The third wave of content for Fantastic Fest was recently announced, and it totally rocks. That's especially true if you dig vampires, ninjas and super scary stories about spooky things. We couldn’t be more enthused about the programming if we’d been abducted by an alien ship and had the special "Fantastic Fest souvenir mind control device" implanted in our brains.

Freakshow-A-Go-Go began in Portland last May and is intended to reclaim freakshows as an empowering art form where performers can express their freakiness without being objectified ... freakily. The show will feature an extensive list of gender-bending talent from around the country performing live music, puppetry, burlesque, acrobatics, dance, and comedy. Fourteen performers have been confirmed, including a pre-show featuring the 1920s musical stylings of WinoVino and the professional clowning of Schave & Reilly. PJ Chavez of “Live! From PantsuitLand” fame will take on hosting duties in her usual retro pantsuit and visor.
