Background

Kathy is the sibling of Weegee.

During the events of Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Season 1 Episode 2 The Tale of Laughing in the Dark played by Tamar Kozlov

During a Friday night, Josh, Weegee and Kathy are walking through Playland. They come to Laughing in the Dark and Josh wants to go inside, but Weegee and Kathy are too afraid as they heard it was haunted. Josh makes fun of them and stumbles into a Carney who introduces himself. He tells them that if they pick the right door, they will go free, but if they pick the wrong door, Zeebo will be waiting for them. While he is talking, Weegee and Kathy sneak away, leaving Josh, who is invited to enter Laughing in the Dark by the Carney, but he declines the offer.

Later, Weegee shows Kathy and Josh a news article he found about a spook house also called Laughing in the Dark that was located in the same location as the current one, but during the 1920's. At one point the circus came to town and a clown named Zeebo stole the entirety of the circus' payroll. He escaped into the spook house, but the cigar he was smoking started a fire in the spook house and it burned to the ground. Shortly after they built a new Laughing in the Dark and added a statue of Zeebo at the end of it. The legend is that Zeebo is still trapped inside Laughing in the Dark. Josh makes fun of Weegee and Kathy for believing in the legend and Weegee dares Josh to go inside Laughing in the Dark. They go back to Playland that night and to prove that he makes it all the way through, Josh says that he will steal Zeebo's nose, but Weegee will have to wear it for a week at school.

The next day, Josh gives Weegee Zeebo's nose to wear and says he is going to mount it with an engraving which has the kid who beat Zeebo written on it. Josh taunts Weegee who angrily throws the nose away.
