Poster for the HBO series Carnivàle. At the top, the show’s title “CARNIVÀLE” appears inside a rustic sign featuring a crescent moon and star. Below it reads, “Into each generation is born a creature of light and a creature of darkness.” The main cast poses in front of an old truck, with a broken Ferris wheel in the background, set against a dusty, ominous landscape. Characters are dressed in 1930s Dust Bowl-era clothing, some standing, sitting, or leaning on the vehicle. At the bottom, text announces the premiere date: “September 14, 9:30PM” and “New episodes Sundays at 9PM,” with the HBO logo.
