The episode’s title directly invokes the 1962 cult horror film Carnival of Souls , a movie about a woman haunted by a traumatic past and drawn to an abandoned carnival—a liminal space between life and death. Original Sin literalizes this homage. The derailed carnival, resurrected for one night in Millwood, is not mere set dressing. It is a character: a decaying, gaudy monument to past tragedies, specifically the 1999 Y2K dance massacre that haunts the town’s matriarchs.
