Freaks
Freaks: the screenplay. One of us! One of us!
THERE NEVER WAS, before or since, a movie like FREAKS, a 1932 film by horror-master Tod Browning (director of Bela Lugosi's DRACULA), and, safe to say, there probably never will be again.
Today it is a cult classic, but in its day FREAKS was considered too horrifying, and public outrage forced it to be withdrawn from distribution.

I saw that movie in a College Movie theater at U of M. It holds up remarkably well. I loved it.
