Illustrate the entrance of a vintage carnival with a large, ominous devil face as its gateway, inspired by Edward Gorey’s style. Use meticulous cross-hatching to add texture and depth to the face, emphasizing its glowing, fiery eyes, exaggerated horns, and wide, toothy mouth that forms the entrance. Design the face with a grotesque yet stylized appearance, giving it a surreal and eerie quality. Keep the background minimalistic, with faint carnival flags and string lights, creating an atmosphere of tension and mystery. Add a symbolic motif, such as a small black cat or a clock subtly hidden in the details, to enhance the unsettling, gothic ambiance.
