Most overrated slasher of the early 80's

After having this film recommended to me by many, as well as it having nearly a 6/10 rating on here AND being directed by Tobe Hooper I went in to it with my expectations set pretty high. Sadly this film is a great example of how hype can kill a film. This movie had no suspense, bad lighting, unlikeable and annoying characters, bad story, terrible script, the killer/monster looked like the thing from the goonies.. I can't think of one thing good about this film. I mean I guess it had the barebones laid out for it to be good but it just couldn't deliver. How could you possibly make a bad horror film that takes place within a carnival haunted house? The answer is.. The funhouse. I doubt I'll ever check out the remake but I betcha it's better than this.
