HMM '13: Killer Klowns From Outer Space

It's October!  The doorway to not only the start of the greatest food season (early October to Christmas), but also to sexy nurses, zombies, and grown men dressing up like ponies.  That also means it is time once again for Halloween Movie Madness!  This year, I'll be taking a look back at the movies of my youth.  Every movie this year was released before I turned eighteen.  These are the Halloween movies that shaped me into the man I am today.  Some of them are scary.  Some are funny.  Some are fantastical.  Some are just weird.  And not all of them are good.  But to me, they are all Halloween movies.  Now, stand back, for your own safety!

Much like Critters before it, Killer Klowns From Outer Space is a movie that freaked me out big time when I was little, but have since come to see the movie for the cheese fest that it is.

As you can probably tell from the title, this movie is about the evil alien Klowns who come to Earth to feed on humans.  They take people, cocoon them in cotton candy, and then drink them, much like a spider does.

I'm trying to figure out how I ended up with three movies this year that have this guy in them.

This movie features death by acid pie, a killer puppet show, a klown hiding in a pizza box, decapitation by a punch, human puppets, and even a thirty foot tall klown.  There is a lot of other awesomely cheesy stuff too, but those are some of my favorite moments.


If you don't have an overwhelmingly bad fear of clowns, and want to watch something that is both humorous and clever, you should check this one out.
