“A sinister three-ring circus of sneaky gore!”
- L.A. Weekly
Finally, the truth about clowns is out! Beneath their smirky sinister grins and wildly patterned clothes are clever killers from out of this world. Killer Klowns From Outer Space strips away their painted faces, unmasking horrifying monsters with the ultimate human death plan. The “juxtaposition of their toy-store arsenal and malevolent intent proves to be a tasty combination” (Los Angeles Times) that will leave you fearing these big-top creatures for good.
A spaceship - looking like a circus tent - lands in a field near a small town, signaling the attack of deviant, red-nosed, balloon-twisting psychos from another world who play to annihilate mankind - by turning people into cotton candy! Luckily, the town’s teen citizenry decides to fight back and teach the cosmic bozos a lesson. But these klowns are no klutzes, turning popcorn, peanuts, and caramel corn into playful - but deadly - weapons of madcap destruction and mayhem!
