| If
you hate clowns, really hate clowns, hate their
cheesy balloon tricks; hate their big, stupid grins;
hate their poofy hair, then come to see the 1988
film Killer Klowns From Outer Space. It's an insanely
goofy movie that is even stupider than intended.
When
a comet crash-lands in a forest, teenagers Mike
and Debbie sneak away from their make-out session
to check out the damage. Instead of finding a smoldering
rock they discover a giant glowing circus tent!
Being the "dumb horror movie" clichés
that they are, Mike and Debbie pop their heads inside
the tent and find a zany confection of odd "carnival"
oddities, including sinister popcorn machines and
dangling cotton candy bulbs. Mike makes the uneducated
guess that this is where they hang cotton candy
to dry.
Yeah,
right.
Instead
they realize that the cotton candy is not for eating…it's
for storing the dead bodies of local townsfolk!
While making haste for an exit, Mike and Debbie
come face to face with some of the scariest clowns
ever to set down this side of the Midway!
It's
a gift from the movie gods. These demented klowns
are a mix between P.T. Barnum lore and H. R. Giger's
twisted work. The script is a lot of fun, featuring
a ton of clown gags tilted everyway possible. Cotton
candy, custard pies and even shadow puppets aren't
safe from the klowns' evil plans.! Everyone is having
a ball while dodging evil kernels of corn and devilish
balloon animals.
