EPISODE ONE (4/25/09)
"Run, little girl... hide,
little girl..."
Lauren Nasman as "The Girl."
The lawyer (Marz Richards) of a
deceased carnival owner,
whose death was reportedly accidental, reads the will.
His sister Geraldine (Alyssa
Preston) is grief stricken...
but recovers when told she's inherited her brother's fortune.
With his mother, Lenore (Sarah Schweppe), at
his
side, son Danny (Joe Fria) waits to learn his share.
His full inheritance: one
ticket to the carnival.
There are new acts at the
carnival, including Vinchenzo the magician (Marz Richards)
and the sexy siamese Van Winkle twins (Kat Bardot & Jennifer
Fenten),
who are "A three way to go, what a show."
Creepy puppeteer Craven Moon
(Pat Towne).
Craven Moon demonstrates his
no-strings puppetry skills on the lifeless Harlequin (Jaime
Robledo).
Danny confides in carnival
barker Jerry, "The Gator Man" (Bryan Krasner)
that he believes his father's death was no accident,
and asks Jerry's help in investigating.
Left alone, the Harlequin jerks
to life... and sings a warning.
EPISODE TWO (5/2/09)
"Welcome, Gentlemen..."
Torch (Ronald Keck) breathes
flame.
Danny begins to ask questions,
but the carnies won't tell him much.
The Van Winkle twins warn
Craven Moon
that Danny's asking questions.
In letters to his mother, Danny
says that a woman who was sawed in half
never returned... and there have been other dissapearances.

Teller (Alyssa Preston) - and, with the other
carny folk gathered 'round, she fingers Danny as his own
father's murderer!

The Girl (now played by Bianca
Caruso) doesn't know how she got here.
Craven Moon chloroforms her as she begins to question what's
happening.
"Why would I come back to this
awful place to find out
who murdered my father if I was the one who killed him!?"
Lenore frets about her son's
safety.
Torch tells Danny he knows the
Bubble Girl (Lauren Nasman). Her name is Cassandra,
and she and Danny grew up next door to each other... until her
parents were murdered.
When Jerry doubts the Fortune
Teller's powers, she points out that
she only said that Danny is a murderer... not who he killed.
And he hasn't killed anybody... yet.

Meanwhile, Craven Moon and
Vinchenzo put
their terrible plan for The Girl into motion.

strangles Tina Van Winkle;
afterwards, he doesn't seem to understand why he did it.
The other carnies surround him, looking smug.

You know too much!"
