What is behind this curtain (in Venice Beach?)

We were down there today and saw this ... we were on blades so could not go inside, but have any of you been in there? I know, it's stupid, but c'mon: it's a curtain with a big Question Mark on it -- I have to know! :)

Edit: Yes I know it's the Venice Beach Freak Show -- but I want to know specifically what we're talking about here: The Bearded Lady? The Elephant Man? What do we have going on?

Hi

I have never been there myself but did heard of it quiet a bit !
They say that you can even purchase Animals up there like a 2 headed kitten ( well it has 2 heads in one - literally freaky .. if not quiet sick ! )
They also buy Freaky things from you !

As I searched online I found a couple of Videos on youtube that actually shows pats of some shows as well as the 2 headed Turtle.

It is petty weird that shows like this still exist since they only had those back in the good old days !
Its petty suspect to say the least and Im wondering how in the World they do this ?

These are some FREAKY things they have :
- LIVE Two Headed Turtle
- two headed raccoon
- two headed chicken
- 2 two headed calves
- two headed pig with 5 legs
- squirrel with 6 legs
- rooster with 3 legs
- duck with 4 legs
- tarantula with 12 legs
- 2 cyclops pigs ( born with one eye in the middle of their face)
- pig with 2 mouths
- pig with 8 legs 4 ears and 2 tails
- all types of Strange sea creatures
- CHUPACABRA,
- 3 Human shrunken heads
- a Real Black Mamba (the Deadliest and Fastest snake in the World)
- a Two Headed baby skeleton with 3 arms
- a cyclops baby skull
- a 3 ft wide GIant Alaskan King Crab (it’s a baby)
- a duck with one head and 2 bodies
and on and on.

Some Videos of the show :

The Venice Beach Freakshow is exactly what it says: it's a freakshow. V.B.F. is known for its two-headed animals, such as the two-headed cow, chicken, raccoon, etc. I heard it also has a five-legged dog and a shrunked head. Visitors, and even celebrities, gather to see the largest collection of "freaks" in the world.

VBF was just on Dog Whisperer. Their five-legged dog needed some rehabilitation.

There's all sorts of great stuff in there it seemed...
