Dare to enter the domain of the elusive Ringmaster and his Freak Show? It is Halloween night, and you and your friends are enjoying the sights and sounds of the traveling Tillman Brothers’ Carnival, which is known for its twisted Freak Show and its mysterious Ringmaster. Intrigued by the macabre, you are amongst the first in line for the nightly freak show, featuring the unbelievable, the unthinkable, and the unknown. The Ringmaster approaches you in line and invites you to have the best seats in the house. As the lucky ones, you and your friends follow him to his dressing room. As you step inside and turn around, the last thing you remember seeing is the Ringmaster’s scarred face before he hits you with his cane. In the background, you hear his cynical voice: “Welcome to my carnival, where the lucky ones become part of the show!” When you awaken, you realize that this Ringmaster doesn’t find his freaks, he makes them. You find the door locked and know that you only have one hour before he returns from his Freak Show in order to escape the grasps of the morbid Ringmaster.
