BGH Classic Pack - It Might Get Weird

Submitted by Jon on Monday, May 6th 2013

Horror films are about pushing boundaries. And when you're all alone, watching along in the dark, you only have to tolerate what you're comfortable with.

10 Carnival Themed Horror Movies.

Submitted by Casey on Friday, Jun 17th 2011

The carnival is the perfect breeding ground for fear. Strangers on the fringe of society, brought together to drift about the country bringing their acts and oddities to the 'normies' of the world.

Submitted by Carly on Wednesday, Sep 22nd 2010

Tod Browning's "Freaks" is a film centered around the beautiful trapeze artist Cleopatra (Olga Baclanova), who schemes with her lover, Hercules (Henry Victor), to seduce and marry a circus sideshow midget, Hans (Harry Earles), in order to obtain his large inheritance. The film depicts the so-called "freaks" in a sympathetic and human manner, while showing the most cruel and monstrous sides of the "normal" characters.
