Once a respected surgeon, Dr. Harry Gooch is now a psychotic embodiment of evil within the medical field. Expelled from Europe for his deranged and inhumane experiments, this twisted Russian doctor took pleasure in mutilating the human body under the guise of surgery. His horrifying procedures included stitching victims together, unnecessary amputations, and inflicting unrelenting pain—all performed without anesthesia, compassion, or conscience. Driven by madness and a thirst for suffering, Dr. Gooch no longer heals—he hunts. If you hear the scrape of a hatchet in the dark, run. He’s already chosen you as his next experiment.

Born from the ashes of the ancient ones, Mortis arose in the catacombs of the forgotten, where shadows danced and darkness reigned.

Once a mortal, Mortis was chosen by elder gods to oversee the realm of the dead. Honored and feared, he wielded immense power.

Corruption and power-hunger consumed him, driving him to defy his creators. Cast out and cursed, Mortis fell into darkness, his soul forever tainted. Yet, he rose anew, reborn from the ashes of his own demise.

Mortis, the harbinger of darkness, forever doomed to roam and stalk the living delivering eternal torment.

Born in the small town of Edge Hill to two gypsy carnies, Eggman (govt. name William Starkey) was destined for darkness. He never knew his Daddy and his Momma was an abusive, pill addicted floozy that baked meat pies on the side. From a very young age William’s violent tendencies blossomed into full fledged petty crimes and a cavalcade of fist fights in local establishments. This track eventually landed him in prison for armed robbery and running an illegal cock fighting ring. Upon release he took up a job as a short order cook at a local greasy spoon called Flo’s Diner. This is where he got the nickname Eggman because of his savant like skills on the grill. It stuck, and as he changed professions to joining a local rodeo as a bull dodging clown his violent nature began to reappear. As with most jobs he was fired (this time for scooping out a fellow clown’s eyeball with a spoon while he slept) and went on to join The Smith’s Family Carnival. This was a traveling group of misfits and scumbags, so he fit right in. When the Carnival landed in Florida at Fright Nights, Eggman put down roots as he found a home amongst the Family of Freaks, terrorizing the general public and spewing vitriol at a machine gun pace.

Misfit was once a respected trauma psychologist, but a hypnotized goat incident sparked a "full psychological disco meltdown," ending her traditional career. Undeterred, she transformed an abandoned asylum into The Cuckoo's Nest, a chaotic haven where she applies her own brand of therapy. With her trusty bug zapper wand, "Doctor Sizzle," and her loyal sidekick Mr. Chitters, a sophisticated hallucination with a British accent, Misfit navigates the blurred lines between sanity and madness.

As the Crazed Clown Queen of The Cuckoo's Nest, Misfit's methods are unorthodox and unpredictable, involving sock puppets, interpretive dance, and yelling at ceiling tiles. Despite the chaos, her patients seem to benefit from her approach, and she fiercely protects them. Mr. Chitters offers witty remarks and sage advice, making him an integral part of Misfit's life and therapy sessions.

Misfit's world is a whirlwind of color, sound, and madness, where therapy is "clown school for the soul." With her punk clown attire, crazed white hair, and bedazzled bug zapper, she's a force to be reckoned with. Whether she's zapping bugs or leading dance battles, Misfit is a true original, living life on her own terms and defying the rules of conventional therapy.

Bradley P. Diddles, once a familiar face on the traveling carnival circuit, has reinvented himself as Moldy D. Clown. His gruff demeanor and worn denim trousers now hidden beneath a layer of long hair, exaggerated grease makeup, and a tattered clown suit. The carnival's nomadic lifestyle had provided the perfect cover for Diddles' shady past, but when law enforcement began closing in, he knew it was time to disappear. Moldy, his new alter ego, was born from the ashes of his former self. With a twisted grin and an unsettling laugh, Moldy entertained children by day, while Diddles' secrets remained locked away, hidden behind the painted-on smile. The scent of sugary treats and greasepaint replaced the stench of tobacco and sweat, but the memories of his previous life lingered, waiting to resurface.

Meet Chuckles, the enigmatic clown with a twisted flair for entertainment. He feeds on fear, fueled by the subtlest twitch of human movement. His persona swings between outrageous antics and unsettling calmness. Chuckles shows no quarter to those who disrespect him or his "family of freaks," but beneath the painted-on smile lies a soft spot for children and the elderly.

This complex clown walks a delicate balance between terror and tenderness. His perpetual grin belies his true nature – a master of manipulation, always ready to strike fear into the hearts of the unsuspecting. After years in the shadows, Chuckles has emerged, prepared to unleash his unique brand of horror on the world.

Jedadieah "Jed" Slaughters was born in the depths of the South Florida swamps, a world away from the small Kentucky town where his family's dark secrets were unearthed. His parents, Al and an unnamed mother, fled their home after authorities closed in on their butcher shop, uncovering the horrific truth behind the meat they sold.

Growing up in the swamps, Jed learned to survive in a harsh environment, shaped by the shadows of his family's past. The isolation and danger of the swamps likely honed his instincts and resourcefulness, but the weight of his family's legacy may forever define him.

Benji, Fright Nights' mysterious custodian, moves with unsettling precision, handling gruesome tasks with calm efficiency. Amidst severed limbs and ravenous cockroaches, he dispatches screaming guests with swift jack-knife justice, inspiring awe and fear.
