“To some, clowns are such a frightening species that they might as well be killers — and seeing as how most of them defy explanation, they may as well be from Outer Space. Always ones to keep their fingers on the pulse of the reigning cinematic zeitgeist, the Downtown Independent embraces the bizarre world of clowns, and the idea that they could easily occupy the roles of both murderers and aliens, by screening the Chiodo Brothers' 1988 sleeper, Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Equal parts comedy, horror, and camp classic, the film is the brainchild of a trio of brothers and special-effects artists, one of whom (Stephen Chiodo) makes a special appearance tonight.”

Mondo Mondays presents:
KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE
dir. Stephen Chiodo
1988, 35mm, color, 88 min
Director Stephen Chiodo in person
A small town is invaded by aliens from outer space that appear and behave like clowns. As townspeople begin to disappear and the police dismiss the several distressed phone calls depicting clowns running amuck, a band of teenagers take matters into their own hands. Armed with nothing but an ice cream truck and their youthful spirits, they enter the big ring for an interspecies face-off.
