Rating:  - "Circus of Horrors" Is a Shocker
Fete of Death
"Circus of Horrors" has always been one of my favorite horror films. From its very beginning when the disfigured woman confronts her face in the mirror and belts out a deranged scream of "Rossiter! Rossiter!" it grabs you by the throat in an outrageous meolodramatic way. The entire movie has an off-kilter nightmare quality to it, reaching its zenith at the eponymous circus of horrors that Rossiter, Anton Diffring, creates in France. Tame by today's standards compared to horror ... Read More
Rating: - Classic shocker still holds up quite well
I'm too young to have experienced it firsthand, but the late 50's and early 60's must have seemed like a Golden Age to horror movie fans. And I can't think of many films of the era that deliver the goods more effectively than Circus of Horrors. While cinematic horror was still mainly suggestive by today's standards, Circus throws in a few graphic shocks that compare with the best of Hammer Films' output of the period.

Rating:  - Really good story for a Drive-In movie 2nd movie
Back in the day when it was a big treat to go to the Drive in on Sat. nite with your parents and in your pj's. Such fun, today's kids don't know what they have missed.

Rating: - A Sentimental Favorite
I finally purchased this movie. I remember when I saw it on t.v. in the 1960s. The music was haunting and I couldn't get it out of my mind. This movie is typical of the horror flix of the time. You'll enjoy it.
