I actually had a creepy carnival in my last fantasy campaign. While it was strictly speaking an elaborate outdoor encounter (it moved around, and the PCs never ran into it a second time) rather than an adventure, it had many of the hallmarks of a dungeon: "circus animals" that were in fact monsters, "games" that mostly involved fighting those monsters, and "prizes" that provided the treasure. The superficially human circus folk were of course unnerving and not what they appeared to be. And the PCs were offered a chance to run away and join the circus, but fortunately turned it down. Fun times!
