I've been thinking of a circus story with a masquerade theme, but I'm debating between two plot ideas. I need to know which sounds better as a plot that fits a mask theme.

1.) Traveling ghost circus decides to set up near a city, lures in an audience and recruits certain audience members into their ranks (forever), after the shows. In order to build on their circus family.

2.) Traveling circus sets up near a town, after shows they kidnap unsuspecting people with the lure of their gifts and cut the victims limbs off and turn them into prosthetic limbs to remedy the performers handicaps.
