Bilbo the Clown Fights Evil

horror

Failed RV salesman, William Bozwick, thought things could not get any worse, as he slipped into a world of quiet dejection. His only source of joy was applying makeup, putting on a costume and becoming ‘Bilbo the Clown’ to entertain the children at the local hospital.

With the aid of an elderly, hotrod-driving nun known as Sister Sledge, he is given the ability to see into the spirit realm. What he sees puts him in a desperate struggle for the soul of a young girl. With no skills, no plan, and little hope, this failure of a man must stop powerful demonic forces from stealing her soul and unleashing an ancient evil upon the earth. The one thing he knows for sure is that, ‘it’s time to start clowning around.’

Demon's Carnival

horror

The promise of fun and thrills arrives with the rides and amusements atop the trucks of the traveling carnival. But beneath the balloons and lights lurks a foreboding monster seeking only to fulfill his darkest desires. The powerful and twisted desires of a perverted mind that seeks the young and the pretty to use like play things. To use and destroy. To feed a never-ending desire for an unhinged ecstasy.

Join Bilbo the Clown and the good nun Sister Sledge, as they are again thrust into the icy demonic grip of evil. An evil unlike any they have yet encountered.

This time Bilbo has met his match in more ways than you can imagine when he reaches the Demon’s Carnival.
