Is There Anything Creepier...

... than an empty carnival?

This isn't even that creepy and it still bugs me out. It was even worse on the day I took it. It was an overcast summer day and this was set up in the parking lot of Eastpoint Mall (Dundalk Represent!). The wind was starting to pick up because a storm was rolling in.

I snapped this picture and then got the hell out of there. I figured if I stuck around I would hear soft, tinkly piano music or the calliope would start up and the merry-go-round would begin moving by itself. Or even worse, I would have heard a chorus of children recite a nursery rhyme really slowly. Ooooooooooooh!!

This shit always gets me. It reminds me of Something Wicked This Way Comes, which was always coming on the Disney Channel when I was a little kid. I don't know what it was about but it looked like some carnival would roll into town and then an evil man with a beard and a top hat would do spooky shit to the kids.

They would always advertise it for Friday nights but I never tuned in. I didn't want to have a heart attack at the age of 10.

Anyway, enjoy my gorgeous art. You deserve it.
