Help with creative murder mystery deaths?

Question:I am writing a murder mystery party.

It is set in 1899 in a traveling circus in either the Carpathian Mountains or Transylvania, it is in the late spring and will be held outside.

We have alot of property so it will be very interesting and some of it will be in the woods, there will be a gypsy caravan and it will be at night with lots of paper lanterns.

Some characters are-
the bearded lady
joker/clown
vampire
vampire hunter
cyclops...okay he has three eyes
snake charmer
gypsy

there are more people but those are just a few of the ideas.

Now- could you all help me come up with really weird deaths. LIke ways to be killed using these settings. I think it will be very cool and am just looking for some fresh ideas.

I want to come! Have always wanted to go to one of these!

Are the characters you mention above the ones getting killed? If so you could have something like the beared lady's beard strangling her somehow. Or no wait that wouldn't be murder that would just be mysterious. Well could you work that in somehow? There is a really famous poem ("Porphyria's Lover") where she is strangled to death by her hair. I love that idea.

Hmm sorry that wasn't much use!

Maybe you can have the vampire (if there is only one) be murdered and make it look like a vampire did it! no that's very good....

or maybe the joker/clown can have cards and cards and cards coming out of his mouth, like he was stuffed with cards but there can be a ridiculous amount of cards!

or maybe the gypsy could have died from her own poison because the Snake charmer had his Snake stock up on her Poisson and had it bite the gypsy!

i don't think i helped too much but i hope it was at least inspiring!
good luck!

poisons check out different poisons. some affect people different than other poisons and axes are always fun
