Sideshow Cinema is a historic look at films that include human oddities such as little people, giants, human torsos, pinheads, Siamese twins and all types of deformities imaginable. Covering from the 1800's to the present, this is the most complete film history of sideshow performers ever written. This also covers the strangest movies ever made like weird westerns, scary circus films, giants apes, blaxploitation, gimmick films and salutes TV horror hosts.
I won this through GoodReads. While this isn't a book to sit and read cover to cover, it's a nifty one to have in your collection to flip through and learn something new.
It's jam packed full of information about sideshow faces and where you've seen them on the big screen ( and little one )
The best book of it kind, it grabs you and takes you back to a bygone era when movies were fun and unique. Packed with endless and great facts about off Hollywood movies and sideshow freaks, this is must have for both film and circus fans.
