If you've never seen Killer Klowns from Outer Space, set about changing that right now - you won't regret it.

The 1988 cult classic horror-comedy delivers exactly what it says on the tin, but is also an underappreciated marvel of practical effects and costume design.

DVD owners can snag themselves an awesome behind-the-scenes extra by simply leaving the menu idle for a few minutes, after which an Easter egg menu will appear, allowing you to select "Klown Auditions," which is precisely what you think it is.

The three-and-a-half-minute clip shows actors being auditioned to play the costumed titular murderous alien clowns.

It's fascinating to watch the actors working out the physicality of their characters with the crew, and confirms that they all put way more love, care, and effort into a film called Killer Klowns from Outer Space than anyone would reasonably expect. But the stellar end result speaks for itself.
