Editor's Note
A kampy, kult favorite! After a meteor plunges to Earth, young lovers Mike and Debbie discover a circus tent-spacecraft piloted by grinning, red-nosed aliens. The klown passengers are not happy makers of merriment however, but instead demented homicidal aliens with rather unique ways of killing their victims (acid pie, anyone?), who methodically preserve tasty human treats in cotton candy cocoons. Naturally, the kruel killer klowns kreate khaos for the kops, until someone discovers the aliens' weakness--by a nose...

3 of 5 Midnight Movie Gem Wednesday, October 04, 2006
Mel from Mt. Pleasant, SC
Killer Klowns is a cult classic! The perfect pic for a variety of film enthusiasts: budding teenage film makers, campers and slumber party goers 12 years old and up, middle school thru college sci-fi clubs, kids who want to watch a creepy clown movie but are to afraid to watch Killjoy, and the list goes on. This DVD has become a staple in our house and on road trips with our 10 to 15 year old sons, in fact we quote lines from Killer Klowns on a weekly basis. I know it's weird, but what is life without a little weirdness now and then and Killer Klowns offers a big helping of weird mixed with hilarious. The more often you watch it, the funnier it becomes. Kids under 10 may find the "Klowns" are too creepy and nightmare inducing--there are also several 4 letter words sprinkled throughtout, but there is no nudity. The make-up is amazing and the acting is...well...very fun to watch. Buy it now-love it for years to come!
