In Penny Dreadful, Frankenstein's Monster gets a job in a waxworks run by the Putney family, who believe he's just a deformed man. They initially treat him well, but it's finally revealed that they intend to imprison him and use him as the nucleus of a freakshow, in which they'll make him keep other captive freaks in line. This is a very bad idea on their part. | |

X-Men: The Blob started out this way. His act consisted of a dozen men trying to budge him without success, and then a marksman using a rifle with live ammo on him. While he had never considered himself anything more than "an extra-strong freak", the revelation that he was a mutant made his ego get the best of him, turning him into the villain he is now. Nightcrawler started out as a circus acrobat but left when a new owner decided he'd be a better draw in the freakshow. |

The Old World of Darkness crossover game Midnight Circus has a freakshow of its very own in the form of a pressboard building known only as Freak City. The freaks on display are a rather varied bunch, including victims of birth defects, magical creatures, and full-blown fomori. Dog-faced detectives, hermaphrodites, midget families, animated scarecrows, and two-headed monsters are just some of the creatures that can be encountered here, the undisputed master of the place being a nine-foot-tall blob of foul-smelling blubber known only as the Cone of Flesh. Given the overall malevolence of the Midnight Circus, visitors to Freak City run the risk of suffering cumulative deformities for every minute they stay there; lingering long enough will result in your character being transformed into one of the freaks and joining the show. There's technically two of these in the Midnight Circus; the second of them is Dr Owl's Museum of Oddities, which is really just a glorified prison for the many supernatural beings that the Circus has captured. With most of them crippled and depowered by Owl's corrosive banality, they're downtrodden enough to be exhibited as harmless freaks to paying customers. |

The freaks themselves, portrayed both by the show's regulars and by people with real disabilities, are quite friendly so long as you don't cross them. | |

Batman: One storyline of Tales of the Dark Knight had Two-Face trying to rally up 'freaks' to fight back at society. At the end, it turns out they were actually very reluctant to follow him, and generally get along fairly well. A story in Comic Book/Detective Comics, again featuring Two-Face had him trying to resolve one of Harvey Dent's unfinished cases which involved a circus. The circus just happened to have Conjoined Twins in the freak show, who Two-Face alternated between feeling a connection to and despising, and who had differing opinions about Two-Face's brand of "justice". Killer Croc's backstory involves being a freak show exhibit due to his crocodilian appearance. |

The 1932 film Freaks is about one such place; given its early date, it may be the Trope Codifier for movies. It's infamous for using real-life freak show acts as actors. They try to thwart a gold-digging trapeze artist and her strongman boyfriend in the film. They succeed. Oh God, do they ever... | |

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions has two mentions of freak shows. Two posters for a freakshow in the carnival level features a fat man that bears a striking resemblance to X-Men villain Blob, especially fitting since his origin was him as a sideshow freak, and another advertises a Fantastic Rubber Man. The reason that Goblin, Vulture, and Hammerhead are villains was that they were all in a freak show; this may explain away some of their less than savory behavior. |

A Series of Unfortunate Events: the Baudelaires join a freakshow in the 9th book, "The Carnivorous Carnival", which feature a hunchback, a contortionist, and an ambidextrous man. The thing is, the ambidextrous man considers himself a freak because ambidextrous people are not a common thing and people really do consider him a freak no different than conjoined twins. | |

The DCU: In their comic book, the Wonder Twins were adopted after their parents' death to a plague; because of their special powers, they were subsequently adopted by the owner of a Space Circus. He only wanted them as part of their freak show. Batman: One storyline of Tales of the Dark Knight had Two-Face trying to rally up 'freaks' to fight back at society. At the end, it turns out they were actually very reluctant to follow him, and generally get along fairly well. A story in Comic Book/Detective Comics, again featuring Two-Face had him trying to resolve one of Harvey Dent's unfinished cases which involved a circus.

Killer Croc's backstory involves being a freak show exhibit due to his crocodilian appearance. Supergirl: "The Super-Steed of Steel": Since his sea circus is a flop, Gorbin decides to hunt and exhibit merpeople to bring in customers. "The Unknown Supergirl": As visiting the Midvale fair, Linda Danvers passes by a freakshow. Watching the "bearded lady", the "human needle" and "Jo-Jo, the dog-faced boy", she cannot help but feel sorry for them. Shortly after, Red Kryptonite makes her growing a second head, but fortunately everyone believe she is a member of the show. |

In the Australian production of Love Never Dies, there is a freakshow called Phantasma during "The Beauty Underneath". Some of the freaks featured include pinheads, a cyclops, a winged fairy, a mermaid, a man with never-cut fingernails, etc., most of them housed in mirrored obelisks. The setup is rather glamorous, especially considering that the Phantom, who grew up in a freak show, was imprisoned in a cage and, in the movie version abused. | |

The vocaloid fanfic Rotting Camellias features one of these in its Circus of Fear. The patrons of the circus cannot go into the freak tent, however, and must look into the peepholes along the side of the tent in order to view the freaks in their cage. This freakshow features Rin and Len as unnaturally Conjoined Twins, Kaito as a man with sharp teeth who acts more like an animal, and eventually Miku, after she is kidnapped by the circus and flowers begin to bloom all over her body. | |

The performers in Barnum’s show include a bearded woman, a 22 year-old dwarf, a VERY tall man, a dancer with tattoos all over his body, the original Siamese twins, a three-legged man, a dog-faced boy, a 500+ pound man, a strongman, and two African-American acrobats, among others. | |

The Elephant Man focused on John Merrick being part of a sideshow, because parts of his body were horribly disfigured, giving him the nickname of the Elephant Man. Merrick was being exhibited in the squalid Belgian freak show. (In real life, Joseph Merrick entered these shows voluntarily for the sake of his own livelihood. He was actually treated pretty well ... until a new manager stole his money and abandoned him in Brussels, forcing Merrick to try find his way back to England.) | |

Vampire: The Requiem: "Bloodlines: The Legendary" gives us a vampiric bloodline called the Carnival that was founded by Anulka, the Bohemian Mermaid, a sideshow freak who toured Europe with a small circus during the 18th century. The bodies of those embraced into the bloodline become twisted with circus-freak deformities that make them outcasts even amongst other vampires. The bloodline's Discipline, called The Show, allows them to become even more bizarre, putting on a performance that both captivates and revolts the audience. | |
