Details
Find out who manufactured the Polly-Moo-Zuke, the Two-Headed Giant, and the Devil Fish. Hear showmen's stories of hoochie coochie dancing bears, monkeys racing miniature racecars, and the strange people who made a living eating snakes. See war criminals, wax outlaws, and papier mache torture victims. Learn about illusion on the midway and how 'free' Iron Lung and Wildlife shows were anything but; who suspected you had to pay to leave?
Take a twisted journey with the last of America's real showmen, from an age when performers earned every nickel of your 25 cents.
