KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE (1988) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@EOMReacts]

Such a classic, and the game has been a BLAST as well! What's your favorite Cult B-Movie?

[@Lakeshow82]

Killer Klowns

[@brettk143]

Repo Man

[@blazinjedi2008]

I will never watch Rocky Horror Picture Show. Fantastic movie. By all rights made Tim Curry a household name in America but I made the mistake of watching one time on LSD and I'm done with it now. Riff Raff can kiss my butt lol

@@SparkleP8nter I followed that stunt up a couple months later with Jurassic Park 3 but this was in the theater this time. I only tripped a couple times after that.

Fun Fact: they took the clown heads from Killer Klowns and repainted them and used them for the trolls in Ernest Scared Stupid

[@SFOlson]

I was searching the comments to see if anyone said this!

[@kylekimbro9496]

That’s wild. Loved earnest scared stupid. This movie freaked me out and now I know why that troll freaked me out lol

[@Corvid-w3b]

Ear Ernest scared stupid was a Halloween classic when I grew up in the nineties. But any Ernest movie was on repeat VHS. Never knew they were the same masks but on rewatch I can see it.

ARE YOU SERIOUS"?!?!?!

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

​@@MindOfJigsaw1yeah they was the trolls

[@maximillianosaben]

My stepfather introduced me to this movie as a double feature following Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

[@LordVolkov]

Have you seen Return of the Killer Tomatoes?

[@profanepersonality]

This is one of the greatest B movies ever. Right up there with the Evil Dead trilogy.

[@toxikelement1372]

Agreed. The cheesey comedy they have is unmatched. 👍

[@JH-lo9ut]

I don't think it fits the category of a b movie. This one is silly by choise, the classic b movies are silly because they are genuinely bad, or because they had a showstring budget and no one in the production gave a f*ck. This is a fun movie, but it is made as a homage to genuine b movies and it is way to well made to fit in that category.

[@reservoirdude92]

The 70s is my favorite decade of film, but the 80s was just rife with ALL KINDS of craziness, this flick is just one example of the creativity filmmakers had ❤

[@michaelpoore21]

The actors in the Killer Clown suits were at Scarefest horror convention. They were really cool guys. They brought some props from the movie, including one of the Clown heads.

[@ChrisMillerCrazyHouse]

The Lady Clowns got a unique "Key to the Plot" scene

[@BigGator5]

"What're ya gonna do with those PIES, boys?" Fun Fact: The giant "King Klown" from the ending sequence, affectionately called "Klownzilla" by the Chiodo Brothers, was actually played by one of them (Charles Chiodo). Budget Friendly Fact: The $2 Million budget went primarily on production costs. The clowns and visual effects were created almost entirely by the filmmakers at very little cost. The Klowns parts were detachable, thus creating an illusion of a large number of different Klowns. Stunt SNAFU Fact: The scene in which a car is thrown over a cliff was initially intended to be far more spectacular - the car was to fly over the cliff and crash down to the ground. Unfortunately, the sling rope snapped because the effects crew members neglected to remove the stoppers from underneath the car's wheels. The result was what is seen in the final film, the car slowly tumbles over the edge and becomes caught on a tree.

[@nicolesaunders2964]

Fun fact officer Mooney is played by John Vernon who played Dean Wormer in the movie animal house, Fletcher in the movie outlaw Josie Wales, and Larkin in the John Wayne movie Brannigan

[@kaymuldoon3575]

I knew he looked familiar. I definitely remember him in Animal House.

[@SurvivorBri]

He's done some memorable roles. Recognizable, distinct voice.

[@sca88]

This film was robbed of an Academy Award.

[@stormtroopertk8]

Fun fact that popcorn gun at the beginning cost $7000 to make and 6 weeks to build it making it the most expensive prop for them to make. Plus it was only usable for one use so they had to get the scene just right

[@nicolesaunders2964]

The "cotton candy" is like a spider wrapping a fly in its spool of web

[@harleysjokeryt4347]

How dude getting his head punched off wasn't a "shut the f up" is beyond me 😂

[@SurvivorBri]

Don't know if you recognized her but the actress who played Debbie (Suzanne Snyder) was also in Weird Science. She played Deb, the girl that Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) hooks up with.

[@SuperScottCrawford]

Oooh, I knew I recognized her mouth. Thx!

[@ovyto6267]

I love that you pointed out how Mooney was actually made into a dummy. Lot of reactions I’ve seen till now said that just funny or creepy how it looked but you actually made the tie-in and I love it😂

[@manuelvillacana9284]

Another movie with a great soundtrack would be critters from the year 1986. It features Johnny stieal with his hit single power of the night.

[@kristal9355]

"you gonna knock my block off?"

[@bicknell67]

Omg one of my childhood favorites can't wait to see your reaction.

[@MichelleMabery]

"Did that say crack house? That says crack house!" 😂😂 Crazy house!

[@JBthree24]

One of the cheesiest yet most fun yet underrated movies of the 80s

[@Ntron475]

Fun facts the klown costumes were later reused in other things. Klownzilla was used in the Ghostbusters Universal Studios attraction. And some of the klowns were also reused in Ernest Scared stupid.

[@TheBombasticFatRat]

"This is no fun house" im dying. Reminded me of Star Wars 😂 "Thats no moon..."

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

Also like Star Wars they used Matte Paintings for the giant room clown ship.

[@sca88]

I saw the punk band who did theme song a couple times in the 80's, The Dickies.

I stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and I've binged many slasher Saturdays and other movie reactions you've put out. You've become my favourite reaction channel right now. Keep up the good work J! All the best!

[@LadyEmu]

This and Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes are pure cocaine cabinet gold 😂

[@thxchucky]

this is better

[@OneDarkMartian]

Great reaction to one of my all time favourite movies. When they say they don’t make ‘em like this anymore, they really don’t. What an absolutely brilliant, fun, creative and campy movie. Full on 80s joy.

[@Jrmrmrc]

Speaking of the soundtrack: composer John Massari released an updated soundtrack album with help from Bear McCreary and the Dickies

[@Lakeshow82]

The Chiodo Brothers must have been smoking some good stuff to come up with cotton candy cocoons and Killer shadow puppets 😂

[@potts9274]

This is one of my all time favorite movies- i've always said they should remake it but actually make it super scary. Mooney is hands down my favorite character and has one of the best kills in the movie and one of the sole creepy parts. Such a banger!

[@orlandoruizjr3834]

This movie is an 80s classic. I gotta watch it every October.

[@nickschnider9191]

So sorry I missed the premiere. Have a good one everyone and for the record I bought this DVD when our local rental place was going out of business

[@Psilocybin77]

The Chiodos brothers who made this film also did the creature effects for another 80s creature feature classic "Critters". The first and second movie of that series are absolutely wonderful.

[@kristal9355]

The popcorn monsters are by far my favorite.... "Another Door?!"

[@AceMorrison983]

I am so glad you reacted to this one Jay, as an inspiring filmmaker, there's a big lesson I take away from this movie that even if your budget is low, your imagination shouldn't. For that reason alone is why even after 36 years, this movie has been a cult classic. Other b movies at this time or even now would spend way too much time on the characters explaining things to the audience and you seeing very little of the monsters doing said things, you don't get that with this, you get what you expect and even more. Some may look at these effects and say it's cheap but it has a charming and earnest qualitity you can't help but love, you feel the people who made this put their best efforts into it. This is also a horror movie I love where the horror doesn"t come from the immediate kills/scares but when you stop and think about the grave implications. To think there's an advance race of aliens that can bend and warp reality to their will with their sole MO being they take great pleasure in toying and killing their preys just because they can is terriyfing. Fun fact: Almost all except for one Klown have names. The one who shot the popcorn bazooka is Rudy, the one who Jason Voorhees'd the biker is Shorty, Shadow Puppetteer is Slim, the one drinking cotton candy is Chubby, and finally the klown that ain't shit and the first to die is Jumbo, just to name a few. I love seeing your reactions and to keep it up, man ✌

Universal Studios Hollywood had a Killer Klown haunted house for Halloween horror nights and it was amazing! The klowns looked movie quality and they had hanging cotton candy that looked so real.

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

It still gets me to this day that people still don't know about "Frozen Dairy Desserts" and how it's not Ice Cream. Mainly how people just pick up what they think is ice cream in their grocery store's freezer section but they never read the label on carton where it clearly says "Frozen Dairy Dessert". Ice cream is made with 100% milk/cream/dairy while frozen dairy dessert item has like less than 10% dairy in it. They use stuff like like coconut oil or vegetable oil in frozen dairy desserts. Thats why they literally never melt.

Always loved this movie and it wasn't until a couple years ago that I learned a cool fact that made me love it just a little more. One of my favorite comedians is Christopher Titus and he has a small part in this as a guy walking across the street, looks over, sees cops and just says "Pigs". Funny to me!

[@michiganjfrog366]

I just started the reaction and I was wondering if you recognized the actress Suzanne Snyder. She is playing Debbie and also played Deb in weird science and also was Brenda in Return of the Living Dead part 2. She knows how to deliver the cheese.

[@JebWCManning]

When Halloween's Spooky Season comes up, I'd recommend watching Ernest Scared Stupid. It's a Halloween horror comedy classic. It stars one of my favorite actors, Jim Varney, and I watch it pretty much immediately as October starts. It's a must see movie every Halloween for me. Also, it has a connection to Killer Klowns from Outer Space. The creature effects for Ernest Scared Stupid were done by the Chiodo Brothers. The Chiodo Brothers were also the guys who wrote, directed and produced Killer Klowns from Outer Space as well as doing the practical effects and makeup. Some of the effects from Killer Klowns are actually repurposed for Ernest Scared Stupid. I think it'd make for a great and fun reaction. Perfect for the Halloween season.

[@Dogvinity]

One of my favorite reveals is the zipper at 16:49

[@ShockL0ver]

[@brettk143]

What is the STFU over/under?

[@Chamomileable]

Definitely one of my favorite corny 80's horror movies. The idea of alien clowns is so original and the writers and crew did an awesome job at turning all kinds of gags and party tricks into creative tools of murder for the Klowns.

[@sonnieandjacob]

I watched just to see if you would watch that one clown sit up in the beginning and call him the undertaker 😂

A classic I saw way too young and have loved ever since. It's ridiculous, the clowns are weirdly funny and kinda cute (at least Shorty), and the theme song rocks pretty hard.

[@TomCat777]

Bro, there's a reason this is a cult classic, it's the ultimate guilty pleasure movie. It never takes itself serious and it's so over the top and so bad, that you cannot help but like it. LOL

As a kid I tuned into this at the beginning of the “knock my block off scene”. I said, “okay, whatever the f*ck this is.”

The short clown you was calling Jojo is actually called Shorty. All the main clowns in the movie i believe are Jumbo, Fatso, Shorty, Rudy, Spike, Slim, Bibbo, Chubby, Frank, Joe, Magori, and Talls. The 2 female clowns was Rosebud and Daisy. There's also the popcorn baby clowns and the giant clwon was Jojo the Klownzilla Which the left over mask was repainted and used for the Trolls in the movie Earnest Scared Stupid

Well, we don't know where they came from, but we do know why. Food. Had to stock up. You're right, the cop should have died...and, in fact, he did in the original ending. Test audiences didn't like it, so they shot a happier ending. The fact it made no damn sense wasn't important. Then again, what DID make sense in this movie?

[@chuckvelten5337]

Although it's in black and white and a little bit difficult at times to follow. A great sci-fi movie from the mid to late '70s. Is a film called Eraserhead. Keep up the good work.

Eraserhead is a true nightmare of a film directed by David Lynch, who also did The Elephant Man, Dune (1984), Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks (TV), Mulholland Drive, and others!
