FREAKED (1993)
WORLDWIDE FIRST - RESTORED IN 4K DOLBY VISION
Enter the sideshow and rediscover FREAKED in 4K Dolby Vision from a brand NEW restoration including hours of NEW extras. This is a landmark release for Drafthouse Films, Umbrella, and Alex Winter that we know will blow your head and socks clean off
WELCOME TO FREEK LAND. Roll up, roll up, sad normies! Feast your trembling eyes on the bonkers spectacle that is FREAKED! The gloriously absurd 1993 cult comedy from the mischievous minds of Alex Winter (Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure), Tom Stern (Idiot Box) and Tim Burns (An American Werewolf in Paris).
With eye-popping practical effects, surreal humor, and a punk-rock spirit, FREAKED! is a whirlwind of mutated madness and offbeat satire - a celebration of the strange, the silly, and the spectacularly unconventional.
DESCRIPTION
Once a smug former child star, Ricky Coogin (Winter) is now the unfortunate face of a shady megacorporation pushing questionable products in South America. But when Ricky and his misfit companions — the endlessly weird Ernie and idealistic Julie — take a wrong turn, they find themselves at a derelict roadside freak show run by the mad scientist/showman Elijah C. Skuggs (Randy Quaid). Skuggs doesn’t just run the show — he makes it. Using a volatile chemical blend and a flair for the grotesque, he transforms poor Ricky and friends into full-blown human oddities, adding them to his gallery of bizarre attractions.
Enter the sideshow crew: a sock-faced philosopher, a walking cow-man hybrid, a talking eyeball, and a mustachioed bearded lady (an incredible supporting cast including John Hawkes, William Sadler, Mr. T, Brooke Shields, Bobcat Goldthwait, Megan Ward, Morgan Fairchild, Michael Stoyanov, and Winter's old pal Reeves in an uncredited and unrecognizable turn as Ortiz the dog boy. Woof!). Together, they plot to overthrow Skuggs before they’re trapped in the tent forever!
