- Caption: Freaked (1993)
- Description: Freaked casts Alex Winter (who also co-wrote and co-directed the film) as Ricky Coogan, a failed actor who agrees to become the spokesman for a toxic fertilizer. But when he's captured by mad scientist Elijah C. Skuggs (Randy Quaid), Ricky soon finds himself transformed into a hideous sideshow freak (a plight shared by two friends, played by Michael Stoyanov and Megan Ward). Though it's wildly creative and occasionally quite funny, Freaked nevertheless wears out its welcome somewhere around the halfway mark (and even at 80 minutes, the film feels overlong). This is despite the presence of an eclectic, memorable cast, which includes Mr. T as the Bearded Lady, Bobcat Goldthwait as the appropriately named Sockhead, and an unbilled Keanu Reeves as Ortiz the Dog Boy. But in the end, Freaked is just too weird for its own good - though it's obvious that there's something here that appeals to a certain audience, judging by the film's cult following.
