陶德．布朗寧執導的Cult Film經典，由侏儒、連體雙胞胎等擁有真實怪異身體的人扮演，講述馬戲團侏儒愛上美麗的「空中孔雀」的故事。 馬戲團侏儒漢斯愛上美麗且有「空中孔雀」之稱的克莉歐佩崔，她玩弄漢斯的感情還與海克特聯手，打算在結婚後毒死漢斯，以謀取巨額遺產。其他馬戲團成員知道計劃後，聯手將海克特殺死，而美麗的克莉歐佩崔則變成一個失去雙腿的怪胎，成為展示秀的一部份。 本片由曾為米高梅引荐葛里菲斯等導演的陶德．布朗寧（Tod Browning）執導，請來編劇Willis Goldbeck根據他早年與馬戲團演出的經驗，加上Tod Robbins的短篇故事改編，影片捨棄了化妝與特殊效果，由侏儒、連體雙胞胎等擁有真實怪異身體的人扮演，在當時嚇壞不少觀眾，也引來媒體撻伐，片長更被迫從九十分鐘精簡為六十分鐘，並在英國禁演達三十年之久。 1994年，美國國家電影保護局將本片入國家電影名冊，讓這部備受爭議的優秀影片重出天日，也成為Cult Film影迷的經典之作。
