Freaks Unleashed is a ceremonial show that is featured annually for Fright Fest at Six Flags St. Louis, performed on the Palace Porch. It debuted for Fright Fest 2011 and has returned every year since. The show marks the beginning of Fright Fest, with the Grand Witch magically summoning the Freaks to the Palace Gardens and then allowing them to disperse and unleash chaos onto the park. A second and nearly identical version of the show titled Final Freakout was formerly performed nightly near park closing from 2011 to 2017.
