Alan Rudolph (Mortal Thoughts, Breakfast of Champions) directs from a script he co-wrote with Roman Valenti. Andrew Prine, Manuela Thiess, Sherry Alberoni, and Chuck Niles star.

Terror Circus was remastered in high definition from the original camera negative in 2015. Special features are listed below.

Special features:

Born Again! Returning to Terror Circus - Interviews with actress Jennifer Ashley, associate producer Marvin Almeas, costume designer Allan A. Apone, and special effects creators Byrd Holland and Douglas J. White

Three beautiful young women are bound for Las Vegas to become showgirls. It's not long before their car breaks down, stranding them in the middle of the Nevada desert. After spending the night in their car, a man named Andre (Andrew Prine) offers them a lift to his place and a tow truck. But the girls quickly learn there's more to Andre than meets the eye and they're soon taken prisoner, joining a slew of other women. Andre fancies himself a ringleader and these girls are trained and whipped like circus animals. Meanwhile, Andre's daddy is a hideous mutant locked in an outhouse shed, and one of his captives reminds Andre of his dead mommy. Escape seems hopeless at first, but when the pretty girls don't show up for their gig, their agent, Derek Moore (Chuck Niles) starts looking for them.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present, your ringmaster.

More characters to be introduced once I fix my mouse.

When I was going through your art I fell in love with your "Terror Circus" concepts, so you can imagine my disappointment when I found out that accompanying fic did not exist. Is it completely dead, or does it still stand a chance of materializing someday?

It still stands a chance of materializing someday.

For some reason, the way I write fanfics is to sort of concept art a general idea, then hoard it for a while, muttering my precious over it, and then I tell the tale to an imaginary audience when I'm alone, do more concept art, and finally sit down and write it in fits and starts, agonize over it a while, run it past the invisible shadow audience, and then finally post it after obsessing over every word written.

Somehow, this formula works very well.  I'm hesitant to change it.

So yeah, basically there's some more sketches in my book and a rough outline on my hard drive, which is broken into "BACKSTORY", "actual fucking story" and "Jason Todd is a fucking troll."

And, of course, for completion's sake, there's an alternate universe where Damian is involved in a completely different way (which I like a lot and am definitely going to develop, since it's a little more realistic/defined way of bringing him in, with less OCs for people to moan about).

Also I have a job and that interferes with my ability to art and write. :C
