Freaks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Looks like I am going to be knackered at work tomorrow, as I have just stumbled across the legendary film Freaks on TCM. This 1932 horror movie was banned in the UK for over thirty years, as it featured real deformed sideshow freaks. It even boasted the tag line "Can a full grown women truly love a midget?" on its promotional posters. Not to give to much of the plot away, but it concerns a trapeze artist who pursues a midget who has landed a large inheritance, and her eventual comeuppance. The most bizarre character is the "Human Torso", who with no arms or legs, manages to light up and smoke a cigarette only using his tongue. It has to be seen to be believed..
