Carnival of Sorrows
In 2014 a small English town was terrorised by a supernatural Carnival of murderers and sadists... events were hidden in whispers and rumour... but now at last the truth will be revealed.
From the Case Files of Gabriel Cushing and Melanie Lancley, England's most prominent paranormal investigators, comes...
CARNIVAL OF SORROWS
Drawing influence from classic British horror, eighties fantasy-horror, and contemporary supernatural investigation narratives, "Carnival of Sorrows" hopes to unsettle viewers with a blend of psychological fear, gruesome practical effects and atmospheric storytelling.
"A marvelous 21st Century tribute to Doctor Who of the 70s and 80s with the charm or a classic Amicus or Hammer Horror horror film, Carnival Of Sorrows is a modern urban fairytale"
Nathan Head, Actor in "Hellriser" and "Robert & The Toymaker".
When Gabriel gets a call from an old friend of his father's, Dr Albert Parker, he and his student Melanie head off to investigate. But when they arrive, Dr Parker is missing and something is preying on the unsuspecting town.
Jenny Marwick is struggling to get by after the loss of her mother. It's hard enough coping with college and losing touch with her friends but now she's hearing creepy music and having unsettling dreams.
As they delve deeper they reveal the Carnival’s disturbing past and frightening portents of its future. With each step they fall further into a world inhabited by demonic clowns, freakish living dolls and other twisted creatures. And Gabriel learns, the hardest demons to face are your own.
