The three films included on the Criterion Collection’s Tod Browning’s Sideshow Shockers collectively suggest a miniature narrative of Browning’s evolution as a filmmaker. Though this two-disc set offers but a dip of the toe into Browning’s work, it’s governed by a persuasive through line. Here we get a film, 1925’s The Mystic, that’s rich in promise and less personal than the other two, one a perverse masterwork, 1927’s The Unknown, that’s criminally underseen by contemporary audiences, and the other a cult classic, 1932’s Freaks, that’s too often discussed in terms of its notoriety. Watching these films together offers a sketch of an artist’s sensibility reaching fruition, as a fine-grained empathy rises to the fore.
Browning’s affinity for outcasts has been well-documented and is discussed at length in the supplements included with this set, particularly in a new interview with author...

"I don't know what the theme yet is for next season. Last year I knew that it was going to be the year of the originals, but... if I had to guesstimate, and I'm totally blowing smoke here, but what's going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back?"
The Mystic Falls gang has handled themselves miraculously well in the face of torture, death, and heartbreak -- and this season, Candice thinks we'll finally see some of them lose their cool. We're particularly looking forward to...
