But like many true crime enthusiasts, Mia reveals that she has an abject fascination with Art the Clown as a serial killer and such an evil figure.
When Art overhears Cole and Mia in their dorm, he hears the latter expressing her desire to know and understand Art to Cole, saying: “I want to know what it’s like to be in the presence of this kind of evil.
