There's some exposition about a gay bar in town and graffiti reading 'stick nails in eyes of all fagots (for god)' and the surviving victim says he also saw a clown in the canal, with thousands of balloons in his hand.

The youngest kid says there was a clown in the canal at the time of the homicide, and wouldn't you know it, the cop is the brother of the boy who found Georgie's body a quarter century ago. These three kids confess to killing a gay dude because he won a paper hat at the fair. Then the clown rips the kid's arm off and he dies.įlash forward to 1984.
