"But for an accident of birth, you might be as they are." Director Tod Browning delves into the depraved world of sideshow circus freaks to reveal that they have more humanity than the average asshole walking the streets.

Favorite freak: Prince Randian, "the living torso." Runner-up: Johnny Eck, "the half-boy." Freaks was based on the short story "Spurs" by Tod Robbins. Believe it or not, this masterpiece only runs for a total of 64 minutes! Also released as Forbidden Love, The Monster Show and Nature's Mistakes.

Does anyone know who performed this version of "creep"? It doesn't sound like radiohead. I love it but can't go about looking for it unless I at least know the artist.

To Me: The version of Creep is one done by Tears For Fears, I'm not sure what CD it's from.
