    In my view, the discussion of Freaks is incomplete without a discussion of the intended audience. Doing so presents Freaks in a significantly less positive light. Tod Browning had immense success off of his previous film, Dracula. As horror films soared in popularity, Browning wanted to outdo his Dracula in his next film. Thus Freaks was born.
