The following day, Armand Krol holds a press conference to talk about his re-election campaign. After the conference, he speaks with his press agent and instructs him to dig up some dirt on his rival Marion Grange. That evening, the Scarecrow selects his next victim, Jackson Grey - another man who once tormented Jonathan Crane in high school. He abducts Grey and brings him to a horror-themed fun house. He ties him to a guillotine, which can be activated by a special trigger elsewhere in the building. Batman learns about the Grey abduction and traces him back to the fun house. He carefully negotiates a trail past the fun houses various pitfalls. He accidentally sets off a trap, which releases the guillotine blade above Grey's head.
