FREAKED is Tom and Alex's tour-de-force look at the sideshow freak tradition. It is a comedy first and foremost with many other elements mixed in such as sci-fi, horror, action, and even wrestling!

FREAKED is the story of a struggling former child actor named Ricky Coogin (played by Alex Winter) who, to the tune of $5 million, endorses a toxic brand of fertilizer called Zygrot 24. EES (Everything Except Shoes) has him and his pal, Ernie (Michael Stoyanov-Joey's friend on "Blossom") fly to Santa Spam, I mean Santa FLAN where Rick will be their South-American spokesperson. They are followed by an annoying little Troll (Alex Zuckerman) and have Morgan Fairchild as a flight attendant.

The boys land only to be greeted by a herd of protesters, but Rick takes a liking to one of them (Megan Ward) and decides to impersonate a cripple to gain her affection. They all end up at FREEKLAND, an out of the way, bottom of the barrel freak exhibit run by the hilariously demented redneck, Elijah C. Skuggs (played by Randy Quaid in his best role ever!). Little do they know Skuggs is intending to make them his next star attractions...

20th. Century Fox originally had such high expectations for the movie known as Freaked that they devised a line of toys , a comic book , and a novel adaptation of the film to correspond with its release.  Unfortunately, with the departure of Fox president Joe Roth, FREAKED got put on the back burner, and didn't receive the wide release and studio backing originally envisioned.  FREAKED was eventually released on video and there it sat, garnering handfuls of positive reviews and converting new fans through word of mouth alone.  Now, it has been digitally re-mastered (no, not by Jimmy Page) and given the deluxe treatment by Anchor Bay in a deluxe 2-DVD set, 12 years after its initial release for the world to finally enjoy. Also, check out our exclusive outtakes collection.

Freaked featured an amazing all-star soundtrack including the works of the Butthole Surfers, Henry Rollins, Paul Leary, Blind Idiot God, and even a full-fledged Parliament Funkadelic reunion on the title track.  Plans for the soundtrack never took shape either so now, all we have is the film.   If one lessen can be taken from the troubled history of this lost gem, it's that 12 milkmen IS theoretically possible... 13 is just silly!
