Nope, Cirque Du Freak came right out of the mind of Darren Shan :)
Darren Shan is a he...And he called it cirque du freak because there is a freak show called'Cirque du freak' which is french for 'circus of the freaks'.
Steve things its awesome
The Cirque Du Freak is a traveling show. It happens in many places including the theatre in Darren's hometown, if that's what you're referring to.
The main character of Cirque du Freak: A Living Nightmare is Darren Shan, a teenage boy who becomes involved in the world of vampires after attending a freak show.
Darren first see larten crepsley at the freak show with is friend
Cirque Du Freak in English means Circus of Freaks. The reason the books are all called "Cirque Du Freak" is because in the books Darren and Mr. Crepsley go to the Cirque Du Freak to participate in the shows. The Cirque Du Freak is a freak show filled with cool, wild, and amazing creatures or "freaks". it means something like freakshow which were banned a very long time ago due to the way they treated the freaks. basically people that wernt like other people and were different than others would goto these cirques and get put on show then people would pay and come to see the freaks for their own personal pleasure.
No, "Cirque du Freak" is not a true story. It is a work of fiction written by Darren Shan and is part of a series of novels about a boy who becomes a vampire's assistant after attending a mysterious circus show.
Cirque Du Freak concerns the story of Darren Shan, who goes to a freak show with his friend, Steve. After the show, they steal a performing spider, which bites Steve, paralysing him. Darren decides the only person with the cure is the ringmaster, so Darren becomes half vampire in order to save his friend.
Victoria Justice wrote the song "Freak the Freak Out."
