The article details an author’s reading of the poorly received and widely rejected horror film, Freaks. Also, the article reveals that Freaks was shown in a North Broad St. theater, which did not advertise in the Inquirer. This seems to suggest that Freaks was not exhibited at any mainstream theaters in Philadelphia (It was shown in New York, San Diego, and other major cities where it was severely rejected). It also describes several other horror films such as Island of Lost Souls.  By Conor Fitzpatrick
