FREAKSHOW

AUDREY LANDERS - "SHAN"



"Freakshow" is a 1989 Canadian horror anthology movie.

After being ditched by her cameraman due to her manipulative behavior at a murder scene, a reporter - Shan (played by Audrey Landers) wanders through town looking for a telephone she may use. Shan finds a small museum, where its proprietor invites Shan in to have a look around before leaving. In one room, Shan encounters a strange jar which causes her to have strange visions; visions that draw from her own mind. These visions make up the rest of this four part horror anthology, which includes horror and suspense stories:
1) A junkie chasing a dog for his runaway fix.
2) A pizza delivery boy who gets a Halloween surprise.
3) A living but paralyzed drug overdose victim forced to undergo her own autopsy as everyone thinks she is dead.
4) A deal between a golf course owner and a gravedigger that has some unexpected consequences.
