Monkey’s Magic Merry Go Round
Welcome to the Neighborhood.
Directed by Aidan Leary
Produced by Yale Entertainment, Great Escape
A psychological horror that weaponizes childhood nostalgia, trapping a fractured protagonist in a corrupted familiar space where trusted companions become threats.
After a mysterious bout of amnesia, a beloved children’s television host struggles to piece together his fractured memories, only to find his once-cheerful puppet co-stars behaving with sinister intent. As reality unravels, the line between performance and nightmare begins to blur.
