the box, and finds Jack's severed head inside. She screams and runs into the doctors lounge. Saxon and Kitty enter and take Susan back to her room, where they find only a cake inside the box. Susan tells Saxon about her file in Jacobs' office (which Harry has).Susan goes to the elevator and hides behind a dressing curtain in the hallway when she hears someone approaching. She sees the masked killer standing by the elevator with a hatchet. She is almost discovered when she drops her lighter, but the killer leaves on the elevator. Susan runs down the stairs to the archive room (for another copy on her file). Saxon is there and tells Susan to go back to her room and again refuses to talk about her file. The killer arrives a minute later and murders Saxon by putting the hatchet into the doctor's head. Susan runs screaming down the hall, but is subdued and strapped to her bed by Dora, Kitty and another doctor.A little later, Dr. Beam comes in to see Susan and he refuses to listen to her rambling that there is a killer loose in the hospital. She bites his finger which results in him sedating her. Meanwhile, Dora is walking down the hall when she is attacked by the killer who stabs her with a giant syringe. The killer then follows Dr. Beam and stabs him in his neck with a large surgical blade as he is looking at Susan's forged X-ray.The killer then moves the unconscious Susan out her room and to a nearby operating room where he unstraps Susan and puts her on an operating table. Susan regains consciousness and tears off the killer's mask and the killer is revealed to be Harry. When she cries out his name, he says "It's not Harry, it's Harold". Harry is the young Harold who murdered David 19 years earlier. When Susan asks why is he doing all this and what does he want. Harry replies: "What I've always wanted: your heart!" Before he can attack, Susan grabs a scalpel off the surgical tray and stabs him with it. She unstraps herself and runs out of the room. Harry chases her to another room where she dumps a jar of flammable liquid on him. The chase leads up to the roof of the hospital where Susan ambushes Harry and beats him with a lead pipe a few times, but Harry still will not go down that easy. When he attacks again, she flicks her lighter and sets Harry afire. Running across the roof in flames, Harry jumps off the roof of the building and falls to a fiery death.The next day, Susan leaves the hospital and is greeted by Tom and Eva.
