   Nightmare Alley is an upcoming American psychological thriller   
   film[1][2] directed by Guillermo del Toro with a screenplay by   
   del Toro and Kim Morgan, based on the 1946 novel of the same   
   name by William Lindsay Gresham.   
      
   " Nightmare Alley begins with an extraordinary description of a   
   carnival-show geek-alcoholic and abject and the object of the   
   voyeuristic crowd's gleeful disgust and derision-going about   
   his work at a county fair. Young Stan Carlisle is working as a   
   carny, and he wonders how a man could fall so low. There's no   
   way in hell, he vows, that anything like that will ever happen   
   to him.   
      
   " And since Stan is clever and ambitious and not without a   
   useful streak of ruthlessness, soon enough he's going places.   
   Onstage he plays the mentalist with a cute assistant (before   
   long his harried wife), then he graduates to full-blown   
   spiritualist, catering to the needs of the rich and gullible in   
   their well-upholstered homes. It looks like the world is Stan's   
   for the taking. At least for now.
