Freakshows - human anomalies presented for spectacle - have flourished throughout recorded history. The birth of the movies provided a further outlet for these displays, which in turn led to a peculiar strain of bizarre cinema: Freak Film. Inside Terradome is a comprehensive, fully illustrated guide to the roots and development of this fascinating, often disturbing cinematic genre.
With over 350 photographs, Inside Terradome reveals a twisted thread of voyeuristic sickness running both through cinema and the society it mirrors.
