The familiar shape of the "Fun" House sends shivers up your spine as usual, but as you draw nearer, a horrid realization dawns on you: that what you knew in your time as an example of disturbing circus-themed archi tecture[sic], was originally a massive outcropping of rock, shaped by the natural erosion of wind and rain into the form of a terrifying grinning clown head.
As you approach, you hear the chanting of sinister incantations. Rings of evil, cabbage-smelling, small-handed carnies circle the hideous monolith as a black-cowled priest raises a curved sacrificial dagger and a grinning kewpie doll to the heavens, shouting invocations to his dark master.
You wisely take to your heels before seeing any more.
