FREAKS - PARTY ON !

"The Infamous Wedding Scene - Banned in 50 States"

"Gooba Gabba" became the outcry for THE RAMONES. This movie inspired all of our modern day freaks like Rob Zombie etc. Although Generation Y is most likely to not give a shit about this or literally anything else. This movie inspired all of our great modern day thinkers even though it was banned in 50 states.

This film comes from America and was created sometime around the Wizard of Oz. The thought at MGM was that if Americans loved the munchkins then they would do backflips for deformed and crippled freaks. The end result was that the industry laid a giant goose egg. This became the ugly secret of Hollywood and was shelved out of pure embarrasment.

When it was released it scared the SHIT out of people and sent women screaming out of the theater. You will have to watch the entire film to see what I am talking about. This is one disturbing piece of cinema. I mean they FREAKS retaliate and transform the evil bride into a chicken for crying out loud.

I still never got a good definition for GOOBA GABBA or where it came from. I never got an explanation for the origin of this phrase or what inspired it. All I know is that director Todd Browning was basically kicked out of motion pictures for creating this psychotic work. Browning was the director on the Dracula films.

There is a scene supposedly that had the cast of the freakshow walking into a courtroom after they cut up the woman into a chicken and turn her into a sideshow act. I read this in a film book and the author claimed that the ending was lost. They showed the freaks walking into a NYC courtroom. I am serious. This is what I read. I think this is total bullshit.

You should rent this.

Its worth it.

You may not find it disturbing. We have become pretty hard in this country. This type of film will never be shot again. We can detect hideous deformities before they are born now with modern day technology. Still its amazing that anyone would want to pay and see this back in the day. Americans were pretty morbid for demanding this type of entertainment. Freakshows were a big thing in carnivals for many years. Now with humanistic lobbyist groups these types of things are becoming a big thing of the past.
