Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)
Director: Stephen Chiodo
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
You'll never guess what this one is about. Funnily enough, it's about this huge circus tent that mysteriously appears up in the woods by a small American town, and then there's all these totally weird clowns who go around doing, like, gross things to people with projectile candy floss. Seems the clowns are on a mission from (surprise) outer space to collect human bodies for food. However, they are foiled by the young hero, who discovers that you can kill 'em if you knock off their big red noses. Utterly ridiculous, the dialogue exquisitely dumb, the acting soooo bad, it's one for cheap laughs.Author: DA
