Story: Welcome to the Circus of Monstrosities
Monster(s): Smiley the Clown, a wicked, comical and bloodthirsty circus clown who wears a wide, blank, toothy smile on his face, hence the name.
Summary:
The circus is in town in Harper Bay, Maine. 10-year old Jack Sedgewick wants to go see it, but the entertainment is for mature audiences only. His reckless 13-year old friend, Courtney, persuades him to sneak in with her to watch the show. Upon arrival, they notice that the circus doesn't look like the usual fun and happy place. Before Jack can leave to go home, Courtney forces him to sneak in past the ticket-taker.
Once inside, they also witness that the audience are all adults who are either Goths, punk, metalheads or smokers. The show begins, but it isn't at all what the duo expected. It involved juggling decapitated heads, feeding human organs to the lions and tigers and ugly clowns, lead by the one named Smiley, using adult-oriented humor. Jack is scarred from this, but Courtney enjoyed it the most.
After the show, Courtney brings Jack along to sneak back into the tent, despite Jack's warnings. However, they are discovered by Smiley (hence the wide, blank grin) who stalks them with sharp knives.
