"Freaks" Video
"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.

Truly beautiful and dually horrific. The surprise is the source of the horror, which comes from two characters free from deformities and deemed as “normal” while the honest look into the core of human emotion comes from the so called “freaks” (who by the collectively way deliver a damn fine performance). As outrageous as a freak show may seem to us now, it is important to acknowledge and understand that they did indeed exist. While the exploitation of these people may now seem offensive, it also gave the performers success and a sense of belonging. I am glad this movie was made, it is truly a timeless story of the marginalized rising to victory.
