10 Best Filmmaking Siblings

10. The Chiodo Brothers

Directed by Stephen Chiodo, co-written by his brother Charles, and produced by other brother Edward, the seminal 1980s cult film Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a one-of-a-kind oddity that birthed the creepy clown movement and inspired the Insane Clown Posse (though they would never admit it).

The movie has the distinctive Chiodo style, a combination of cartoonish exaggeration and comical darkness. They worked on many other films as special effects designers (including Critters and Team America: World Police), but this was the only film in which the Chiodo Brothers distinctive production and directing style reached the screen.

There is only one Chiodo Brothers movie, but that fantastically weird film is more than worthy of landing them a place on this list.
