The carnival is spectacular, beyond their wildest hopes, emerging like magic out of the night. The ancient pier has been turned to a fall scene of music, food booths and activities. Hundreds of people are there, out for a good time. The decorations are great, spooky, cheesy, corny and probably a little bit too on point. The carnie freaks are outstanding, no expense wasted at some truly horrific costumes. The clown is especially striking, brilliantly done up and extremely sorrowful as she invites them to the fun house. The fun house is all a fun house is meant to be, but perhaps cornier and a bit more infantile than the pair of 13 year-olds had hoped for, maybe they are becoming too old, but it was still fun. When they go, the dock is eerily silent, and the hundreds of people are missing. The clown meets them in her melancholy style and attempts to help them understand that the fun house is not as harmless as it seems.
