There are a thousand sideshows playing thousands of small towns in 1936 when the Knuckles Brothers Show rolls into yet another town, ready to delight and dazzle the town folk with amazing acts and puzzling oddities. As they set up their tents they could not know that within days several of them would be dead, ripped savagely apart by a seemingly inhuman force, their souls stolen from their limp and bloody bodies.

    Plot Synopsis:

    Follows a seasoned detective on the trail of a ruthless killer intent on slaughtering prostitutes along West Hollywood ’s Sunset Strip. It appears that the murderer’s grisly methods are identical to that of London ’s infamous 19th century psychopath Jack the Ripper – a relentless serial killer who was never caught by police. To make matters worse, the detective soon notices the parallels between the crimes committed by the West Hollywood stalker and those of a serial murderer incarcerated years ago. Could the wrong man be behind bars?

    The story of three young teenagers named Mark (Gregory), James (Payne) and Chasely (Lawrence) who stumble upon a serial killer’s hunting ground. Instead of going straight to the police with the evidence they’ve uncovered, Mark and James decide to blackmail the serial killer into killing the man (Dorman) who committed a horrible crime against the two boys years ago. Needless to say, all does not go as planned.
