Just Clownin' Around: A Molly Story (Circus Metal)

Before the Funhouse, before the Carnival Of Carnage, Molleann Kantell (Molly) was a brilliant dreamer — an aspiring architect and design engineer who wanted to create structures that amazed the world. She loved the thrill of design, the challenge of making the impossible work. But her life was built on unstable foundations: toxic parents, abusive relationships, and years of manipulation that left her scarred and distrustful.

Those experiences planted the seed of her darker nature — a fascination with pain, control, and endurance. Every time someone hurt her, she learned a new layer of human weakness. She began to understand suffering not just as emotion, but as structure — something that could be designed, measured, and, eventually, built.

To escape her reality, Molly became a clown and worked for circus events and carnivals.
Ironically, performing made her happy again. She adored the costumes, the laughter, the joy of bringing smiles to faces that weren’t hurting her for once. But her peace didn’t last. During a ride, a child was gravely injured when a trampoline collapsed under molly's watch. The child survived, but the parents threatened to sue. The circus panicked — they fired Molly and painted her as negligent.

That betrayal cracked what little stability she had left.

Her dark side — the part that understood suffering all too well — finally surfaced completely. Yet, she retained her intelligence, her craftsmanship, and her talent for design. This drove her to create wonders of pain disguised as entertainment.

Molly use her mind of both insanity and intelligence to create her masterpiece: Molly’s Funhouse — a labyrinth of illusions, traps, and chemical horrors. Every death trap was a reflection of her past: deceptive entertainment that hides terror. The screams she once feared became her new applause.

In her mind, she isn’t a monster — she’s a misunderstood creator.
Her abuse taught her how to endure pain, so now she makes others experience it “for fun.”
And through it all, she still loves being a clown — the laughter, the chaos, the performance.

At least that's what the voices in her head tells her.

“Don’t worry… I’m just clownin’ around.”-Molly probably
