About this movie

Finally the truth about clowns is out! Beneath their sinister grins and wildly patterned clothes are clever killers from out of this world. The "juxtaposition of their toy-store arsenal and malevolent intent proves to be a tasty combination" (Los Angeles Times) in this killer entertainment that will leave you fearing these big-top creatures for good. A spaceship looking like a circus tent lands in a field near a small town, signaling the attack of deviant, red-nosed, balloon-twisting psychos from another world who plan to annihilate mankind by turning people into cotton candy! Luckily, the town's teen citizenry decides to fight back and teach the cosmic bozos a lesson. But these klowns are no klutzes, turning popcorn, peanuts and caramel corn into playful but deadly weapons of madcap destruction and mayhem!

This movie is insane... The clowns have some iconical scary faces which don't move incredibly well. More funny than scary at times but still somehow manages to be quite creepy. This feels like a movie MST3K should be picking apart if it didn't already seem to be making fun of the horror genre by itself.

I give it three stars, because it made my top ten favorite movies. It is trashy and real cheesy, but the plot and nightmare-looking clowns from outer space evens out the movie to make it decent. I got my shirt hung up on my wall.
