Summary: Surprisingly Good Movie
Review: When I saw the title, I was expecting not to be too entertained. But I was pleasantly surprised. I loved it and I shared it with a few friends and they loved it too. Don't let the title fool you--Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a must see.

Summary: Can we say drugs maybe?
Review: I just want to know what Stphen Chiodo was drinking when he came up with this story. The movie is very entertaining and goofy. I'd also like to know if the people who get put in the cotton candy cocoons morph into killer klowns themselves after the existing killer klowns suck there brains out. Very creative way of looking at the paranormal.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A bad movie that is so bad that it's extremly funny
Review: I really love this movie, not because it is a very good movie but since it is so cool and unbelievable that it makes you laugh, a lot.

Buy it now, even though it is in Spanish.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Review: I absuloutely loved the film Killer Klowns From outer Space. I wish they would make a sequel. it's absulotely spactaculier. It's about Vick and Debbie who one night see a comet sore over them and land in a valley. Soon hideous clowns with ray guns,man eating popcorn,and killer cotton candy come out of a Big Top Circus Tent which is their spaceship. Exactly where the comet landed. They use their tricks and things to attack the town members and turn them into cotton candy cocoons. In one scene the fat clown sticks a whirly straw in one of the cotton candy cocoons and sucks the blood out of the person inside.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesomeness in a hand basket
Review: I love this movie so much. The whole purpose of my life was to get this movie. Of course this is the spanish version and I don't know why the english version is no where to be fine. Well anyway the clowns look fargin' awesome. The special effects are great and the premise is just zany for lack of a better word. This is the only movie that can offer you cotton candy cocoons, living popcorn, and freakin' klowns that drink blood!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Fatally Funny & Scary Ride Through The Big Top...
Review: It's hard to believe that an innocuous PG-13 B-movie such as the Chiodo Bros. underrated masterpiece "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" could instill a sense of mysterious dread and thrills to an inveterate horror fan like myself. The Klowns definitely break down the redundant slasher film villian barriers that ran rampant during the 80's and give a frighteningly original, yet humorous flair to their evil work that parallels the old alien invasion films of the 50's (right down to the backwoods farmer and his dog and to the overly-skeptical village police). These extraterrestial jokesters are by no means makers of fun merriment, but rather ravenous predators who hoodwink their victims with circus magic and sinister smiles.

The first time I viewed this acclaimed cult classic, John Mussari's ominous circus synth soundtrack, grizzled Officer Mooney (John Vernon) turned into a klown merrionette, and the corrosive cream pie death of the security guard each made a frightful impact on me! Not only that, I developed a short-lived repulsion to cotton candy after seeing the homicidal Klowns in action! Now, that I'm older, wiser, and even more desensitized, I've begun to see "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" as 70% comedy/30% horror since this film does boast some of the most baffoonish dialogue and action I've seen in a B-movie. Mike (Grant Cramer), Officer Mooney, and the hilariously inept Terrenzi Bros. (Peter Licassi & Mike Siegel) give just the right amount of comedic chemistry needed against the story's spooky premise. The Klowns themselves do offer a couple of cheesy chuckles via the duplicitous "child's play" antics they use to capture and expunge the town populace for their own vampiric food supply. And one just cannot get over the elaborately designed circus tent sets, props, and klown costumes! The theme song video feature by The Dickies is also pretty darn cool. All in all, this indelible pic proves that 1988 was a gem year for the horror genre.

I have been fortunate enough to obtain a previously-viewed copy of KKFOS this year after a near-exhaustive search on the Web! I found it through Amazon's zShop site, which may still have some English-version copies left (knowing that this film has become a rare find both in retail and rental). I wish Media Home Entertainment/HVG Video would get off their languid behinds and re-release the Klowns on VHS widescreen or DVD seeing that the Killer Klowns cult is bigger than they probably realize.

Believe it or not, a Klown sequel is in the planning stages according to the Chiodo Bros' official website (as well as a coveted email I received last year from Stephen himself)...so keep on watching the skies for more intergalatic Big Top mayhem and laughs!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Klowning Around Proves Whimsically Scary...
Review: My first experience with "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" (and for about 4 ensuing years later) was one of terrifying surprise! I came across puppet FX wunderkind Steven Chiodo's film on HBO back in 1989 and decided to give it a try. "How bad could an extraterrestial clown invasion in the 1980's B-movie world be?", I thought. Even now, I definitely take those words back! For a campy PG-13 horror film, "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" does pack enough (albeit sometimes silly) stamina to be a respectable thriller. Chiodo did go to appreciable lengths to warp the innocuously age-old fun ideals we may have had towards clowns and the circus as kids. Everything from cotton candy to popcorn to balloons to pies in the face is given a caustic, tongue-in-cheek twist as the choice of weapons for the Killer Klowns. Also, the captivating tactics the Klowns use to lure their naive, hapless victims (from puppet shows to finger shadows) make an ominously (yet predictably) fun touch. Finally, the sythesizer/rock score, set designs, and use of exuberant striped colors, pokadots, and shadows really added a dimension of mysterious dread in this flick! Basically, "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" follows your formulaic sci-fi B-movie. Two college kids, Mike (Grant Cramer) & Debbie ("Weird Science's" Suzanne Snyder), are the first humans to uncover an uncanny alien invasion by the Klowns after misconstruing their circus tent spacecraft laden with bloody persons encapsulated in cotton candy cocoons for a comet. Obviously, they try to convince the police of their harrowing discovery with no success (thanks to a comicly gruff John Vernon). Soon, the Klowns make their way into town and ubiquitously kill every citizen with their man-eating popcorn, cotton candy phasor guns, and other "child's play" antics with no remorse in sight! Sure enough, it's up to Mike and his friends to put the Klowns' killing spree/feeding frenzy to a halt. The Klowns actually feast on the blood of their cotton candy pod victims, which I find sickenly cool! The action that transpires is a manic, roller coaster ride of both humor and terror. Call me a whimp for thinking of "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" as scary. But then again, I thought "Scream" was just pathetic Gen-X hot air!
