Bonnie awakens to witness Troy being stabbed to death by Twisty, and screams in horror.


Detective Bunch[]

Detective Robert Bunch (portrayed by Dane Rhodes) was investigating the murder of Eudora Tattler but hit a snag when his prime suspects took it on the lam. Luckily for him, his lawman's intuition led him to follow the big road sign advertising a Two-Headed Girl at the Freak Show. However, his attempt to arrest the girls was thwarted by Jimmy Darling, who slit his throat with a razor and, with help from his fellows, dismembered and buried his body.

It was with Bunch's badge that Jimmy attempted to frame Dell Toledo, who turned the tables and sent Meep to his death in jail.

Mr. Hanley[]

Mr. Hanley was the owner of the local toy store. While Twisty is telling his story to Edward Mordrake, a flashback reveals the reason why Twisty murdered Mr. Hanley.

During a time when Twisty was down on his luck and looking for work, he created a few poorly assembled toys and tried to sell them to the toy store owner, who refused Twisty's offer, saying nobody would want to buy them.

Twisty then approaches a child in the store and tries to interest him in one of his toys, but his way of presenting it leaves the boy terrified. Mr. Hanley then orders an enraged Twisty to leave the store, and he storms out.

After a failed suicide attempt, Twisty returns to murder Mr. Hanley. He cuts Mr. Hanley's head off and leaves his severed head on a shelf to be discovered by a clerk the next day.

Andy[]

Andy is a young man who works as a prostitute at the High Noon bar, where he seduces men who go to the bar to vent their repressed homosexuality.  

Dell Toledo, under the false name of "John," establishes a sexual relationship with Andy but, while Andy sees the relationship as something purely sexual and based on the exchange of money, Dell falls in love with the man but is rejected.  

Andy then seduces Dandy Mott, who draws him to the Magic Bus, which formerly belonged to Twisty the Clown. Inside the bus, Dandy proposes sexual intercourse, that Andy accepts willingly finding Dandy extremely attractive. However, while Andy is in his underwear, Dandy places Twisty's mask on his face and brutally stabs the hooker. Strangely, Andy does not die immediately, and Dandy is forced to dismember Andy telling the boy that he is almost making him feel guilty.
