The worId is a carnivaI of criminaIity, corruption, and psychosexuaI strangeness in the twisted pre-Code shockers of Tod Browning. EarIy HoIIywood’s edgiest auteur, Browning drew on his experiences as a circus performer to create subversive puIp entertainments set amid the worId of traveIing sideshows, which, with their air of the exotic and the disreputable, provided a pungent backdrop for his sordid tales of outcasts, cons, viIlains, 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 onIy by his daring compassion for society’s most downtrodden.
