CIRCUS SATANICUS
A motley crew of paranormal investigators, thrill-seekers, and misfit oddballs venture into the eerie, forgotten depths of Hobbs Paradise, drawn by the whispers of unexplained disappearances. Beneath the tangled canopy, they stumble upon an abandoned carnival tent— rotting in the shadows, the scent of cotton candy long gone sour. But this is no ordinary circus.
As night falls, the sinister truth emerges: demonic clowns awaken to their presence. Twisted by dark magic, these nightmarish jesters feed on fear and flesh, their laughter echoing like the toll of a funeral bell. Each investigator must confront their own deepest fears as they unravel the dark secrets of this cursed carnival and fight to survive the deadly games set by their clownish tormentors.

WELCOME
I've been incredibly lucky to have had talented individuals join our "Pay to Play" perks before, like Danny Langston, who brought Stabby the Clown to life in Hellvira on the Run. His performance added so much to the character, and now, we're thrilled to have Stabby as the main villain in a new movie!
I believe there’s amazing talent out there looking for a chance to shine, and this movie might be that opportunity! Circus Satanicus will have Pay to Play perks for all roles, from extras to support, truly bringing together the spirit and talent of the indie horror community to make this film a reality.
Our goal is fixed set at $12K, and if we don’t meet that, no one loses their investment and life goes on without Circus Satanicus. We're not creating multiple campaigns; this is a straightforward call for support to reach the minimum we need. The funds will primarily go toward Location, SFX, Costumes, Props, Actors, and Set, and if we can reach our stretch goals, I'd love to add more characters (Perks and Casting Calls)! While we initially aimed for a $40K target to achieve realistic effects with a professional FX artist, we've streamlined it to make it feasible. Thank you for considering being part of this journey with us!
Circus Satanicus takes a bold step away from the comedy-driven horror of Stabby the Clown’s earlier appearances, embracing a darker, more atmospheric approach. This new direction leans fully into the horror genre, delivering an experience that is both chilling and immersive.
By focusing on terror and the supernatural rather than humor, the film allows for richer storytelling, unsettling visuals, and a deeper exploration of the sinister world surrounding Stabby. This evolution not only adds layers to the character’s legacy but also offers fans a fresh and thrilling perspective.

ABOUT ME
Hi there! I'm Morgan Welborn—a filmmaker who loves wearing many hats. I’ve had the pleasure of working as a writer, director, editor, set designer, sound mixer, VFX artist, prop designer, and even a sometimes-actor! So far, I’ve brought two short films to life, Wicked Jack: Ethereal Pilgrim and Hellvira on the Run, as well as a feature-length show called Hellvira's Haunted Asylum of Horror (Now playing on Prime Direct)
I’m passionate about every step of the movie-making process, from planning budgets and designing characters to filming on location and putting it all together in post-production. It’s incredibly fulfilling, and I’m eager to keep the momentum going! My only goal is to make the best horror film I can, with your help!
Here are my links: https://linktr.ee/WickedJack
I have 12 campaigns with Indiegogo and Kickstarter with 100% perk delivery on every successful campaign!
BUDGET 12k*
3.3K - SFX Masks, Weapon Props, Costumes for all the PRIMARY CLOWNS.
.8K - Location (8 days)
