Turning clowns into killers is one thing, but killer clowns that aren't even human? That's entirely another. Serving up your dose of horror with an extraterrestrial twist, Killer Klowns From Outer Space takes all the terrifying qualities of your average Bozo and cranks them up to 11, bringing to life monsters that look like melted plasticine models of what clowns would maybe look like if you covered your eyes in vaseline and squinted a bit.

Lumpy, awkward, but just humanoid enough to set your teeth on edge, the Killer Klowns are played for laughs - but can still blast you into nonexistence should you interfere with their circus antics. Armed with popcorn guns and deadly magic tricks, the Klowns are nightmarish, almost hallucinogenic in quality, with no amount of schlocky comedy bandaging over their intensely creepy rubber faces. Gross.
