Description: Tod Browning's Sideshow Shockers: Freaks / The Unknown / The Mystic (Criterion C Title: Tod Browning's Sideshow Shockers: Freaks / The Unknown / The Mystic (Criterion Collection) Format: DVD Label: Criterion Collection Genre: Horror UPC: 715515287913 Release Date: 2023 The world is a carnival of criminality, corruption, and psychosexual strangeness in the twisted pre-Code shockers of Tod Browning. Early Hollywood’s edgiest auteur, Browning drew on his experiences as a circus performer to create subversive pulp entertainments set amid the world of traveling sideshows, which, with their air of the exotic and the disreputable, provided a pungent backdrop for his sordid tales of outcasts, cons, villains, and vagabonds. Bringing together two of his defining works (The Unknown and Freaks) and a long-unavailable rarity (The Mystic), this cabinet of pre-Code curiosities reveals a master of the morbid whose ability to unsettle is matched only by his daring compassion for society’s most downtrodden.
