Freaks (1932)

Freaks is a 1932 American Pre-Code horror film in which the eponymous characters were played by people who worked as carnival sideshow performers and had real deformities. The original version was considered too shocking to be released and no longer exists.

Plot
The plot centers about events that happen in a circus full of so called "freaks", people with deformities. Cleopatra, a trapeze artist seduces a sideshow midget named Hans, after learning of his large inheritance. She also conspires to kill him with the help of circus strongman Hercules in order to have his wealth.

However, her plot proves later to have dangerous consequences.
