When the moon is full and trees are bare
walk to the cemetery if you dare
where skeletons rot and corpses fester
locate the tomb with the skull of a jester
feed him a token all shiny and new
it is then that CarnEvil will return for YOU!

CarnEvil is a 1998 halloween-themed rail shooter by Midway. It features 4 levels with tons of different enemies, nice pre-rendered backgrounds and a fantastic original soundtrack. As far as I know, Midway planned to port this game over to PlayStation 2 but cancelled it for unknown reasons.

In the operator menu, there is an option to switch off the big baby boss from the freak show level, which is then replaced by a big dead teddy (deaddy). Maybe Midway thought it could be disturbing to shoot a baby, I don't know. Anyway, I added the alternate boss to the end of the video.

Note: There is a 2 seconds sequence of audio missing in the freak show level. This was due to sync problems during the recording, that I had to fix in Premiere Pro. -
