Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Kreepy klown space aliens invade Earth and obliterate victims with kotton kandy ray guns and acid-drenched cream pies. John Vernon and Royal Dano are the only recognizable cast members.
This wacko sci-fi parody and cult favorite is only movie to date written and directed by the talented Bronx-born Chiodo Brothers (Stephen, Charles and Edward), who have created memorably warped puppet and special effects designs for movies as varied as Critters, Dinner for Schmucks and Team America: World Police. But no worries– a belated sequel, Return of the Killer Klowns in 3-D, is supposedly due out this year. The Chiodo Bros. website is here.
