This cult favorite is a classic example of the right way to make campy horror flick. It's filled with laughable characters and funny but very creepy clowns. And speaking of those clowns...Wow! Their costumes and facial expressions are amazing. They look totally convincing, and they are all uniquely different from each other.

About the laughs in this movie, they come from two places, the stupidity of the humans and the clown gags. However, the clown gags make you laugh rather unnervingly because the clowns themselves are so eerie. They kill a variety of ways and I'm not going to spoil it because the kills themselves are so creative. The special effects here are all practical and they are impressive. Check out John Vernon as Officer Mooney and Royal Dano as Farmer Gene Green for further hilarity.

"Killer clowns from outer space? Holy shit."

The circus is in town! Cotton candy cocoons, pop-corn guns, ballon dogs, puppet shows, hand shadow puppetry, snake clowns and lots of alien clown evil laughter. Rightfully so, these clowns know how to entertain, there's so much creativity behind the tricks they do. Not much of a story but it's all about watching these clowns do havoc in the town in the funniest of ways. The extravagant colorful sets are a mix of Teletubbies and the Floop TV show in Spy Kids. Electric score and soundtrack. The costumes are nicely made and there's no time to get bored there's always something flashy happening on-screen. Awesome third act. A guilty pleasure all the way. Didn't want it to end. Can't wait to rewatch it.

That was the longest straw in straw history!

A parody of the "monsters from outer space" subgenre of the 50's tags every possible circus related base. The acting is hammy in keeping with that genre and worth every moment you spend with this film. More fun if you see it with friends or know the source material.

Comfort film material! It has everything you'd want from ridiculous fun horror films, it's intentionally funny, insanely creative, and it completely embraces the absurdity. The premise is bonkers and doesn't really make any sense. You can tell that a lot of heart went in to making this film as it shows on-screen. The puppet villains are both grotesque and adorable, they even kill people in clownish ways. The bright color palette used in here really enhances the viewing experience. You also got cheesy yet effective gore, killer practical effects and great soundtrack. The set designs on this are extremely impressive considering the budget. It's amazing how every actor managed to perform so badly. I understand why it's a cult classic now.

This movie is so wrong, I'm going to make a lot of people watch it just because.

A big load of complete ridiculousness. It's a loving throwback to 50s alien invasion flicks, that plays it totally straight all while being a ludicrous, goofy good time.

Proof that a movie doesn't have to be good to be enjoyable.

“They took your wife away in a balloon? Well you don't need the police, pal, you need a psychiatrist!” :joy:

First time watching this one, pleasantly surprised, ok so its goofy, its over the top, a truly crazy ride.

For one the film is very imaginative and creative in a lot of ways, such as when the clown is chasing the car and its just a clown pretending to be in a car and his feet have headlights, like what its pure genius and insanity at the same time.

It was also cool how killing them the deputy had to blast their noses off, like wtf

Looking forward to playing the upcoming video game :video_game: and reliving the crazy clown action.

How do I sum it up.....if you like goofy, off the wall, horror, sci-fi comedy then this is for you.

"In space no one can eat ice cream."

Killer Klowns from Outer-Space never fails to entertain me and I wanted to start out this Hooptober with loads of fun. This had to be my fourth watch and it still amuses me greatly. John Vernon gets funnier each time, the kills are fun, love all the colors, the creepy scene with the little girl, the handpuppet shadows, killer popcorn! The balloon dog, the weak point of the aliens, the circus like spaceship and the body count.

It is so weird this never became a franchise and it is so damn said that the sequel that they were talking about a few years ago never came to be.

Anyway if you want to have fun this Hooptober pick Killer Klowns from Outer Space. I bet those Killer Klowns won't let you down.

Happy Hooptober!
