Freaked is a 1993 American film, directed by Alex Winter. It stars, along with Winter, Randy Quaid, Brooke Shields, Mr. T, Bobcat Goldthwait, and an uncredited Keanu Reeves.

Plot summary

The film opens with celebrity Ricky Coogan (Alex Winter) appearing on a talk show called The Skye Daily Show hosted by Skye Daily (Brooke Shields). The entire movie is essentially a flashback of Coogan's adventures on the island of Santa Flan as he is telling his story to Skye Daily.

Coogan accepts a job promoting a dangerously toxic fertilizer called zygrot-24 made by slimy mega-corporation EES (Everything Except Shoes) in the remote tropics of Santa Flan (named after "the patron saint of creamy deserts"). Coogan and his friend Ernie (Michael Stoyanov) fly to Santa Flan, and cross paths with a hard-willed, and attractive, young environmentalist named Julie (Megan Ward). Coogan and Ernie fool Julie into thinking they are environmentalists as well and she agrees to join them on a trip to an anti-zygrot-24 demonstration.

The trio decide to take a detour to see a freak show, and they wind up in the clutches of proprietor Elijah C. Skuggs (Randy Quaid). Skuggs has a vat full of the toxic fertilizer and uses it to morph Coogan, Ernie, and Julie into hideous freaks to become part of his show. Not wanting to spend the rest of his career playing the leading role in a freak show, Coogan plots a daring escape with the other freaks.
