Tod Browning's 1932 movie Freaks is a little known horror masterpiece.

Based on Tod Robbins' novella Spurs, it tells the story of rich sideshow midget Hans who is seduced into marriage by greedy trapeze artist Cleopatra. Besides this already unusual couple, the movie is inhabited by actual sideshow people who in those days were often malformed individuals.

Director Browning had himself been working in the carnival industry and was well aware of the general public's opinion about the "freaks". His play with the audience's prejudices caused a stir in 1932, as it does today.

This series of faux collectors cards is a tribute to the human marvels who were the stars of Freaks.

By popular request there will be a limited edition print of the collector's cards. Price and other details TBA.
