Welcome to CarnEvil Freakshow

CarnEvil Freakshow is a set of 2 horror films: CarnEvil Freakshow &  CarnEvil Freakshow: LEGEND of the RINGMASTER.  

This is a story about gruesome revenge from a hellish perspective. It gives us an answer to the age-old question of what happens when bad things are done to innocent people.   But, revenge comes at a cost.

Set in today's environment, the first film, CarnEvil Freakshow, is a revenge thriller about three innocent people in the town of Summersville who fall prey to vile, shameless acts of physical violence, rape and greed. 

Unknowingly to the assailants, their actions ignite and release the fury of Hell’s executioner, the “Ringmaster”, and his evil horde of carnival freaks who seek justice on the accused and will drag their souls to Hell.  

With its Origin set during the turn of the century, 1920, right after world war I, "The LEGEND of the RINGMASTER"  tells the story of how the curse began.

A renowned Ringmaster, Randell Clemons, his family and a merry band of sideshow freaks set up a carnival outside a small midwestern town.   The Ringmaster and his family loved and cared for these people stricken with odd and unique deformities.   

As the Carnival travelled through the small town of Summersville, the town’s people were angered by the mere sight of the “freaks.”  They saw them as evil abominations and wanted them out of their town.  

Later, in the evening, an angry mob of townspeople approached the Carnival. With pitchforks and torches in hand, they tore through the carnival gates setting everything on fire killing the Ringmaster’s family and all the “Freaks.”  A few of the townspeople grabbed the Ringmaster, tied him up, and beat him to within an inch of his life.   Pulling out a knife from his pocket, one of the townsmen said, “Since you like freaks so much, we’ll make you into one”.   They tore off his clothes, sliced him up with a knife, castrated him, and then set him on fire.  The men walked away laughing.  While screaming in agony, just before his death, the Ringmaster vowed to return and take vengeance upon those who did this evil act.  

Legend has it that in those last moments, in return for his resurrection to take vengeance on the evil doers, the Ringmaster sold his soul to the devil.  It is said that his rage was so great that Satan deemed him Hell’s Executioner. 

Now, whenever a single drop of blood and tears from three innocent souls occur on the same day, in the same town, Hell releases the Ringmaster and his unholy horde of evil freaks to collect the souls of the accused and drag them to Hell. 

CarnEvil Freakshow was spawned out of my fascination and passion for all things Halloween. When it comes to horror movies, I wanted something more than just a mindless slasher fest. I wanted a story that has some relevance with issues going on in our society today. Things like bullying, elder abuse, drug addiction, and sexual abuse.

I believe everything in this world has a purpose. So, on the subject of Hell, one might ask, what is its purpose? I believe it serves as a spiritual mechanism to restore balance between good and evil. 

Afterall, if God is the creator of all things, and Hell being one of His creations, then Hell is his repository for vengeance: “Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord!” 

I think the audience will connect with the victims in this story. I was the “AIDEN TURNER” in the story; beaten and bullied when growing up. My former wife was the “CHLOE EMMERSON” in the story; raped and brutally beaten. And, my mother was the “LILY BISHOP” in the story; an elderly woman beaten and taken advantage of by a younger sibling for her money to pay for his drug and alcohol habits.

CARNEVIL FREAKSHOW is about redemption and justice. When wrongs are suffered the Ringmaster and his Hellish horde will be there to set things right.
