Fun Fact: The clowns were in fact, played by actual clowns. The filmmakers wanted people who had a background in the circus, given the nature of the film, so they hired these individuals. How do I know this? I'm friends with a guy who knows them. In a way, he's friends with Killer Klowns.

[@perforce1]

You could say, he’s down with the klown?

[@zetetick395]

Quit klowning around, you guys

[@richardwetzeliii4195]

I am 17 and I remember going into a Block Buster and getting this movie with my mom when I was about 6 or 7 at the time and when I brought this home and watched it that night I fell in love with this movie. One of my favorites.

[@dennisalvarado5134]

So you guys did this because of request? God bless everyone who requested this gem. Man that quote at the end. Perfect.

[@hudsonthejojo2825]

This film deserves all the love it gets and more. It's an honest shame that a sequel/reboot/remake hasn't been made, because honestly, this film should've been a franchise from the start. This film alone has more franchise potential than most other horror films. I believe that a new Killer Klowns movie will eventually come about, it's just a matter of playing the waiting game at this point.

[@donkey0303]

great review more people need to see Killer Klowns form Outer Space oh and I wouldn't mind seeing a review of a Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

[@bladepuppetmaster1]

Fun Fact: some of the clown masks were reused in the movie Ernest Scared Stupid at the end where all the trolls come up. the fat one and also the red spike haired one were reused

[@666tickets]

This review was long overdue :D Also: How incredibly amazing is the soundtrack?! The Dickies FTW!!!!

[@MandoGirl22]

After watching this, I went to watch it and I LOVED it!! I love Sci Fi movies and Sci Fi horror movies. Thank you so much for redeeming this movie and doing the review, you guys are my favorite reviewers!

[@yadidimeanmaine]

I could watch this movie at anytime and enjoy it. It's one of the greatest ever background movies when you have people over.

[@sharonboyden5660]

Just found you guys and binge watching your reviews. I love Killer Klowns. So glad you reviewed and loved it. I saw it so many times as a kid and it was so unique. I’m lucky my Dad was a horror fan so I saw tons of classic and unique horror films from the 80’s growing up. He used to tape them as well to watch later so I watched them over and over again lol

[@xenablossom4682]

I just realized the large circus tent is called the big top, and what's the shape of the killer klowns' spaceship-a big top!😂

[@volzman2172]

You guys really need to do Tucker and Dale vs evil that's a perfect horror comedy

[@anthonychase3752]

Yes and also Rotld part 1, and 2

[@Destroya7961]

And the award for most low key reaction to a guy getting his head knocked clean off goes to the guy that said damn

[@jasondouglas152]

The music alone for this film is amazing

[@xenablossom4682]

Yeah. I wonder if it's been used in actual circuses. If so, it would be awesome!

[@allencampbell3350]

SO glad you guys tackled this. One of my all time faves.

[@promnightdumpsterbaby9553]

You guys deserve so many more views and subs. I can,and do, watch you guys every day. 😁

[@williedoit3381]

When I was a kid, and I watch this movie, special effects went right over my head. I thought this was the coolest movie ever

[@mistermatix8241]

Love this film! I remember Suzanne Snyder (Debbie) played Deb in Weird Science, and John Vernon, aka Dean Wermer from National Lampoons Animal House! Another great review guys, love your channel, reminds me of when me and my mate watch films, and make observations!

[@TheBeird]

That theme music makes me think about starting up a game on the Commodore Amiga!

[@TheMattJacks]

I LOVE you guys together. Great interplay between you. Youre smart and detailed. You have a new fan in me. Hellraiser reviews got me into you guys, btw.

[@theblankpanther]

Why was I so bothered by the seat switching?? 😂 I'm ridiculous. Thanks for the review of this offbeat classic!

[@fadi5956]

theblankpanther yea i noticed it too

[@ManDuderGuy]

Irks me too. Blasphemous!

[@iidirectxii7545]

If the sequel ever gets made I feel it should be set in the 80's. I think it would loose a lot of it's charm if it was set now. It would be awesome if the sequel was filmed using the same type of film they used for the original movie, it would help keep it looking closer to the original movie and give it it's own look. Play on the early 80's vibe with the hair styles, fashion and pop culture from that time.

[@AarenJable]

Great review as always!

[@thewonkyeyedwoman]

I think the popcorn gun was one of the most expensive props on the set

[@jasondouglas152]

Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead. 1991 Would be a fun review to watch

[@dianaarcticfox5832]

There is an episode of Extreme ghostbusters which sort of pays homage to this film. Also, in the episode Deadliners they have cenobite-like creatures. It scared the shite of me as a child, but is was in the 90s, you know, it would have never aired today

[@xenablossom4682]

The one thing I've always wondered with the film's characters is what's up with them not looking outside first before opening their doors? They just hear someone at the door and open wide. Anyone with a lick of common sense would know that's just asking for trouble.

[@slowflowsen498]

review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

[@AlexaExtraordinaire]

Classic little horror flick! I remember the VHS cover was printed sideways vertical and really stood out in the video store shelf. Also, in the 80's just about EVERY film had it's own font in it's title, ow beautiful isn't it?

[@matthias_samahl1266]

Wish i would have grown up with this movie, just like monster squad i think it's perfect to show to kids to ease them into horror movies. Another one that's great for this would be 'The Witches'. Really think you guys should review that one.

[@jerryback305]

Luv this channel. Keep up the good wrk, guys

[@xenablossom4682]

The killer klown "Butch" has the distinction of being the first killer klown to be seen in the film and the first one to be killed.

[@ethanriley5293]

Another great review guys. Kinda unrelated to this video but I've been wanting to hear you guys review the original Romero Living Dead/Dead trilogy(Night, Dawn and Day).

[@rockdesu]

This movie is the reason why I hate clowns.

[@stunningandbrave7475]

Yes!! Finally a review for this movie!! Forever encompassed in 80s cheese... Rock on, guys!

[@waynedodgin7449]

Always have the song by the Dickies on my Halloween party playlist.Cheers lads.Nicely done as always.

[@drakeloki4214]

Because of the bloody face of the old man, that one guy in the holding cell when his arm pops out and it is burnt and bleeding slightly but mostly whole, and the way Fatso checks the cocoons I think the cotton candy dissolves a person over time but it does probably kill them instantly or paralyzes the victims. Also the issue with the women being put into balloons A we only have a confirmed sample of 2 out of x and the air is limited, Debbie almost suffocated so really who knows the point of the balloons, maybe it was just to have them.

[@WrestlingSmarks]

I just assumed they were pie remnants that fell outta the sky from the blown-up ship.

[@91lifetime23]

Niicee, i love this film & own the limited edition steelbook, will there be a The Mummy review? :(

[@Charmed.cherub]

keep up the great work✌👍

[@JohnMassari]

Great review!

[@lonedragon3261]

Awesome music! I was watching the livestream when Decker Shado had you on. :)

[@JohnMassari]

@@lonedragon3261 Decker is a swell dude!

[@irllcd13]

Do James Gunn's Slither. great horror-comedy. Love that movie. Is Candy Floss an actual term? Everyone I know calls its Cotton Candy.

[@aleksanderandreassen9552]

You guys should review Virus with Jamie Lee Curtis! I think it's righ up your ally. Or Slither as well.

[@iidirectxii7545]

Aleksander I love that movie, one of my personal favourite guilty pleasure movie's.

[@Crashgarcia9995]

26:56, that’s cool Ian, and they actually have names but just never said in the film. And shorty is the name of the short clown 🤡

[@nurse425]

You guys should do Deadly Friend, would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

[@robertoserranogibson]

Thanks guys!! This is amazing

[@Diablokidfan]

You guys should review the blob and it's remake

[@jodyspiegel73]

It should be one of the best movies of all time!

[@willschwarting2224]

Sorry bro.. you kinda fucked up the Devils Rejects quote lol. great review as always. I would love to see an American Psycho review. thanks guys !

[@ChristinaHeadley-sk2ig]

FUN FACT: Some of the clowns were turned into trolls for Ernest Scared Stupid

[@jodyspiegel73]

Has anyone thought about writing a backstory of the clowns?

[@shelleywayne4329]

I watched this when it came to VHS brilliant never seen anything like it.

[@chrisfaucett1467]

I loved this movie and I love clowns! but my sister hates clowns.

[@nathanforester5993]

There have been talks of a 3D Revival/sequel to this movie for ages.

[@matthewburgess6076]

Lmao I saw this a while back anything clowns freak me out and oh my scary clowns that would give me a heart attack!

[@markpugh6808]

Love this film it is so cheesy but fun

[@azraelswrd]

Completely and utterly ridiculous... and I loved it. =)

[@johnlynch362]

Hi guys I'm a big fan of your KZbin channel I think it'd be a great idea if you did some of the unusual Horrors things like pin Castle frear Grace bad taste I think you get the idea of what I'm saying

[@chriskrausesmovie]

got it on special edition...my top 20 horror films ever

[@bentramer682]

It's Craaaazy A clown got in a car accident, they kept pulling out bodies.

[@ScreamingScallop]

Perfect shirts for the occasion! I'll never watch the damn thing, but Killer Klowns generated a porn parody.

[@ScreamingScallop]

@Lebo leigh Leigh Not the Killer Klown porn, no. I've seen the faces on the cover and that's enough. THE FACES!

[@Destroya7961]

Despite how ridiculous this films title is there is one movie that has it beat three ways from Sunday in that category and that is Santa Claus Conquers The Martians no seriously look it up it’s a real movie

[@BigGator5]

This movie is insane. It's great.

[@imunchienandalusia]

[@FutureBoyEXE]

Thumbs up if you're watching this after the KKfOS video game announcement

[@thomaskphillips2582]

This and Alien were the first movies to ever scare me. I watched this when a neighbor of ours was "watching me" and left me with this on the tv to watch. I was probably 5,6,7? Terrible babysitter.
