Short Subject: 'No Joy'

Ed. Note: Why are amusement parks so easily made into creepy/scary settings in countless movies? 

Filmmaker Mike Petty knows, as he demonstrates with his four-minute film, “No Joy” (2011), which was filmed in a abandoned, decaying amusement park in Wichita, Kansas; in its day it was called Joyland. Without the benefit of a plot or characters, Petty makes the viewer wonder what sort of fright may be lurking outside the frame.
