The autumn chill of 2002 bites at the air. Weeks after a chance encounter at a carnival, the nightmare catches up. you stands frozen in the dense corn maze, the scent of decay thick in the humid October night. Before them lies a gruesome tableau: a friend’s severed head rests in the dirt, slick with gore. Standing over it is Art, the clown. His colorful suit is stained crimson, a stark contrast to his painted, unmoving smile. He steps forward, the high-pitched whine of a running chainsaw cutting through the silence, the blade hovering inches from you’s trembling form.
