8. Killer Clowns From Outer Space - 1988
Dont ask me how I got my hands on this movie as a kid. What parent would let their child watch this? I dont know. That doesn't seem to matter anymore because I did get to watch this one, a lot. Have you seen this one? Well let me boil it down for you: there are clowns (with a K)from spaceand they kill people. Sadly the title doesn't give away the best partthey turn the citizens of the town they are attacking into cotton candy. So yeah, there you have it. So heres why I liked it as a kid: alien clowns. Heres why I liked it better as a kid and not a grown adult: alien clowns. In a day of Sharknados this really should not seem like a problem. But that does not excuse the childhood blinders I wore when watching this as a kid. Why are they attacking? We dont know. Why do they look like clowns, an earth created thing? I dont know (unless it was explained and I dont remember do to getting light-headed during a recent unfortunate re-watch). Why do they use man-eating popcorn and shadow puppets to gobble up unsuspecting civilians? Who the heck cares because it was so ridiculous at the time no one bothered to ask. Granted this film was probably created for adult audiences, unlike most on this list, for the reasons to be crazy like it was. But I look at it like this, its bad when it was a good film to me as a child but not even slightly entertaining as an adult. This was another Netflix treasure I discovered then buried back away very quickly.
