SYNOPSIS
Based on the true story of Chicago’s notorious multi-murderer. Guiding us through the story is a devilish carnival barker named Hatch. Ticket price includes a “ride” on the Great Wheel. An edifying spectacle not to be missed!
Ben Pitezel scores a bit of luck with a new job in Chicago but soon discovers that his new position with smooth, successful Dr. Holmes is really a deal with the devil. Can Ben reap the rewards of his station without paying the price?
who was H.H. Holmes?
Holmes (1861-1896) was a con artist and alleged murderer who resided in Chicago during the incredible 1893 World’s Fair. He ran the infamous “Murder Hotel” which no longer stands.
Interestingly enough, though many people refer to Holmes as a serial killer, he wouldn’t fit the bill! Motivated by self-advancement rather than psychopathy, Holmes eventually confessed to over 2 dozen murders… though how many of them were real?
