We never thought we'd see a film chosen by guest Bob Kerr we'd actually enjoy. But honest to Peter, Killer Klowns From Outer Space is so quirky and daffy it defies logic and we liked it, we genuinely liked it. We love all our podcasts with Bob, but this just might be our favourite.

It's a trip back to a fan-favorite attraction that many longtime Disney fans still remember fondly.To wrap up the episode, it's time for **Mike's Munchies** as Mike heads over to **Das Stakehaus** at Universal's Epic Universe to sink his teeth into one of the park's most unique dining experiences. Luckily for Mike, Remy's employee discount came to the rescue, making the bill much cheaper than expected—and proving that good food tastes even better when you're saving money!So whether you're here for nostalgic Disney attractions, terrifying vampires and Killer Klowns, delicious food, or a little aviation history, this episode has something for every theme park fan.**Sit back, relax, and enjoy some throwbacks, some vampires, and of course... some airplanes.

This week on PT Nerd, we're talking about Killer Klowns from Outer Space — one of the weirdest cult classics to come out of the 80s.Alien clowns, cotton candy cocoons, popcorn guns… this movie is ridiculous in the best possible way. It's weird, cheesy, creative, and somehow still a blast to watch.But does Killer Klowns from Outer Space still hold up, or is it just nostalgic chaos?I break down what worked, what didn't, and why this movie has built such a loyal cult following.If you love weird horror, practical effects, and unforgettable creature design, this episode is for you.
Welcome back to the Horror Project Podcast!This week, Laura and Phil take on the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988). When teens(!?) Mike and Debbie witness a comet crash near their small town, they uncover a bizarre invasion—aliens disguised as sinister circus clowns. Unsurprisingly, no one believes them.It's a first-time watch for both hosts, so we're asking: is this a hidden gem or one we've somehow managed to avoid for good reason?We chat about the unforgettable clown designs, the inventive practical effects, the strange antics of the Terenzi brothers, and even a touch of small-town romance thrown into the chaos. Plus, we compare these killer clowns to other iconic horror favourites.Thanks for listening!Email - Horrorprojectpodcast@hotmail.com Instagram - horrorprojectpodcastTikTok - @horrorprojectpodcastSay Hi - Send The Horror Project a Message!

Listener submitted movies! Tom and Dave dive headfirst into the absolute trash fire of C.H.U.D., House (1985), and Killer Klowns from Outer Space. A triple feature held together by slime, cotton candy, and other questionable substances. Between sewer freaks, haunted chaos-daddies, and homicidal clowns serving ball shaped cocoons, T&D are bickering, cackling, and dragging every moment like it personally offended them. It's loud, it's messy, it's a little bit feral—and honestly, whoever submitted this understood the assignment.
Bart Mixon was Born in Houston, Texas, Mixon began his special make-up effects career working on local independent productions, including the 1984 thriller Courage, starring, co-written and produced by Ronny Cox. He eventually became a make-up lab technician and on-set makeup artist on more high profile productions, including A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985), The Supernaturals (1986) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986). Perhaps more notably, he worked on The Terminator (1984) and was part of the "Robot Team" on RoboCop (1987). In 1987, Mixon moved to Los Angeles, California, where he supervised special make-up and creature effects for such projects as Fright Night Part 2 (1988), Pet Sematary (1989), Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990), Predator 2 (1990) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1992). He was also the creature effects supervisor on Stephen King's It (1990); as such, he was responsible for designing, sculpting and applying the make-up for the Pennywise character. After working on the Klownzilla hands on Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988), Bart worked with the Chiodo Bros. once again as the Shop Foreman during the production of Ernest Scared Stupid (1991) where he supervised the creation of the trolls! He returned to do makeup FX work on Pet Sematary Two (1992). In 1994, Mixon entered into a partnership with fellow Star Trek make-up artist Earl Ellis to create the make-up effects studio Mixon & Ellis FX (or ME FX). Over the next four years, the studio created make-up and prosthetics for such films as Fargo (1996), Men in Black (1997) and Rushmore (1998). Mixon closed down the studio in 1998 and has since worked as a freelance artist on films such as How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), Planet of the Apes (2001), Men in Black II (2002), The Ring (2002), Hellboy (2004) and Collateral (2004). Mixon also was the prosthetic make-up artist for The Thing on Fantastic Four (2005) and Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). He was also a key prosthetic artist on X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) and was a make-up artist on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006). In addition, he worked on the Academy Award-nominated prosthetic make-up for Norbit (2007).

My next short, “The Dinner” has approved for crowdfunding at Seed&Spark! Check out the link here to learn how you can be a part of the film. Since I'm building my podcast studio, I've decided to unearth some old interviews and release them unedited. The Chiodo Bro's were interviewed on June 23, 2020 and it truly was a lot of fun. Like a lot of people in their 40's and older, I grew up watching “Klowns,” “Ernest Scared Stupid” and “Critters,” so this was like interviewing my childhood icons. The brothers talk in-depth about the history of the Klowns, and where all their inspirations come from. I had a lot of technical difficulties recording this episode, so I had to hack out the first 10 mins, but eventually it all worked out. At the time, there was no talk about a “KIller Klowns” reboot or sequel. So some of the information which is stated has changed. If you're not doing so already, please like and follow Classic American Movies on Instagram and Facebook. I do free movie giveaways, mini movie reviews and more! Also, I decided to dabble in making my own slasher film called “Bishop's Day”. Check out the Instagram page for updates.

This week, we're going to the circus with 1988's "Killer Klowns From Outer Space." We talk about the Chiodo Brothers' vision, John Vernon's genius, the movie's showcase of practical effects and more reasons why we love this one-of-a-kind cult classic. Listen now.
Where does our DeLorean take us this week? It's our long over due revisit of the Chiodo Brothers 1988 classic, Killer Klowns from Outer Space. It's our Halloween episode for 2025.

Send us a textThe third and final part of our HUGtober season of Halloween podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are going full B-movie with 1988's wonderfully named, and suitably ridiculous, Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Is this another 50's style throwback in the vain of the truly brilliant, The Blob remake from same year, or is this little more than a great title masquerading as an actual movie?

It IS Halloween! This spooky season Andy chats with Killer Klowns movie composer John Massari! John talks about adapting the Klowns score to a live to film concert, music education in the 70s, and his love for vintage synthesizers. John has some juicy behind the scenes stories while working on the music for B-movies like the Snake Eater Trilogy, Retro Puppet Master and Kickboxer 5. They also chat about how music production has changed over the years, scoring mobisodes, and being a kid on Halloween during the Cuban missile crisis. And to keep things Halloweeny, Andy is joined by Mike Mendoza to, sort of, talk about Halloween stuff.

I'm back with my first episode in quite a while! Be gentle! I'm rusty!
The campiness and cheesiness of the 80s and & 90s are on full display in the two movies we saw this week: The Blob (1988) and Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988). Both appear to be made on a shoestring budget, with unseasoned actors. And that is why we love them. Or at least some of us do. Let us know what you think?

PG and I had the chance to sit down with a super credited composer, one who even scored the iconic Killer Klowns from Outer Space, the one and only John Massari. We had a chance to talk a bit about his background, and the journey he took in his career, as well as talk about the whole development of Killer Klowns, and how we will be seeing him at the upcoming Happy Fright Film Fest at the Ventura Theater on Friday through Sunday, October 17-19.
This week we're looking at the arch-cult film from 1988, Killer Klowns From Outer Space. Its released was botched entirely by the distributor who were almost deliberately defiant in their unwillingness to screen the movie on much more than a few screens. It found its legs on cable and VHS where it was an instant hit and went on to launch a merchandising empire culminating in a video game and one of Universal Studios' most popular attractions at Halloween Horror Nights.When a UFO that looks an awful lot like a circus tent lands in Crescent Cove and aliens that look an awful lot like circus clowns wander into town with murder and mayhem in mind its up to a local cop, his ex-girlfriend, and her manchild boyfriend to stop them in their tracks and save Crescent Cove. Directed by the Chiodo Brothers, who were known for ambitious special effects, stop motion animation, and puppetry with credits under their belt like Elf, Critters, and Pee Wee's Big Adventure, it's a send up of 50's alien invasion movies with a plot that's almost one-to-one for the classic 1958 film, The Blob. We love it. You love it. Let's love it together.

This week, we're diving into one of the weirdest invasions ever committed to celluloid: Killer Klowns from Outer Space. When a group of extraterrestrial circus clowns land in a small town, they don't come in peace... unless “peace” involves cotton candy cocoons, shadow puppet executions, and balloon animal bloodhounds. Topics include: how the Chiodo Brothers' low-budget labor of love turned into a cult phenomenon, why the clown aesthetic is so effective (and so unsettling), and how this movie manages to be both a parody of '50s B-movies and an earnest entry in the horror-comedy canon. Along the way, we talk creature effects, missed sequel opportunities, and more!

Synopsis In a quiet town, where the stars are shining and the street youths are just beginning a wild night of tomfoolery, a meteor falls from the sky. Landing in a farmer's yard, people begin to investigate the crash, only to find a large and otherworldly circus tent. Everyone gets a little more clown than they bargained for, and the occupants of this circus tent start a menacing rampage on the town. Will the police stop them? Will the sexy young college couple stop them? Will the ice cream man stop them? Review of Killer Klowns From Outer Space Killer Klowns from Outer Space has long been one of my favorite horror movies. It's low budget and very over the top, but I find it charming and entertaining to watch clowns wrap people in cotton candy cocoons that burn their flesh off. The movie stays fresh for me as every scene depicts the clowns using some new form of weapon that looks like a sundry clown paraphernalia. I like the characters, especially the two young dudes trying to get girls by selling ice cream, and the boyfriend and ex-boyfriend of Debbie, who both seem to be dating her at the same time, at moments in this film. However, the true bow that ties this movie together is the clowns. They have a really unique design and they border the line of over-the-top silliness and menace that gives me the creeps in a good way. Score 10/10
