This makes clear that even if he helped Gunther in getting away with the previous murders because he really has some love for his son, he felt anyway disgusted for what he had to do to help him and what he had to witness.

It greatly expands the roles of Amy's mother Ellen and Conrad Straker, as it reveals that they were married twenty years ago. Overtly Christian Ellen killed their firstborn son Victor (as she believed that he was evil) and ran away. Conrad vows that he will kill her children if she ever again has any. He then uses his carnival job to lure in kids that he suspect are Ellen's and lets Gunther to kill them. Joey also gets an expanded role: Ellen's issues have driven him to run away with the carnival, and he is also hunted through the funhouse.
