Freaks, the classic 1932 Tod Browning circus romantic love triangle horror fantasy thriller ("Do Siamese Twins make love? What sex is the half-man, half-woman? Can the Pinheads think? Can a full-grown woman truly love a midget?"; "Freaks makes these strange creatures as human as you!"; "An unusual love drama"; with actual circus sideshow human oddities!) starring Wallace Ford, Leila Hyams, Olga Baclanova (as Cleopatra, who turns into the Chicken Woman at the end of the movie!), Roscoe Ates, Henry Victor (as Hercules), Harry Earles (as Hans), Daisy Earles (as Frieda), Rose Dione, Daisy Hilton & Violet Hilton (the Siamese Twins), Schlitze (as himself), Josephine Joseph (as the Half Woman/Half Man), Johnny Eck (as the Half Boy), Frances O'Connor (as an Armless Girl), Peter Robinson (as the Human Skeleton), Olga Roderick (as the Bearded Lady), Koo Koo (the "Bird Girl", as herself), Prince Randian (billed as "Rardion"; as The Living Torso), Martha Morris (as an Armless Girl), Elvira Snow (as a Pinhead), Jenny Lee Snow (as a Pinhead), Elizabeth Green (as a Bird Girl), Angelo Rossitto (one of the most successful "little people" actors from the 1920s on), Edward Brophy, Matt McHugh, and John Aasen (as the Giant).

Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card (and nine others we are offering this week) were literally found in a barn, where they had been for the past 78 years! Each of the ten cards have MAJOR condition defects, so we have provided scans of both the front of the card and the back of the card, which allow you to clearly see exactly what condition the cards are in. We are not going to describe them, because you can see what is wrong with them from our images. Note that all of the cards have darkened to different degrees, and all of them are extremely fragile. But certainly, a talented restorer can paperback the card, and after proper restoration, the card will look nice, but it will surely be expensive to restore, and will have somewhat of a "restored" look after restoration, so bear all of this in mind before you place a bid on any of these cards! Note that this is our second offering of these cards. There were ten other cards which we auctioned individually, and those closed on January 25. There were also 72 other cards in this amazing find which are from lesser titles than the 20 cards we sold individually, and we are selling those 72 cards in 12 group lots (they will start on February 3rd and close on February 10th). Sadly, there are no more of these cards after these cards are auctioned!

Condition: poor. The card has major condition issues . See our super-sized images of the front and back of the card to know exactly what is wrong with this card. Note that in the case of this card, there are stains on the man's face and in the face and body of the woman, and stains on the title.
