520			_aGooble-gobble...we accept her...one of us", goes the haunting chant of Freaks. Yet it would be decades before this widely banned morality play gained acceptance as a cult masterpiece. Tod Browning (1931´s Dracula) directs this landmark movie in which the true freaks are not the story´s sideshow performers but "normals" who mock and abuse them. Browning, a former circus contortionist, cast real -life sideshow professionals. A living torso who nimbly lights his own cigarette despite having no arms or legs, microcephalics (who the film calls "pinheads")- they and others play the big-top troupers who inflict a terrible revenge on a trapeze artist who treats them as subhumans. In 1994, Freaks was selected for the National Film Registry´s archive of cinematic treasures.
