MOVIES:

FREAKED - TRAILER, COMIC & RARE OUTTAKES

Photobucket Alex Winter & Tom Stern - 90s style

The trailer is over here!

A thinking man's stupid comedy. A vain actor, his best friend, and an activist end up at a mutant freak farm run by a weirdo scientist.

This was supposed to be a Butthole Surfers film and the first cut still had that mutant who could ejaculate the word Satan in the snow. It's also got Keanu Reeves wearing a dog costume and Mr. T as the bearded lady. Great movie!

Old fans should have a look at the outtakes and other stuff over at Freekland, the website that Alex Winter, Tom Stern and Tim Burns built. You can also find scans of the comic book version , that great old article from "Film Threat" and other goodies over there.

Here's what the boys have to say: "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! "
