Film: Johnny's House of Horror: Freaks (1932)

Dir: Tod Browning Running time: 120 mins Cert: 12A

Freaks ruined the career of its director, Tod Browning, known today for the infamous Dracula (1931), starring Bela Lugosi. Banned in the UK for 30 years, audiences were unable to cope with its frank portrayal of disability. Freaks is one of the most human films you will ever watch.

Johnny Mains, author of Freaks (Midnight Movie Monographs 2017) will give a talk after the film screening.
