Continuing our series of White Hot ‘N’ Warped cinema, Dead Channels brings us the mind-bogglingly awful B-grade (D-grade?) sexploitation shocker She Freak. This 1967 “update” of Tod Browning’s 1932 classic Freaks was directed by Byron Mabe and written by David F. Friedman (best known as the producer Herschell Gordon Lewis’ seminal gore films 2000 Maniacs and Blood Feast).

Claire Brennen stars as Jade Cochran, a waitress who leaves the greasy-spoon diner business for the glamour and excitement of the carnival (?!), but soon discovers that she despises the freaks and human oddities of the sideshow. As the poster screams, “Behind the tents and tinsel of the monster midway, something barbaric occurs on the Alley of Nightmares” and Jade learns a lesson we know all too well… never cross a circus freak.

The screening starts at 7:30pm on Wednesday, July 9th at the Hypnodrome, 575 10th Street, San Francisco – Map. Tickets are only $5 and can be purchased online at Brown Paper Tickets or at the door on the night of the show.
