Agreed -- great flick, easy to see how it would have shocked viewers of its time. Fat chance he stood of directing another "classy" movie like Dracula once this one mortified the populace, though.
There is one bit that gives me a chuckle, and don't take it as me being spiteful or anything. But at the climax, when all the freaks are wallowing through the storm after the villainess, it shows the armless/legless man wiggling through the mud with a knife in his mouth. And I have to ask...how the hell is he gonna stab somebody?
Then again, maybe he was just carrying it for the pinhead. I dunno.
