After crushing on Repo! The Genetic Opera, I immediately searched for similar movies. And by “immediately,” I mean as soon as the credits started rolling.
I found one: The Devil’s Carnival.
The movie’s main characters (based on Aesop’s Fables) end up in Hell, which is actually a carnival. I took comfort in knowing that if Hell is a carnival, at least there will be cotton candy.
Here’s what I learned:
- Don’t be too trusting of guys with good hair. They’ll strap you to a spinning wheel of death and throw a knife into your heart.

I would never hurt you. Now let me sharpen my knives….
- Don’t kiss carnival women. They’ll bite your ear off.
- Be content when you already have enough. Being greedy will lead to you lose everything…including your clothes.
- Even love can’t change someone’s true nature.
- Even Hell has rules. For example: No crying “Wolf,” “Shark,” or “Sasquatch.” Safety first, you know.
Most importantly, I learned that if you end up someplace with 666 rules…you’re in big trouble.
