Tod Browning’s Sideshow Shockers (Freaks, The Unknown, The Mystic)

“Tod Browning’s Sideshow Shockers: Freaks, The Unknown, and The Mystic. I haven’t seen The Unknown or The Mystic, but Freaks is a movie I try to watch maybe once a year. You hear about coming in the Closet and what do you do? You pick all the movies you’ve already seen before, but this is so exciting because I have two movies I haven’t seen here.”

“So this Tod Browning box set... This is just a recommendation. I own it. It’s awesome. Freaks is obviously, like, a major classic that a lot of people know. But The Mystic and The Unknown are movies that people know a lot less. I actually saw The Unknown, like, on TV when I was a teenager. And it’s this, like, amazing, transformative performance by Lon Chaney. Of course, it’s transformative, it’s Lon Chaney. Anyway, this is... And it’s, like, the special features are also, like, insane, so... Definitely, definitely check this out if you’re a Tod Browning fan, if you’re a Universal horror fan, if you’re a silent movie horror fan. It’s fucking cool.”
