Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the carnival, TitanMen lifts the curtain on another unique fantasy. Starring ten built studs in nearly three hours of footage, Funhouse raises the bar again following the groundbreaking, award-winning Carny and its incendiary follow up Cirque Noir. Two friends stumble on a dark carnival and can’t resist temptation as they’re beckoned onto a funhouse ride, where scenes of masculine aggression and beauty unfold. Funhouse is a dark yet colorful trip you don’t want to miss.

Marlon Riggs, with assistance from other gay Black men, especially poet Essex Hemphill, celebrates Black men loving Black men as a revolutionary act. The film intercuts footage of Hemphill reciting his poetry, Riggs telling the story of his growing up, scenes of men in social intercourse and dance, and various comic riffs, including a visit to the "Institute of Snap!thology," where men take lessons in how to snap their fingers: the sling snap, the point snap, the diva snap.
