CIRCUS OF HORRORS- 1960
"CIRCUS OF HORRORS" - 1960
Freaky British film about a psychotic killer on the lose in the circus ring. Circus and carnivals are a perfect setting for horror movies, will freakish acts, tortured animals and scary looking clowns, bloody murder and violent deaths are just part of the act.
There are some disturbing images of slain women and deformity in the movie but what is most disturbing about this film was the charming little love song "Reach for a star" by Garry Mills. When I was a kid my sister would taunt me by playing the 45 of this song, so I am scarred for life by it, just like the women in this film!
Along with the other movies on this site, there are some pretty bad acting supported by really ugly colors and costumes in "Circus of horrors" . It's fun to watch and upi can match it with a disturbing sing-a-long to "Reach for a star".
