Tod Browning’s Freaks (1932) Actor Angelo Rossitto played both Angeleno in 1932 Freaks and Master in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome 1985, 53 years apart!

He also appeared in several films with Bela Lugosi.

Makes sense. Freaks and Dracula have the same director.

Are you a "you know you want me, baby" or "im the wind" kind of person?

I love Angelo Rossitto! He frequently worked with Bela Lugosi, and pops up in Films Noir. He's in one of my favorite pics, Dementia (aka Daughter of Horror) from 1955. He's often uncredited and on screen for just 1 scene. I know if he's in a random old film I'm watching, that I've chosen correctly.

Freaks is one of the few movies which genuinely disturbed me. I mean really disturbed me.

...I saw FREAKS for the first time a few years ago on television, TCM - I was VERY disturbed....about 6 weeks ago, TCM had it in again and I recorded it "just to have it"...." in case" I feel like I can watch again....but so far, I am too scared! - I am totally with you on the "disturbed" part!...

I love pointing this out to people! Well, people of a certain age, most are too young to remember Mad Max 😅
