ABOUT
FREAKS
Don't miss the chance to see this classic & controversial 1932 movie in cinema from a well preserved 16mm film print!
Released 92 years ago(!), Freaks was originally intended as a vehicle for Lon Chaney, and is set amongst the backdrop of a traveling French circus and follows a conniving trapeze artist who joins a group of carnival sideshow performers with a plan to seduce and murder a dwarf in the troupe to gain his inheritance. However, her plot proves to have dangerous consequences.
The film is based on elements from the short story "Spurs" by Tod Robbins.
Directed by Tod Browning
Starring Wallace Ford, Leila Hyams, Olga Baclanova, Roscoe Ates and Harry Earles.
> One Show Only! <
Trailer added soon
At the 2024 Horrorfest you'll again get the rare chance to watch a classic movie in the old-school fashion, projected from 16mm film (courtesy of film collector Marco Pellis)
