Just wondering what that is. However if another one came out before 1960 that is more disturbing, what would that one be also?

Freaks (1932) is truly one of the most chilling films I have ever seen.

The Black Cat (1934) is pretty grim for its time.

Seven Footprints to Satan was disturbing until the final scene.

Freaks is the frontrunner.
Contenders would include:
Island of Lost Souls
Kongo
The Black Cat

Never seen Freaks.
Thank you William K Everson for giving away the plot with pictures in Classic of the Horror Film.

Murders in the Zoo (1933) starts off particularly gruesomely.

Benjamin Christensen's "Haxan" from 1922 is probably right up there with the most disturbing pictures ever made. Tod Browning's "The Unknown" from 1927 is also fairly troubling.
