Storyline

The saga of Times Square Freak Twins Duane and Belail Bradley takes its most bizarre twist yet. It all starts innocently enough when the Bradley boys join kindly doctor Granny Ruth and her family of unique individuals for a road trip through the deep South.. The occasion - Belail's about to become a proud monster father - and no basket is big enough to hold this ungodly brood! But when a pair of warped sheriffs deputies kidnap Belai's babies Granny Ruth and the family strike back. Belial single handedly decimates the local police station with crazed, Terminator like fury - and that's just the beginning. Threatened with the loss of the newest additions to their family, Granny Ruth and the others concoct a delicious revenge against their enemies, climaxing in Belial's futuristic one-on-one with the town Sheriff.

Personality Song?

I'm desperately looking for the song ,,personality'' from the movie which is sung by Annie Ross (Granny Ruth) and the freaks. But I can't find it anywhere :( Does anybody know where get it? Because there doesn't appear to be a soundtrack available.

Concerning the movie, I think that this is one of the most hilarious movies ever made. Especially the freaks are just great and fun to look at. There are some great jokes and the actors do a good job, not taking themselves too seriously. I can recommend this great movie to anyone to wants some funny gore flick because this is what the movie is about. My favorite scene is when they all start singing on the bus, it's so much fun and the song is really not that bad (that's why I'm trying to get it somewhere). This is not supposed to be a real horror movie (or at least I don't think so), it's absolutely not scary, it's more like really great comedy with some gory effects. So just watch and enjoy :)
