What happened to the brother?
Was that little kid raped by the carnie? Wtf happened there?
shareThe dude that took him in definitely has a weird vibe.
From an interview with Tobe Hooper, the director;
Every time I have a chance to take a look at the darker side of things, there's the carnival manager who's the quite obvious pedophile. I mean, that scene is all implied with the exception of a couple of lines he says to the parents like, "You should have seen what I had to do to him to get your phone number" or "I washed him up real good." [laughs]

So from the directors own mouth the 'carnival manager' is a pedophile. So yeah, that seems to be the implication. share
Thanks for the info!
