Summary:

Tod Browning created a cinema of perverse fascination and what fascinated him the most was the seemingly seedly life of the denizens of the carnival midway or sideshow. Browning repeatedly peered into the lives of desperate and deformed characters who live in total remove from society as we might know it. Is it any wonder that his masterpiece should be graced by the appropriately inglorious approbation of “Freaks”?
