Carnage Park 2016

In the blistering desert of 1978, two experienced criminals, “Scorpion Joe” and Lenny, found themselves in a desperate escape, dragging along their naive hostage, Vivian. Following a catastrophic robbery attempt, Lenny lay dead in the sand, his body punctured by bullets from their rushed flight. As Vivian’s shocking reality began to unfold, she disclosed that her ill-fated visit to the bank was not to rob but to secure a loan that would save her family’s farm from impending foreclosure.

Meanwhile, an unseen adversary took precise action against Joe’s vehicle, making one of its tires go flat. As Vivian stealthily reached for a nearby switchblade, Joe, overconfident and reckless, handcuffed her to the steering wheel, foolishly asserting that he would eliminate anyone who dared obstruct them. Unbeknownst to him, his arrogance would soon lead to his downfall. The hidden sniper, Wyatt Moss, asserted his dominion over the territory, justifying Joe’s fate as a necessary measure for his agenda. Despite Vivian’s pleas for clemency, Wyatt chose to render her unconscious with a strong sedative.

Transitioning to Wyatt’s fortified hideout, the tension escalated when his brother, the sheriff, unexpectedly arrived, probing into Vivian’s situation. Wyatt’s feigned innocence came with a stern caution from the sheriff: “She’s too well known to be silenced.” Unaware that Vivian had regained consciousness, he discovered herself shackled to Joe’s lifeless body. Determined to take vengeance, she stumbled upon an antiquated PA system attached to a record player, filling the room with haunting siren sounds. Wyatt, waiting in the shadows, prepared to strike, but Vivian found a way to escape for her life, navigating a perilous path that included a precarious pit and a seemingly deceased woman clutching a homemade weapon.

Seizing the moment, Vivian revived the woman, only to witness Wyatt’s ruthless attack, cutting her down with a hail of gunfire. As the sheriff burst into the scene, Vivian recognized a critical opportunity to reclaim her power. Distracted by the chaos, she lunged for Wyatt’s rifle, ready to turn the tables on her captor.

Abandoning Travis’s lifeless body, rifle firmly in her grasp, she embarked on a harrowing journey within the fences of the compound. Her path led her to the agonized cries of a man ensnared in a bear trap—Travis. Despite her concerns, she was compelled to help him escape, only to discover the grim reality of his immobility, trapped by the electric fencing surrounding them. Travis’s despair echoed around them as Vivian promised to return with assistance after allegedly dealing with Wyatt.

As she continued her search, she stumbled upon a horrifying trophy room filled with chilling trophies of humanity’s worst impulses—human ears among them. Meanwhile, Wyatt’s sinister voice crackled through the CB radio, mocking her resolve. Gunfire suddenly erupted, shifting her focus to the approaching sheriff, who would soon become her next target.

With precise calculation, she neutralized him, but the full extent of Wyatt’s deception hit her like a freight train, leaving her shaken. Ignoring her shaken state, she seized a chance to escape through a concealed trapdoor that led to the depths of a foreboding mine. The air was thick with the scent of death as she navigated through a nightmarish landscape filled with lifeless bodies, abandoned dolls, and a dissonant chorus of music playing from a PA system that seemed to delight in her suffering.

As Wyatt relentlessly pursued her, their shootout triggered a cave-in, sealing the fate of Wyatt in uncertainty. His deranged laughter and frantic ravings filled the dark void, a chilling reminder of the horror that compelled him.

After enduring the pitch-black depths, Vivian persevered and ultimately broke through a rotting exit, emerging into the glaring light outside. With a mixture of hysteria and laughter, she sought to rid herself of the phantoms that plagued her. A note later discovered would reveal she managed to escape, but not without enduring deep scars. The bleak evidence of multiple bodies found in the compound would forever mark Wyatt’s sadistic legacy—one that allowed him to evade the grasp of justice, leaving Vivian haunted by their violent confrontation.
