What fun this movie is! A wonderful, imaginative spoof of the 50s creature movies, namely "The Blob", this is much more comedy than horror.



Who doesn't think clowns are creepy? These clowns, however (which are actually aliens) are too funny-looking to be creepy. I couldn't help but laugh every time one of them appeared. Especially the one dubbed "Fatso", who's a big, waddling blob of clown. The plot is pretty simple: a tent-shaped spaceship lands in a town one night, letting loose a group of silly-looking alien clowns that feed on the citizens. Actually, they turn them into cotton candy and store them on board their space ship for future consumption. The requisite teenage couple stumbles upon these happenings and become the heroes of the movie, along with a cop who conveniently used to date our heroine.



The DVD is filled with fun extras, including commentary by the trio of Chiodo brothers who wrote, produced, and directed the film. Also featured are spots on how the special effects, music, and other things were done, so you get a mini lesson in filmmaking also.



If you love cult or campy movies, you can't miss this one!
