Cast your eyes, Ladies and Gentlemen, upon a never-before seen marvel! The only one of its kind in existence! The world’s only Hallowe’en sideshow banner! See the mad dance of the Skel-o’lantern to the wild music of late October! Stand aghast at the vaporous specter who bears upon his chest the mystic syllables of an ancient charm! Tremble at the frightful words in the banner’s lower left corner: “The Dead Come Alive!” And feel the goose flesh rise as you read that uncanny blend of invitation and warning there on the parchment beneath our fleshless dancer’s ribcage: “the Barrier between the worlds grows thin! Enter if you Dare!”

From where comes this macabre masterpiece? Strange as it may seem, not a dozen miles as the owl flies from O’Lantern, Longshadow & McCobb’s location, in another half-forgotten New England town you can find Amy Johnquest, the Banner Queen, one of the last virtuoso practitioners of a dying art! Johnquest wields a paint brush possessed of a singular ability: the power to open a doorway to that far-off time when circus caravans prowled the american countryside, bringing to every sleepy hamlet a thousand bewitching fantasies hinting of unimagined worlds!
And now, at O’Lantern, Longshadow & McCobb’s request, Professor Johnquest has crafted a passage to that eerie intersection where the world of the Big-Top and the autumn carnival of Halloween intermingle! This is not for the mere idly curious, Ladies and Gentleman. No, such persons are advised to seek elsewhere for stimulation more suited to their sensibilities. In truth, only one may take possession of this arcane artifact and pass through the eldritch portal! Only One! A true connoisseur of the uncanny! You, there! Right there on the other side of the screen! I can see by your eyes you know yourself to Be That One! Come now, Step right up! And Enter if you Dare!
