Writer's Block: Killer tomatoes

[i_amthecosmos]

[Error: unknown template qotd]This is an impossible question. But I'm going to go with Freaks, just for the disturbance factor. This is Tod Browning (Dracula director) ruining his career! Nobody in 1932 wanted to see a horror movie starring circus prodigies. It was banned in England for decades, and for all I know might still be. But it's one of the most surreal, odd movies ever. Here, have a scene.

Watch on YouTube

So basically, a cult film needs pure fearlessness!

I am actually named after Jennie Snow. Elvira and Jennie are my Great-Grandmother's sisters. Their brother Cliff made money by putting them in sideshow acts with circuses. He was not a nice guy. I can remember my Granny Rowland telling me stories about my mom and Elvira playing in a playpen when my mom was a toddler and Elvira was in her late 20's.

You can still order the movie on Amazon or rent it from Netflix.

I love "Freaks". I wish more people knew about it.

I love Freaks. I have a crush on Johnny Eck. /TMI (But he was awesome!)
