This one is a little hard to talk about is about real sideshow performers literally real sideshow performers
. The plot tells the story of a little person named Han (played by sideshow performer Harry Earles who played a lollipop guild in The Wizard of Oz) who's marry to a big person named Cleopatra
but she just a big b***h! all she want is his money. The thing about this horror movie is not really all that a horror movie until the freaks band together to punish Cleopatra
the movie was directed by Tod Browning the same guy that directed Dracula he specially cast his actors (hence that these were real sideshow performer) where else do you see a guy that can walk with no legs?
or a guy with no limbs that lit a cigarette
for 1932 it was controversial at the time many it was banned for more than 40 years after Tod Browning's death many people thought it was an insult to people with physical deformities. And with a title called "Freaks"
how could you not go wrong it wasn't until many years later that people saw what it's really about the normal people are the monsters
Freaks is a great film the only problem was it just ahead of it times.
