Underrated gem -- and the film Joan Crawford's BERSERK should have been

CIRCUS OF HORRORS is a great, trashy, quite lurid (for its time) B-movie horror fest, and a notch above the similar BERSERK from a few years later.

All BERSERK had was Joan Crawford (which is a lot) but was otherwise a watered-down version of CIRCUS OF HORRORS.

In my fantasies, the two movies are mashed together: Diffring, Crawford, grisly murders, plastic surgery gone wrong, Halloween color schemes --- what's not to love??

I have a recording from a few years ago when this was shown on TCM and the next movie they ran was Berserk. Circus was the much better film of the two.
