94. It had to be released after 1945...

Thu Sep 26, 2013, 10:28 AM

Sep 2013

because I wasn't born till '38. I saw the movie with friends with no adults with us so I had to be at least 7.

It was good, funny and sad, and was haunting. These pathetic creatures loved each other, and I felt "safe" with them, I remember that, but felt so sorry for them. The regular people were creepy. It might be the reason I learned to hate the word "freaks," and forgot why. I know now why, it was unkind. Doncha wonder how they got away with that title then? They couldn't do it now, thank goodness.

I sort of remember that even the paying customers made fun of them. Oooh.

I just played the You Tube bit, and it took me back. That lady did not enjoy the aspect that she was one of them.

Thanks for the memory, like BH always said....
