ABOUT TWISTED CARNIVAL

C. G. Hamil of Twisted Carnival

Twisted Carnival is a gateway into a world of supernatural horror, and the tent that every story in it lives under.

Since 1996, C. G. Hamil has been teaching himself whatever a project demanded, ever since his friend Derek Johnson showed him that anything he wanted to learn, he could learn on his own. Photography, design, video, code — none of it aimed at horror at the time.

In 2013 he aimed all of it at a horror story he had been working on for years. That story became the Twisted Carnival universe and its first characters: OzBo, Akain, LoSho, and the Ringmaster. A year later came the film Documentary of OzBo, shot independently and screened across the Southeast.

In 2020, Hamil tore the project down and rebuilt it — new cast, new footage, quality over speed. Chapters 1 and 2 went online in 2021.

Today the flagship story runs under the name Norman Barley’s Side Show, where a showman transforms people into oddities for display and the practitioners of the MuLock Tribe try to stop him. Beside it, Betty Rage carries that same madness somewhere new. Twisted Carnival has become the tent they all stand under — films, novels, video games, and merchandise, all made in-house.
