CLOSED FOR THE SEASON has a great deal of things going for it: creepy locale, creepy carnie caretaker, creepy monsters creeping around the surrounding woods.

CLOSED FOR THE SEASON feels very much like walking through a spooky amusement park funhouse on a bad acid trip.

In a Nutshell: A very cool indie supernatural horror thriller that will have Stephen King fans grinning from ear to ear.
(HORRORPHILIA REVIEW)
The question the movie asks is. Are Kristy and James just characters from the various urban legends themselves? Closed for the Season is a supernatural and psychological mystery, in the tradition of TWILIGHT ZONE featuring supernatural elements driven by the personalities of the characters...
Everyone has fun at a carnival... except for Kristy, the beautiful young woman who wakes up in the dead of night beneath an aged rollercoaster in the abandoned ruin of Chippewa Lake Park. But when she tries to escape the park a tortured and deadly past haunts her and ensures she is in for a very rough ride indeed.
