He actually did a couple of films involving the circus and the sideshow....
The Unknown was even earlier than Freaks, and starred Lon Chaney.....
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018528/ and is another must see.....:)
I think there was another as well, but I can't remember for sure, or who starred. Of course, the difference being the actors weren't truly sideshow performers.
Freaks is a favorite of mine. A truly disturbing film, and it was a very gutsy film to make at the time.
