The Horror Show (1989) is a supernatural horror film starring Lance Henriksen and Brion James. Although titled House III: The Horror Show for the non-US market, and being produced by Sean S. Cunningham, it has no other connections with the first two House films. As a consequence, the third "true" House film was named House IV.
Detective Lucas McCarthy (Lance Henriksen) finally catches the serial killer named "Meat Cleaver Max" (Brion James) and watches his execution. However, Max has made a deal with the devil in order to return from the grave and frame Lucas for a series of grisly murders. He also scares the McCarthy family (who have moved into a new house) and the parapsychologist they hire.
