Crazy small world. My husband’s ex-In-laws, Robert and Phoebe Kaylor, directed and wrote Carny. It was the only film Robert Kaylor directed (no big surprise why).

ARE YOU KIDDING????? Omg, to even be adjacent to the human who made that bizarre and unsettling film! When next you're in Amelia, I shall kiss the hem of your garment ;-)

Did you ever get the chance to see Guillermo del Toro's recent "Nightmare Alley"? A little too well done for me, there was no one I could feel invested in to keep me watching. It did catch the creepifying aspect of that world. (Again, a little too well for me.)

I never could take any pleasure in those things. I don't recall ever being to one that had any manner of freak show, and the rides never thrilled me that much.

You're the third person who recommended it, so I'm going in! Tonight, in fact. If I can keep my eyes (and my mind) open.
