Short description

When Darren Shan is taken to a circus that's chock-full of sideshow oddities, he meets a vampire and receives a life-changing bite on the neck.

What's left behind the scenes

Ken Watanabe’s character is a reference to Chang Shih-ch’uan. He was a Chinese man of enormous size in Barnum’s circus in the 19th century. It was claimed that his height exceeded 2 meters 44 centimeters.
The film is based on the book series "Cirque du Freak" by Darren Shan (Cirque du Freak: The Saga of Darren Shan, 2000-2006).
