Circuses and Carnivals make for excellent horror film locations

Growing up, I had watched a number of horror and suspense thriller movies that took place in the background of circuses and carnivals. I found the circus and carnival settings to be highly effectively because of the unique atmosphere, the gaiety, the bright, multicolored twinkling lights, the exotic attractions, the gathering of so many strangers together in one place to be entertained by strangers.
