Bloody New Year (1987)

A bunch of teenagers (who look much older) go to a fun fair, save a girl from carnie thugs, and barely escape when the carnies chase them. They head out on a sailing trip, but the boat sinks and they wind up on an island where they find a hotel decorated for a new years celebration. That's odd since it's the middle of summer.

They keep hearing people, but no one is there. A ghost maid appears to one girl, which seems innocent enough. But the spirit who appears out of the movie screen in the theater and the monster who springs out of a table are out for blood.

There is a strange time warp involving the 1959 new year celebration, references to Operation Mirror which was a top secret government project, a plane crash, ghosts in mirrors, and just to add to this jumble, the carnies were so upset with our teens that they actually traveled out to the island to get revenge. They never really explain anything and it's not that much of a bloody new year.
