As it turns out, Twisty isn't such a bad guy; he's just incredibly sad and not mentally sound. Years ago, he was a happy clown in the circus, but his costars were jealous of how much people loved him. They told the police that he was a child molester, even though he actually had nothing but pure intentions. He was run out of the circus, returned to his home of Jupiter, and tried to make a living turning junk into toys. When no one would buy his goods, he became so depressed that he tried to kill himself. He failed, only blowing away his jaw. (Now his horrific face makes sense!) Something snapped for Twisty, and he just wanted to make kids happy again. This brings us up to present day, when he kidnaps a kid and a "babysitter" for him, kills the kid's parents because "parents are mean," and tries to make his prisoners happy by putting on shows for them. See? There is a method to his madness.
