Central Library - Farish Theater

Come to Central Library for a monthly Sunday movie matinee.

Tod Browning's 1932 film Freaks is a pre-Code horror movie, based on the short story Spurs by Tod Robbins.

When trapeze artist Cleopatra learns that circus performer and little person Hans has an inheritance, she marries the lovesick performer, all the while planning to steal his fortune and run off with her lover, strong man Hercules. When Hans' friends and fellow performers discover what is going on, they band together and carry out a brutal revenge that leaves Hercules and Cleopatra knowing what it truly means to be a freak.
