After the toymaker's wife died, nothing made him happy. Making trains and dolls was no relief. One day, a man from the traveling circus visited him and promised to cure all of his pain and make him laugh again if he made him one particular toy. Desperate for his melancholy to cease, the toymaker agreed. Now, no one has seen him since, but locals say behind the clown's twisted face they can see the toymaker's eyes when the Fright in the Box strikes.
