Horror has been the theme of the season so far, as this week sees the release of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It . There's also a lost George A. Romero film coming to Shudder next week. The Amusement Park  was deemed to be too disturbing for its time, which is why it went unseen for decades.
