Just as Classic as you want it to be, the movie is "X" and the really funny thing is, it's not even X-rated. This film has a couple of the best scenes ever made. The combination of characters at Mentalo's sideshow is beyond compare. Don Rickles at his sarcastic best,(really not very funny, and almost scary), combined with Jonathan Haze & Dick Miller makes for a true wonder to behold!

Let's not forget the scene where Milland pulls out his eyes at the tent revivial meeting -- and Corman edited out his last wail of "I ... CAN ... STILL ... SEE!" Which would have made this one of the most horrifying films ever!
"it's not even X-rated"
It was indeed x-rated, in the UK, where it was first released as the B picture on a double bill with Masque of the Red Death (also x-rated for the British market).
The UK censor board was really uptight! Must have been the eyes!
