Tod Browning retrospective

Tod Browning directed many fine films starting in the silent era. He is best known for horror films such as Dracula (1931) and Freaks (1932), featuring a large cast of carnival performers. Dracula is widely available on DVD and Blu-ray. Freaks was on DVD but I think it’s out of print now. TCM shows it sometimes and I highly recommend it. It must have been shocking when it was new. It was popular during the late 1960s and early 1970s as I recall.

I wrote about Tod Browning, the boy who actually ran away to join the circus, and about the superlative retrospective of his films at @FilmLinc starting today. One of cinema’s earliest masters, he narrowly missed seeing his genius recognized: https://t.co/LxxpdJEmsS
