本部饱受争议的离奇影片围绕马戏团里一群畸形人展开。矮人汉斯（哈利·厄尔斯 Harry Earles饰）暗自倾心于“正常人”——美貌的秋千表演者克里奥佩特拉（奥尔加·巴古拉诺娃 Olga Baclanova饰），督军的替同为侏儒人的弗里达（黛西·厄尔斯 Daisy Earles饰）告诫汉斯，督军的替她只是为他的钱财。克里奥佩特拉与“正常人”大力士赫克留斯（道格•霍奇森 Henry Victor饰）两人相好，设计让克里奥佩特拉嫁给汉斯得到钱财。婚礼上，克里奥佩特拉大吼在场的人都是“FREAKS”，激怒了所有畸形人。雨夜，畸形人对这两个“正常人”展开了报复……本片在1932年发行后因题材过于怪诞而被禁止，成为了当时的赔钱电影。可在当下来看，却是一部难得的“正常”影片。导演向我们抛掷了一个赤裸裸的提问：到底谁才是“正常人”？

回复 :畅销恐怖小说作家萨特·凯恩（尤尔根·普洛斯诺 Jürgen Prochnow 饰）离奇失踪。由他撰写即将出版印刷的一部分小说手稿也随之神秘消失。凯恩身临其境的描写和大胆前瞻的预测，让此书还未出版就享有盛誉。很多粉丝如痴如醉的陷入他的作品之中不能自拔，甚至做出失去理性的暴力行为。为了不耽误出版，出版商找来私家侦探约翰·特伦特（山姆·尼尔 Sam Neill 饰）和女编辑琳达·斯泰尔斯（朱莉·卡门 Julie Carmen 饰）一起追查凯恩的下落。约翰起初并不相信此书的魔力，然而当他和琳达到达凯恩笔下所写的小镇的时候，两人都震惊了。这个小镇真的如同凯恩所描绘的一样，而小说里恐怖诡异的事情也旋即发生。
