Editor's Note
A sleazy TV actor travels to Santa Flan, a South American country. There he visits a circus sideshow only to be transformed into a freak by the creepo in charge. Beware - this film grinds into the guardrails of comedy. Watch for Keanu Reeves' cameo.
Plot Summary
While on a promotional tour for a corrupt international conglomerate, mercenary actor Ricky Coogin, his best friend, and his would-be girlfriend are unwillingly transformed into circus freaks by sleazy road-show proprietor Elijah C. Skuggs. Ricky, now a beast-boy, and his cohorts soon join the ranks of Sockhead, Rosie the Pinhead, and the Hideous Frogman, to hatch a scheme to steal Skuggs' gene-altering formula, thereby returning everyone to their original states.

Jessi from Cleveland, Oh
Not only is this movie entertaining, but the make-up and costuming are very well done. I am rather choosey when it comes to my films, and I found this flick enjoyable visually as well as plot wise. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Guest Appearances! Tuesday, December 14, 1999
Mike Baker from Chattanooga TN
This is one sick, twisted, perverse thrill ride...look for the uncredited cameo by Keanu Reeves. (Hint.. he's one of the freaks).Also keep an eye out for musician Gibby Haynes. This is a true party film. A must have! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great Cult movie Thursday, August 05, 1999
Nike0070 from Mary Esther, Florida
By luck I had seen this great cult flick, while flipping through hbo. I had only seen 30 mins of the film when I had decided it was a deffinite buy. The movie is a cult flick crossed with some good ol hot shots humor. Even though this movie is hard to find, I encourage those of you who like cult flicks to buy this movie its a deffinite non-disappointment. Too funny to believe. Was this review helpful?
