In 1932 there was a horror movie called Freaks and it was originally based on a short story from 1923 called Spurs which was written by a writer called Tod Robbins and the movie itself was about sideshow performers A.K.A Circus freaks and because of that matter and some other reasons the movie was considered controversial and a number of scenes in the movie that was considered disturbing was cut and now are believed to me lost and the particular movie was a commercial failure and was banned in the United Kingdom for 30 years.
The particular movie was directed by the horror director Tod Browning who wanted to begin filming in 1927 but filming for the movie did not begin until October 1931 and was completed in December 1931 but it was followed by a disastrous test screening in January 1932 to do with the matter that a woman threatened to sue MGM claiming the movie had caused her to suffer a miscarriage and because of that the 90 minute movie was cut down to just under an hour and the movie later premiere at the Fox Criterion in Los Angeles in February 1932.
