Many appreciations for that cinema. I will be one of the few that will own this.

"Freaked" is probably the most ****ed up, nonsensical movie you'll ever see. Basically, it's about this washed up teen idol played by Alex Winter, who is approached to represent an evil pesticide/toxic waste company called EES(Everything Except Shoes). He and that paramedic brother from "Blossom" end up taking aroad trip with an Anti-EES activist, and they come across "Freek Land", where they become hideously mutated freaks for Randy Quaid's freakshow. Of course, then Winter's character and everyone else band together to try and find an antidote to become normal again.
It's got Mr. T in drag, uhhh..Bill as 1/2 boy, 1/2 monster, Randy Quaid as some backwards hillbilly promoter...and just a bunch of odd, odd characters, including Keanu Reeves as a Latino Dog-boy, who is oddly uncredited in the film.
The VHS would be hard to find to rent, I only saw it once, and that was back in 1998. But, to me, it was worth the $14. Special effects alone were aweeeeeeesome...and it's funny as hell to boot.
Craziness.
