Killer Klowns from Outer Space?? Holy Shit!! By: Sasha Slaughter

Well hey there weirdos! I know you've been impatiently waiting for Zane and I to begin the week, so here we are! And now that we're here, we are going to be bringing you Cult Horror week. Oh yeah!! Now being the "new schooler" that I am, there are probably ALOT of cult horror movies that I've never heard of.

But I'm sure Zane is gonna teach me a little something this week. Anyway, in lieu of Cult Horror week, I'm going to be reviewing the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Killer Klowns is a 1988 comedy-horror movie. It was written by Charles and Stephen Chiodo and directed by Stephen Chiodo. And for those of you who are hardcore fans of the movie, the Chiodo brothers have recently revealed that a sequel will be made in 2012. WHAT WHAT?? Let me tell you a little about this cult classic, huh?

A race of aliens (who resemble evil clowns) comes to earth and plans to kill the humans to use as their sustenance. Young couple Debbie and Mike see what they believe is a shooting star, and Debbie insists that they go check it out. They soon stumble upon a huge circus tent in the middle of the woods. They decide to take a look inside and they find doors that lead to different parts of what the believe to be a circus. 
They find a room that is filled with cotton candy cocoons, and they realize that there are people inside of them. Scared, they race out of the room and try to find their way out of the tent. On their way out, they are spotted by a few of the klowns, but safely make it out, avoiding being hit by the Klowns popcorn. They explain what they saw to the police, but naturally the authorities are skeptical and don't believe their story.

Mike takes one of the officers to the tent (which just happens to be the klowns space ship), only to find that it is gone. On the way back to the station, the officer finds abandoned cars with the pink cotton candy substance in them that Mike was talking about. The klowns terrorize the city, capturing anyone in their path to take back to their ship. Meanwhile, the officer and Mike realize that Debbie had been taken by the Klowns and try desperately to find her. 
They run into Mike's friends, Rich and Paul Terenzi, who give them a ride in their ice cream truck. They go to the town amusement park, where they believe the klowns are hiding their ship and try to find Debbie. But little do they know that Paul and Rich just may be the key to them avoiding being captured by the Killer Klowns, and possibly destroying them too.....

Killer Klowns from space....what what? Is that getting old yet? Yes? Too damn bad! Ahh! This movie was awesome. It was one of the cheesiest, most awesome funny B movies I've seen! It was funny, it was spooky, and it was downright stupid, but I liked it. It's one of the movies that is so bad, it's actually kind of good. And the whole circus themed weapons thing was mucho creative. Popcorn that came to life and made little monster clown thingers, cotton candy cocoons to keep their victims in so they can drink their blood, and balloon animals and shadow puppets that came to life! HA! Too funny!
And might I add, I don't really have a fear of clowns, but hot damn, those clowns were hella creepy. They had weird giant faces, and gross teeth...*shudders* Ughh! They were gross...but they basically embodied everything that someone may fear about clowns. It was just a comical, laugh out loud cheese fest. Overall I'd give Killer Klowns from Outer Space a 4 out of 5. It was really amusing and the way they talked creeped me out. 

And the little short clown was soo cute! I wanted to hug him! Wait, is that weird? Anyway, I would absolutely watch this movie again....and again....and...you get the idea. And since you are here and stalking me, you might as well see what Zane's got going on this week! Thanks for stopping by.
