Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Stan burns down his home and takes a job as a carny with a traveling carnival. Stan is disturbed at how any man could sink to the level of performing as a geek. Clem explains that he seeks out alcoholic or drug-addicted men with troubled pasts, and lures them in with promises of a "temporary" job and opium-laced alcohol. He then uses their dependence until they sink into madness and depravity, thus creating a new geek. Stan also works with clairvoyant act "Madame Zeena" and her alcoholic husband, Pete. He and Zeena warn Stan not to ever use these skills otherwise people get hurt. Meanwhile Stan becomes attracted to fellow performer Molly and approaches her with an idea for a two-person act away from the carnival. Written by Wiki |

| Trivia | Most of the early scenes were filmed after production suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bradley Cooper used the time to lose 15 pounds and appear younger for the beginning of the film. See more » |
| Goofs | After the carnival tear down, Clem invites Stanton to travel with them 20 miles as they join another carnival. Upon arriving at the new location their dinner is interrupted when the Geek escapes. Upon capturing the Geek they return him to his cage but this is the same location they left 20 miles back at the original camp. There is no way they had time to set up this building at the new location the same night they moved. Even the side room has all the formaldehyde jars set up all on shelves. See more » |
