What happens

Carnival of Souls (also known as Wes Craven Presents: Carnival of Souls) is a 1998 American psychological horror film directed by Adam Grossman, and starring Bobbie Phillips, Larry Miller, and Shawnee Smith. A loose remake of Herk Harvey's 1962 film of the same name, it follows a woman haunted by a carnival clown who murdered her mother years prior. It was produced by Michael Meltzer, Peter Soby, and Lisa Harrison and executive produced by Wes Craven. The project was originally conceived as a sequel to the original film before being reworked as a reimagining of the source material (Candace Hilligoss, the star of the original film, had written the screenplay for a sequel which went undeveloped). Filming took place in mid-1997, and reshoots were undertaken by executive producer Anthony Hickox following principal photography. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
