#funny klowns with their little human

[cookietrains]

FEAR NOT - They're not abducting human for a cotton candy fate! They say they know a great hot dog spot ^u^

... * The hot dog spot in question is just Spikey in his Hot Diggity Dog attire💀

It gets even worse BETTER when Spikey leans in like: "OH, And here comes dessert ❤️"

...* Rudy comes out in his Sundaze outfit💀⚰️

Don't be suspicious.

A funny idea to me is that the Klowns tried to be a little low-key at first only to realize that humans are dumb as bricks in this movie, so they stop bothering.

[bone-honey]

Oh boy, I'm so excited to ask! What are your head cannons for the Klowns courting their human S/O? Like how would they approach it?

My first ask! Thank you! ☺️🎉

First thing’s first: These aliens aren’t actually very alien, they’re just very clowny, so a lot of their expressions do end up being very similar to ours… just in a silly or funny way. (With a tad of that literally blood thirsty maliciousness on occasion.)

Gifting flowers are definitely a thing for them, and not always in a malicious fashion like Jumbo did with that appalling cop I can’t be bothered to remember the name of rn 💀

If, and only when and if you accept their advances, would they gift you tech that could defend you. They’re comical, but they definitely aren’t dumb. They’re not gifting tech to just anyone.

I can definitely see them sharing candy, and depending on which one were talking about, they either get real shy when you take it and run away or they take pride in the fact that you like the type or flavor they gifted you. Some may even want to hand feed you, so try not to take offense and feel like they’re treating you like a child.

If they see you wearing a color a lot, they’ll consider it “your color” and will incorporate it into their look in some way. (Not their ‘face paint’ though, mostly because my personal headcanons on how that works for them.)

The ones that know how to speak human languages will actually try and flirt it up a little bit, but for the most part they’re all capable of a word or two, and will give you a sweet little nickname. (It’s highly likely to be flower influenced, though I can see sugar, sweets, or even candy.)

They’re exaggerated movements can oftentimes make them seem slightly sarcastic, but they have a flair for the dramatic, committing to the bit and all that, so big bows in greeting and kisses to the hand and blowing you kisses and winking.

The more assholish ones definitely pull little pranks to catch your attention, but as apposed to what we all know they’re fully capable of, the things they do to you are harmless.

If they leave you notes, I swear to god they look like ransom notes. I shit you not, some of them have decent handwriting, but the ones that can’t write will legit tear words out of news papers and glue them to a note.

K here is a scary one. Unfortinately Halloween is over. Whatever. MC and and her brother pull a prank on the datables and brothers. MC suggest they should watch a supposedly haunted copy of Terrifier (2016). While the end credits start to roll after the ending the brother comes into the room dressed as Art the klown. Let's say that the brother looks exactly like him in costume. Boys reactions to the movie and to the prank.

Hi! Halloween is not over unless you want it to be ♡ I tried going to the family dinner in a halloween-inspired outfit last week. Anyways, on with the request, I hope you like it

mc and their brother prank the obey me cast

mc's gender is not mentioned, not proof read

a/n: I didn't watch the movie but according to the summary on wikipedia, it has a lot of gore scenes (it's really bad according to me). Maybe don't watch this if you're like me and cry at the sight of blood. Also, no Luke in this because this movie isn't child-friendly.

content warnings: pranking, mentions of gore, mentions/implication of vomiting

-----

Lucifer

horror movies don't affect him too much, he knows it's fake and is the type of dude who could fall asleep while the characters on the screen are screaming

so, when he saw your brother in the clown costume, lucifer didn't really bat an eye

'very funny, now take the costume off, Diavolo is here'

Mammon

mammon can't handle horror very well, but he acts like he does to look cool (nobody buys it)

after the movie was over, he declared that it wasn't scary at all, and nobody would ever be spooked by it

however when your brother showed up, mammon screeched and ran out of the room, climbing over levi and belphie on the couch and knocking over two vases in the process

Leviathan

levi enjoys horror, and it does scare him but it's the kind of fear you'd feel after the bread comes out of the toaster with jumpscares (you're scared for 2 seconds only before realising it's just bread)

still, he'd like it more if the movie was animated, partly because the gore will not be realistic anymore

levi felt the same toaster-fear after seeing your brother in the clown costume

Satan

he honestly wanted to see more plot in the movie, but neither horror or gore disturb him too much

satan didn't even notice your brother walked in dressed as the clown until he heard mammon scream and a vase breaking

it didn't scare him, and honestly, his experience pranking lucifer made him think the prank was predictable

Asmodeus

asmo can enjoy some good horror movies, but this doesn't count for straight up slasher films, he feels like he has to sit in a bath for hours afterwards despite being a demon

when he sees your brother, he screams a little before getting mad at him for the petty joke

he's going to do some research on future movie night films

Beelzebub

beel loves watching movies because of the food that will be present, but he felt a little bit uneasy eating while something like this was playing on the screen

the prank didn't scare him, he was enjoying some candy bar and that deserved more of his attention than a dude in a clown costume

beel asks you if you're okay after everything, what if the movie was too much for a human to handle?

Belphegor

he fell asleep right at the start of the movie, abd woke up during some violent scene in the middle

so it's this kind of movie? well, belphie's going straight back to sleep

also he would have slept through the prank if only it didn't cause a chaos, he just woke up and squinted his eyes to see what's happening

Diavolo

this man is always so happy to watch movies with everyone, but this is one of the cases where he goes in smiling and cones out questioning why he came

so these are human world movies? interesting to know

the prank didn't really scare him, if it did, it would have been like levi's toaster-fear, diavolo appreciates the effort but thinks it's not funny

Barbatos

to be honest, he's pretty disappointed

you got the whole devildom prince sitting here and this is the kind of quality of movie you decide to show him? and personally barbatos prefers films with more plot

the prank was the final blow he needed to leave, he made up some work related excuse and left

Simeon

he's never been happier with his choice to not bring luke to this movie night

simeon can handle horror and gore normally, but he had to look away from some scenes in this film for the sake of the food he just ate

and honestly, he too could see the prank coming

Solomon

solomon is kind of the same as simeon, though his tolerance for highly violent scenes is higher than the angel's

and the prank itself wasn't all too funny to him

the funniest parts to solomon were mammon's escape act, barbatos awkwardly leaving and asmo's yelling at your brother

The Killer Klowns from Outer Space; An Essay and Review of the BIZZARE, but FANTASTIC 1988 Classic

Pizza? No, klowns. On May 27th, 1988, Stephen Chiodo unleashed the killer klowns from outer space, a bizarre story of two lovers and some of their friends battling the clowns, and trying to stop their siege of their small town. Where do these clowns come from you may ask? Well, outer space of course. What do they want? Well, it’s hard to say. They abduct humans and…drink their blood?? All else that can be said about them is they’re scary and come armed with many fun weapons, including balloon dogs, popcorn, and an iconic cotton candy gun, which they use to abduct their victims.

The film stars Grant Cramer as Mike Tobacco, Suzanna Synder as Debbie Stone, and John Allen Nelson as Dave Hanson, which round out our main cast, Mike and Debbie being our couple, and Dave being Debbi’s ex, although a cool one. The film also has a list of side characters that are either hilarious or make up for some awesome kills…or scary moments. Peter Licassi, who plays Paul, and Michael Siegel, who plays Rich are the town's odd and a bit dumb ice cream guys, who drive around in a ridiculous, although funny truck. They make up for some funny comic relief. John Vernon plays hardass, ball-busting cop Curtis Mooney, who doesn’t seem to love our protagonist, and also doesn’t believe in the Klown invasion, which pretty much seals his demise, and probably didn’t help the town’s chances. He also has a pretty cool death, which also delivers one of the film's more creepy moments when Mike comes into the police station to find one of the clowns using him as a ventriloquist doll. It’s quite unsettling. Also, who can forget another one of the movie’s most unsettling moments where a little girl, played by actress Claire Bartle is lured away from her parents by one of the clowns, likely to be killed. It’s one of the film's most unsettling scenes, right up there with the ventriloquist scene. Although on the topic of cool and fun kills, the shadow puppet kill, where one of our star clowns shows off some of his shadow puppet skills to a group of normal citizens, and in the end, uses his skills to make a monster puppet that eats them in an awesome scene. “What are you gonna do? Knock my block off?”…famous last words for Michael Halton’s biker character, who gets his head punched off by one of the film's most iconic klowns, Shorty. What about Karla Sue Krull, who has a small scene as Tracy and again, one of the film's most iconic moments, when she opens the door to a knock and is welcomed by clowns, and as soon as she asks “pizza”, she learns this is no normal pizza delivery, as she’s zapped into cotton candy. Now, what are you gonna do with those pies boys? Another bit of famous last words from a carnival security guard, played by actor David Piel, who witnesses loads of klowns getting out of a clown car, and after asking his iconic question is pied to death, by……ACIDIC PIES!?

These klowns mean business. Although, so does the ending. After maneuvering their way through the town, our characters wind up at a carnival, ready to take on the klowns and destroy them once and for all. Although the klowns won’t make it easy on them, as they must run through a gauntlet of creative carnival sections like colorful swinging door frames, through monster's mouths, down a fire station poll, nearly into a monster's mouth, and the killer klowns cotton candy factory or storage, etc. The finale takes place in a big arena with the king (or queen) Klown, Klownzilla, or Jojo. When it appears, in its monstrous size, the other klowns seem to back away in fear as if it is some form of leader, and the battle begins. After dodging its attacks, attempted gunshots, and a fakeout death of the two ice cream truckers…because the truck was a rental or whatever, Mike and Debbie make it out alive, with Dave staying back to finish off the massive final boss of a klown. After it’s got Dave in its grips, just when we think it’s over for him, he removes his police badge to give it one fatal blow to the nose, causing it to spin out of control, and explode. Now, us, Mike, and Debbie thinking he, and the two ice cream truck drivers, Paul and Rich are dead, in comes a klown car hurling in from the skies, and its…DAVE, RICH, AND PAUL!? Yes, they’re alive. It’s an all-in-one, fun reunion, with some funny stuff from Paul and Rich and a tear-jerking reunion of Dave, Mike, and Debbie. The Klowns ship, however, isn’t so alive, as it explodes in midair, and at first calmly rains down…cotton candy? Popcorn? Who knows. Debbie asks the one important question though…is it over? Mike answers as any person who experienced this would…I don’t know. Until pies hail down from the sky, pieing them all in the face, with the classic tune Killer Klowns from Outer Space by The Dickies, for a funny and classic ending to this bizarre, pretty scary, funny, and crazy journey, and film/movie we call Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

Some special groups I wanted to mention are the fantastic set designers, costume designers, stunt men, actors, actresses, for the normal people, and the killer wacky klowns, the fantastic performances given by our lead and supporting cast of actors and actresses, the special effects team, etc.

Also, almost forgot to mention…who are the main klowns? Well, you got Jumbo, Fatso, Shorty, Rudy, Spikey, Slim, Bibbo, Chubby, and last, but certainly not least…Klownzilla…or Jojo. There are obviously other klowns too, too many to name, but all are masterfully designed with their own unique quirks and looks. Lastly, what’s their weakness? Well, as I said earlier…a simple blow to the nose. Yep. And they spin around a bit till they explode. Quite a good way to kill them, pretty creative, and really funny actually.

So…that is Killer Klowns from Outer Space. What are your thoughts? When did you first see Killer Klowns? Did you like it or dislike it? Let us know.

Here Are Dr. Rammstein's Other 13 (Honorable Mentions):

These are film that didn’t make it on the official countdown but are just as good or perfect alternatives from the recommendations listed for the countdown.

Scanners, 1981 (dir. David Cronenberg):

 A man discovers that he isn’t the only one with a strange gift of telepathy and finds that some of these other “scanners” as they’re called, believe that they are superior in the human race and strive for total world. takeover.

 With telepathy and head-bursting special effects, this Canadian Sc-fi horror will be sure to have you on the edge of your seat.

2. Jigsaw, 2017 (dir. Micheal Spierig, Peter Spierig):

Police are baffled when victims of a twisted game that can only come from one man, John Kramer (Tobin Bell) the Jigsaw Killer. One problem, he’s been dead for over a decade.

I find people are way to hard on this film as it’s just as good as the ones that came before it, and Logen (matt Passmore) is just a worthy of an apprentice as the ones that we met before him. Plus, the traps, as well as they might be cartoonish, are pretty neat.

3. Killer Klowns from Outer Space, 1988 (dir. Stephen Chiodo):

A gang of aliens disguised as clowns wreak havoc on an unsuspecting town.

This is a pretty fun movie if you are looking for something silly to watch. The effects and vibe are totally 80s and the looks for the clowns are pretty iconic if you ask me.

4.All Hallows’ Eve, 2016 (Damien Leone)

A babysitter stumbles upon a videotape while checking the kids she’s watching candy bags on Halloween night and decides take a look on what’s on it.

Speaking of clowns, since the new Terrifer is out and everyone seems to be having Art the Clown fever (though he actually terrifies me!) I thought it be fair to include this entry of where it all started. Very found footage, but does not fall short on the gore as it’s later projects would promise for.

5. Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, 1998 (dir. Jim Stenstrum, Kazumi Fukushima)

The iconic Mystery Inc. crew run into each other once again after finding themselves on separate paths and now see themselves going up against ghost pirates, cat people, witchcraft and zombies of course!

There is really no dispute that this is one of the  best Scooby Doo movies out there. Seriously the animation is so smooth and the soundtrack is just to die for!

6. Willard, 1971 (dir. Daniel Mann):

A young loner befriends a couple of rats and finds them being his only companions, so much so that he brings them to work with him. There his co workers and boss not only torment him, but that just so happen to kill one of his pet rats and now the rest of his little rodent friends are out for blood.

This film just a weird, yet such a charming horror flick that doesn’t rely on buckets full and buckets full of blood to put up some good scares.

7. Night of the Living Dead, 1968 (dir. George A. Romero)

A group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse fight to survive from the horde of flesh eating undead that waits for them outside.

Who doesn’t love zombie movies? And there’s nothing wrong with an old classic that has great social commentary.

8. The Hills Have Eyes, 1977 (dir. Wes Craven)

A family’s RV breaks down in the middle of desert where unknown to them, a horde of mutant hungry cannibals await them.

This film is just top scare factor right here and you can’t go wrong with 70s Craven flicks at all.

(I have no idea why this picture came out so small, but I ain't fixing it, it's kind of funny to me)

9. Christine, 1983 (dir. John Carpenter)

A young Arnie Cunningham works day and night rebuilding the car of his dreams, with a few physical changes here and there, his friends and family find him completely transform from a outcasted nerd, to a top notch Fozzie kind of guy, a ever since she found his car, dubbed Christine; however, some of his love ones can’t help but feel that his car is just more that a car.

This film is just great from everything to the costumes, the car itself and even the soundtrack. Plus, a young Keith Gordon, yum!

10. Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark, 1988 (dir. James Signorelli)

After her car breaks down in a small town that has mixed reactions upon seeing her, Elvira makes the most out her situations and that include the hot guy that works at the local theater, helping boarding the youth’s perspectives, inheriting a house and dealing with her uncle Vincent who just so happens to be an evil warlock.

From epic puns and one-liners, to finding yourself falling in love with the darkness herself this flick will sure make your bones quiver and you yourself cackle like a witch.

Richard Elfman on his new bizarro comedy - Aliens, Clowns & Geeks

By Staci Layne Wilson

When it comes to cult science fiction movies, Forbidden Zone stands tall. Richard Elfman's 1980 Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo vehicle was a one-of-a-kind film zooming down on a one-way street to a whacky conclusion that’s stayed in the minds of schlock cinema fans ever since. His latest film, Aliens, Clowns & Geeks is an equally wild and expressionistic indie featuring Austin Powers' Verne Troyer in his last role, promising that Aliens, Clowns & Geeks is the antidote to mainstream and a breakneck cure for the run-of-the-mill.

“I was fortunate to have my dream cast on this one, including Verne Troyer (Mini-Me) as my demonic clown emperor–his final film role,” says Elfman. “Our ninety-minute film has seventy-five minutes of driving music by my brother Danny (Elfman) and acclaimed animation composer, Ego Plum Guerrero. Along with Danny’s to-die-for clown and alien music, Ego added a Latin element with the band we play with, Mambo Demonico.” The score was composed by Danny Elfman, who wrote the theme song to The Simpsons, the music to The Nightmare Before Christmas and did the singing voice of Jack Skellington, and won six Saturn awards.

"Eddy Pine (Bodhi Elfman) is a jaded actor dealing with the cancellation of his series," reads the official synopsis. "To complicate matters, he wakes up with the key to the universe stuck up his ass. Apparently an alien Clown Emperor (Verne Troyer) is in hot pursuit of this, as are his rivals, the Green Aliens. Professor von Scheisenberg (French Stewart) and his comely Swedish assistants, the Svenson sisters (Rebecca Forsythe as Helga, Angeline-Rose Troy as Inga), come to Eddy’s aid. If only Eddy hadn’t fallen for Helga, and then the aliens manipulate his mind to confuse her with Inga! And when the mad little Clown Captain (Martin Klebba) steps on the gas and shifts his spaceship into fourth gear, all hell breaks loose.”

We had the opportunity to sit down with Richard to ask him about his movie.

Q. To what do you attribute your enduring interest in clowns? And why do you think they’re so fascinating to people in general?

As I’ve always said: “To be born a male redhead is to be born into a clown suit.” Hence my carrot-topped brother Danny and I have always had a fascination with clowns. Coupled with our wicked sense of humor and a love of the horror genre, it was an easy morph into thoughts of creepy clowns. Just like dolls and puppets—yes, I’m speaking Anabelle—clowns can have something “surreal” about them.  Bill Skarsgard’s Pennywise really nails it. And I laughed my head off at Killer Klowns From Outer Space. (And we have honk-honking shit-load of killer clowns in my new film).

Q. How did the idea for Aliens, Clowns & Geeks come about? Is it similar to The Forbidden Zone?

 Joined-at-the-hip. Yes. And no. Forbidden Zone is basically a surrealistic “human-cartoon” set to musical numbers. So I was working on Forbidden Zone 2, a thematic extension of FZ but on a much grander scale. I did a successful crowd-funder to develop the project, then, with the help of my producers, raised about half the budget. They asked me if we could do something quick (and cheaper) in the interim to keep the momentum going.

So I basically locked myself in my roof-top writing garret with a box of cigars and many bottles of whiskey and banged out my Geeks script over the next three weeks.

Geeks is utterly zany and music-driven, but it’s not a “singing musical” so to speak like FZ. It has surrealistic elements, thanks to my insane special effects department--and a little help from Hieronymus Bosch—but I would describe Geeks having cartoony elements rather than being a total “human cartoon” as FZ was…if that makes any sense. (And please don’t try!)

 Q. Tell us about the multiple roles played by your family – and do you have role as well? What was it like working with your family – any funny stories?

My son Bodhi Elfman—a serious dramatic actor with 100s of credits--did a great comic turn as Eddy, the lead; a bitter out of work actor who wakes up with the key to the universe stuck up his ass. He also played the ass-kissing clown (literally) on the space ship plus the green alien network executive who orders the destruction of Earth. My wife Anastasia played multiple roles, everything from a nun to a carny slut. She also danced and choreographed the cabaret burlesque numbers as well as played a clown…until she got sick from the chemicals inside the clown mask and had to throw up—after we got the shot, of course--committed trouper that she is. When I met Anastasia she was a ballet dancer with a “day job” at a horror fx shop. She can dance with a broken toe but seems to have developed a sensitivity to certain shop chemicals.

I played a clown as well and almost threw up from laughing. I must say Geeks was a fun show to work on (my greatest joy is creating a sense of fun) and the actors and crew had serious trouble keeping from laughing as I directed in insane clown attire. What a fucking visual!

And brother Danny—what can I say? As an independent (hence lower budget) film maker it helps when your little brother in Mozart.

Q. Tell us how you ran away and joined the circus.

Actually, The Grande Magic Circus--a French musical theatre company. 1971, I was twenty-one, visiting the Festival of New Theatre in Montreal. I ran into a scruffy Parisian street troupe. They had something though, a charisma, an élan, whatever-- it attracted me. Director Jérôme Savary needed a percussionist—et voila, that was me! I persuaded them to give me several minutes onstage at the festival doing my comedy/horror piece set to an Eric Satie’s Gnossienne. When I “killed” the pianist in a pool of blood the audience was shocked. And they loved it!

Then, back in California, I went to see Marcel Carne’s masterpiece Les Enfant de Paradise , a three hour film set in the Paris theatre scene of the 1830’s. I exited the theatre, stopped, turned around and went back in and saw it again.

A few months later I received a letter from Jerome. Peter Brook, famed director of London’s Royal Shakespeare Company was backing the Magic Circus in a large Paris theatre. Would I like to join them? Bloody hell!! Hence, I ran away and joined the “circus.”

Q. Tell us something about your time with the Magic Circus, how it influenced you and also how your brother Danny Elfman joined the show.

I might say that working with Jérôme Savary was perhaps my single greatest influence. The troupe had classically trained actors from the Comedie Francais as well as more Avant guard performers. Jerome was a genius, his material had a sense of Absurdism that really struck me. I would later develop this absurdism in my own fashion. Certainly with my own troupe, the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo (later Oingo Boingo). By the way, my film Forbidden Zone was essentially our Mystic Knights stage show set to film.

Danny—several days out of high school--showed up at my 5ème, Rue Descartes doorstep with his electric violin. The company violinist was from the Paris Opera. Jerome liked to improvise. The opera guy couldn’t deviate one note from the written score. I believe my brother is Mozart reincarnated. He could follow any improvisation and got the job and toured with us for the summer throughout France. He and I opened the show with him on violin, me on percussion—the first music Danny Elfman ever wrote.

Q. Any other interesting experiences that you and Danny had there?

We were in a Basque town near the Spanish border. If I may digress, I am four years Danny’s senior. I went to a high school in Crenshaw (Boyz in the Hood), Danny ended up at a school with no guns. I was a tough boxer. Danny might be described as a bespectacled science nerd. So it’s Friday night, the audience was really rowdy and restless. My “street sense” knew it was just a matter of time before the fights broke out. We had an Argentine fellow in the troupe, “Katshurro,” nicest fellow. Drunks in the audience picked up on his accent and shouted terrible Spanish insults about his mother. Katshurro stopped mid-performance, his eyes bugging out of head, and he dove right into the audience swinging away. All hell broke loose. Everyone was fighting, sets crashing down. Danny’s glasses got knocked off. Well, and not for the first time, I managed to get Danny out of trouble with both his glasses and violin intact.

Q. Tell us about the cast you assembled – which includes Verne Troyer in his final screen performance. What was he like? Who does he play in the film?

I really had my dream cast. Along with my son Bodhi we had lovely kung-fu kicking Rebecca Forsythe, versatile Angeline-Rose Troy who not only played Rebecca’s sexy Swedish sister, but donned prosthetics to play poor Eddy’s junkie/whore “Mom from Hell.”

Professor von Scheisenberg was played impeccable veteran French Stewart (Third Rock From the Sun). Another great vet was George Wendt (Cheers) as Father Mahoney. Six foot six comic Steve Agee (Sarah Silverman Show, Guardians of the Galaxy) played both a tough cross-dressing bar owner and a stuttering dufis in a chicken suit. Nic Novicki (Boardwalk Empire) played his nasty little-person boss. I was really blessed with a great ensemble to work with.

And, of course, Verne Troyer, our megalomaniac Clown Emperor. What a wonderful talent to work with! He was funny on set, insisted on doing things in spite of physical limitations and he gave us hilarious comic improvisations. Little body. Big spirit. I will certainly miss him.

Q. The music is by Danny and you also have great animation… please give us some details what it’s like to create worlds through music and manufactured imagery.

Danny, along with my band mate--award winning animation composer Ego Plum (Guerrero)—really gave it to us. Seventy-five minutes of music in a ninety-minute film. ♪ ♫ La, tee-da and a boom boom boom! ♪ ♫  Music is essential to everything I do—especially setting the tone of my films. I even play music before I start writing.

As soon as Danny saw our surrealistic Bosch dream sequence and goofy clown rocket ships he agreed to do the score…after he stopped laughing. I play percussion in a quirky Latin band, Mambo Demonico, led by Hollywood’s top tv animation composer, Ego Plum. He and Danny work with the same people, including Oingo Boingo lead guitarist Steve Bartek, who subsequently has done every one of Danny’s film arrangements. Steve and the original Oingo Boingo members all played on our sound track. I must brag that we do have great fucking music!

You know, Danny was a bespectacled science nerd growing up, basically stayed out of trouble. That was my department. Oddly, he wasn’t really into music. No bands, no concerts, no big music collection. Life is funny how things turned out. I showed him a rough cut of Geeks, he laughed his ass off and offered to do it. Yes, I’m very lucky to have “Mozart” as my little brother!

Q. Who is Aliens, Clowns & Geeks for? Do you think movies like this are more likely to find a mainstream audience?

Forbidden Zone may be a “cult” movie but it still plays all over the world--after forty years. Just this past month FZ played festivals in France and South Korea. Geeks is certainly not for everyone—no one falls in love then dies of cancer. But it will find an audience I am sure. Anyone who had fun with Killer Klowns From Outer Space, liked Rocky Horror, even What We Do in the Shadows in terms of a quirky, wicked sense of humor. I also think it will play well in mental asylums…it certainly shall send people there in any case.

Geeks doesn’t fit into the scheme of “modern films.” Actually, the shooting style and underlying three-act story structure harkens back to classic comedies (says the son of a former English teacher turned novelist). The trappings though, are insane and off-the-wall. You might say it’s just my own, goony creation. Love it or hate it, the humor is balls-out outrageous, definitely not for everyone--no one dies of cancer. Geeks is simply meant to be fun for essentially the genre audience.

Q. What’s your proudest moment associated with making the film?

Proudest moment? Maybe finally paying the actors. People say I’ve embraced the indie spirit. I don’t know how much I “embrace” it, so much as am fucked by it, having to work on such a modest budget. Although I’ve been a “hired gun” and directed scripts written by others, Geeks is really the first time since my 1980 Forbidden Zone that I’ve really done purely my own vision. Per John Waters, well, I’d hope he’d have something strong to drink and/or smoke and then laugh his ass off watching it! That’s what it was like creating the film: Drinking scotch and smoking cigars in my rooftop writing garret, laughing my ass off! The green aliens have a totally high-tech ship, except for the automotive steering wheel and four-on-the-floor to shift gears. For the clowns we went for an absurdly updated version of Flash Gordon. And when our tiny clown emperor takes possession of an earth body, he has little dummy of the earthling sitting in his lap, their heads connected by electrical wires. Absurd and ridiculous, and that’s my middle name.

Want to see a double feature of The Forbidden Zone and Aliens, Clowns & Geeks? You can! They will play at The Regency in L.A. as part of The Valley Film Festival on 1/30/21. Get tickets here.

Look for our review of Aliens, Clowns & Geeks here soon!

Going To Disneyland With The Slashers Headcanons

Requested by anon!

Charles Lee Ray/Chucky:

In human form, Charles fucking hates it. He barely even tolerates it for you. 

In doll form, Chucky loves it. Free food and souvenirs, and he doesn’t have to pay to get in (”Why would I pay $200 of our hard earned money to go sing with woodland animals?” was always his argument). He can sneak onto rides, he can hide and pose as an animatronic. He laughs every time he makes a child point and cry. 

Beetlejuice 

Knows literally everyone in the Haunted Mansion. “Ghostie Hostie! It’s me, ya boy!” Everybody thinks he works there. He pretends he does so he can lead them off to weird places of the park when all they wanted was a dole whip. Haha. That wasn’t funny Beej, that kid is crying now. 

Jack Torrance

He tolerates it, but if it makes his girl happy, he’ll pretend he’s having a good time. He just won’t go on It’s A Small World. Anything. But. That. After a while though, he can’t take all the screaming little brats, and hangs around the Tower of Terror. Come to think of it, he’s still there... wait-- is that a black and white picture of him with the guests in the lobby?!

Tiffany Valentine

Is a huge fan of exciting rides, and is obsessed with everything Minnie Mouse. Will take a billion photos with you in front of the castle, and squeal every time she sees a princess. Her favourite ride is Snow White’s Scary Adventure-- a perfect mix of princesses and spooks!

Michael Myers (2007 or 1978)

Doesn’t really understand the hype. He spends half an hour admiring the pumpkins on the Haunted Mansion lawn having an existential crisis. He will hold your hand and take all your pictures for you if you ask him. You have to watch him like a child, because he’ll keep wandering back to stare at the pumpkins. Oh shit, look out! Loomis is in the doom buggy behind you two shouting about evil in the park.

Otis Driftwood

Complains aaallll day, grumbles, mopes, etc, but secretly, it’s making him pretty happy. Kind of. He didn’t get shit like this in his childhood, so it’s sort of therapeutic. If any character tries to talk to him, he flips them off. This almost gets you thrown out eight times. He likes Splash Mountain, and cheers (too loudly) for Br’er Fox to “kill that hip hopping little fucker before I do!” And why does he keep yelling "RUN RABBIT RUN!" at Br'er Rabbit??? Shut up, Otis. Please shut up. 

Baby Firefly

Is having the time of her life, but has absolutely no regard for park rules. “What do you m e a n I can’t take my top off on pirates of the Caribbean, it was WET!” Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters is her favourite ride, because you get to shoot stuff. Pew pew. 

Captain Spaulding

Kind of loves it?? Also he’s having a really great time terrorizing the children who keep coming up to him and asking him if he’s a real clown. “Heya kid! Go find your mama and tell her I said to go fuck herself! HAHA!” Disney tries to hire him as an entertainer, he tells them he wants a million dollars for it. Oh, he also really likes the Blue Bayou restaurant. Says their menu needs more fried chicken. Is thrown out. 

Doomhead

Doesn’t want to be there. Would literally rather be dead. He doesn’t have time for this shit, especially when he should be preparing for the next 31. W h y did you bring him?

Stu Macher

Pretends he thinks it’s stupid at first to look cool, but is actually a little kid again. He holds your hand and drags you to his favourite ride, California Screaming, which he makes you ride 10 times in a row. All around, you’re incredibly dizzy by nighttime, but Stu’s excitement is worth it. It reminds him of happy times when he was a kid, before his parents divorced. 

Billy Loomis

The perfect date. You two take pictures together, get Mickey and Minnie shirts, hold hands on all the rides. Billy likes going to some of the live shows too. Will do something cute, like ask the Dapper Dans to sing a romantic song for you two while you share a Matterhorn Sundae at the Carnation Cafe. 

Killer Klowns From Outer Space

It’s a theme park, so they’re happy to be happy with you there! :))) They like the  Ferris Wheel the best, and practically empty out Gibson Girl’s ice cream supply. Oops. The cast member just went screaming cause Shorty jumped over the counter to grab some more. Oh no-- Slim just threw a waffle at Rudy. Security’s coming. Well, it was fun while it lasted. 

Art the Clown

Loves It’s A Small World. You know why. He wants to chop off all the heads and hang them from strings, then fill the water with blood. You know what goes on inside that head. You know.

Pennywise (1990)

Gets annoyed with the children very quickly, and tries to munch quite a few. You have to watch him very closely, or there’s a fat chance the SWAT team will be called. You’ve explained that you’re at a very famous theme park, and can’t eat any children. Papawise clearly doesn’t give a fuck. 

Pennywise (2017)

Realizes this is a big theme park and is basically a buffet, but understands after you explain that he can’t eat anyone in a place this public. He then moves on to taste testing literally everything in the park, because he’s hungry dammit, and the rides make his molecules float so he doesn’t like them. His favourite restaurant is Ariel’s Grotto. 

Freddy Krueger

Thinks this is very dumb, but likes Sleeping Beauty’s castle. Heh. Heh heh. 

Jason Voorhees

Much like Michael, Jason doesn’t really understand the hype around the park, and doesn’t know the characters, so he just gets his pleasure from watching you and the magic in your eyes. He thinks it’s adorable and will never get tired of it. Will hold your hand. Make sure his mask is on tight, cause he almost lost it on Space Mountain and had a fucking field day. 

Bubba Sawyer 

You made him watch a whole bunch of Disney movies before going, so he knows everything about everyone. He gets very excited about his favourite characters he sees walking around (he’s partial to Alice in Wonderland) but is too shy to meet them unless you walk up with him. He’ll also give you piggy back rides when your feet get tired! Don’t take him to the Tiki Room, loud noises upset him. 

Chop Top

Is having the time of his LIFE. You will have to DRAG him from the park at the end of the day. He runs up to characters and asks them a bazillion questions that are sooo fucking hard to answer, sorry you have to deal with this nastyboi asking what your hair growth routine is today Rapunzel, but god is he excited. He wants to hit every ride, but gets lost trying to get there. He also buys a very nice pair of mickey ears to hide his plate. Don’t ask him to ever take them off, he won’t.

Final Thoughts: Leprechaun 1-4

So, for starters, there is literally NO continuity in this series. Dude literally dies at the end of every movie. Dude is harmed by very different things in each movie. The Leprechaun lore is different in every movie. The only constant in the series is Warwick Davis as the Leprechaun (who is fucking fantastic btw).

Leprechaun 1

Amazing. No. Really. Its fucking hilarious. There is some blood and gore so if you’re squeamish, its not for you. But if you can handle a bit of blood, I’d give it a watch. It’s not a piece of fine art by any stretch of the imagination but its a fun B-movie romp on the same level as Killer Klowns.

Leprechaun 2

I think they wanted to take this one more seriously. The lore is more consistent with actual fair folk lore. Granting wishes. Being hurt by iron. Keeping human slaves. Using arbitrary reasoning for serious decisions (her sneezing 3 times, not even in a row just 3 times, is her consenting to marry the little green bastard? wow). Making human women have their babies. That sort of thing.

The main cast is still fun and entertaining. Could have gone without the implied underaged boobies (the actress was of age but the character wasn’t) BUT it was in the course of the only asshole death of the movie so I give it a pass. However, the chemistry between characters wasn’t as good as the first one. The humor suffered a lot from that, too. It was still a bit silly but I think it tried to take itself too seriously. Still a decent entry as a B-movie romp, though. I’d recommend it.

Leprechaun 3

If any of the 4 core movies was the “its just a paycheck at this point” movie, its this one. Davis is still giving it his all. You can tell he has so much fun playing this character. But for the first 3rd of the movie, hes barely in it. It focuses too much on the main dude who really doesn’t have that much of a personality. I think he was supposed to come off as naive and innocent but he just comes off as flat and maybe even a bit mentally slow. He’s supposed to act like a sheltered 18 year old, not a 12 year old. At first I thought that was the intention, but it’s never addressed like that. If its intentional, it feels more like the joke IS hes mentally disabled. Just, like, “hey look! hes abnormally awkward! laugh!” and its really not funny.

Halfway through the movie though; oh, uh, spoilers; kid gets bitten by the Leprechaun and starts turning into a Leprechaun himself. At that point the movie actually gets back to its old silly roots and its pretty enjoyable from that point forward. Still trying to take itself a bit too seriously but not so serious that its not enjoyable.

BUT if you wanted to skip any of them, you could skip this one. Its probably the worst of the first 4 movies by far.

Leprechaun 4: Leprechaun In Space!

DO. NOT. BE. FOOLED.

This movie was amazing. Probably just as good as the first one, if I’m honest. The characters are actually interesting and they play on each other really well. Outside of the laser fights and the pointless partial nudity in the last 3rd, I really dont have a lot of criticism for it. It wasn’t taking itself seriously, like, at all. It knew what a weird movie this was and they ran with it whole hog. They gave their all for the total wackiness of this outrageous concept.

I would totally recommend this one. Hell, if you had to choose only 2 of the series to watch, 1 and 4 are your movies.

All in all, I think all 4 were decent. They aren’t any award winning fright fests but if you’re into movies like Killer Klowns, Troll, ect then you’ll like these movies. Totally best viewed with friends or like I did here and live blog. The best part of movies like this is making fun of them. c:

[dawnsfeathers-blog]

Freckles the Killer Klown. Okay, so, I watched Killer Klowns From Outer Space a while ago when one of my friends was visiting. She brought it along to watch. Sadly I only made it through about half of the movie because I fell asleep from lack of sleep. haha. But with my recent clown/klown obsession, It was brought back up during a tumblr post that I scrolled past several times. Funny how that works. Anyhoo, I decided to make one. C:>

Freckles is a silly, outgoing yet anxious klown. She is usually harassing anybody who looks anything like or near a cowboy cus that’s just her obsession. When I say she’s obsessed, it’s clearly an understatement. Freckles is one to stray from important matters that deal with abduction or killing because she can be that air-headed at times. When her mind is onto something, her stubbornness keeps her from following orders. She hates being confronted with things because that’s when her anxiety really kicks in. She’s fiercely protective of her klown buddy, Dolly, and if she hears her cry, there will be hell to pay.

Art by ME. and @galrachewtoy DO NOT REPOST.

Freckles belongs to me.

[cookietrains]

Some fun mechanics, I think, would be neat to add to the Killer Klowns Video Game

(This is in no way belittling the game - I think the devs get enough of that and it's so sad. These are just some cute thoughts I've had that I think would be really neat of they added these things to the game :) -also, I want to note that I have not played the game myself. I'm way too poor for not only the game but also a nice computer to play it on. No way my windows laptop that i got.. in 2017? Is gonna be able to hold the graphics. But I do watch gameplays and keep up with all the updates And I want to make it clear I love this game. )

• Adding the option (as a Klown only) to go back to the ship. Maybe to either recharge weaponry or take a cotton candy blood break idk In my head though, the thought of being inside the ship is so fun. You could interact with the other Klowns or take a relaxing dip in the ball pits ヅ I think it would be fun if we could go back to the Klown planet too,,, but little steps...even though I wanna see the Klown planet ;;

● I need to see the Game Version of Jojo / Klownzilla. If we could play as him ??!! 😩🤌 But I would love to be able to just get a sneak peek of him before we actually SEE him, y'know? Cause he's supposed to be intimidating >:I and scary

so I imagine it would go down like - The humans hear him in the woods while approaching the ship. OR - Jojo could be seen as a shadow cast on / in the ship and he's massive. ORRR - we could have a scene like the final part of the movie. We hear Jojo roaming the ship (massive footsteps and deep guttural growling throughout the Big Top) before we see him decent the ceiling on his little...puppet strings.

• I think it would be funny to have the Klowns trip on things. They're chasing a human and while they're running they're just knocking shit all over the place. BUT that's what they did in the film. They were efficient but clumsy ^^ and I love them for that

• Story mode with cutscenes but I think this is widely anticipated.

• we don't really see baby Klowns in the game, I would love to see some of the baby klowns either biting on a helpless human running by or they're crawling all around the town.

• I don't think we've seen Wesker yet..? (God, I wish they would have come up with a different name. Only bc it makes me think of Resident evil 😭 and that's a crossover I'm.. I wouldn't love it) But I think it would be fun to see Wesker and maybe his hideout. I'll bet it's just a home made of this

All his theories just ruminating off of every wall decorated in red lines and push pins. But! That would be a major lore point! 😃 maybe.. they are just theories lol

• I got this idea from Zombieland, but how fun would it be if you could play mini games (only human) while also popping Klown noses. Or ride the rides while killing klowns. There's a whole Amusement Park setting just *There* for a boat load of wonderfully chaotic ideas :3c

• speaking of wonderfully chaotic ideas - this game is also supposed to be scary (goofy silly scary, sure) we should have a part where we have to traverse the amusement park attractions (for example, the fun house or mirror maze) and have it be scary. Like, have Klowns or Popkorn just slithering / sauntering around in the shadows while they mock the player. If they catch you they can kill you~

• (a tad more nit pick towards the game) BUT WHY ARENT KLOWNS USING BALLOONS TO CATCH PEOPLE >:I and I want to see Slims car (Not the invisible one - the one that has a need for speed) OH- side note, it just occurred to me Slim has more than one vehicle... is he rich? 👀 Is Slim A Rich Klown??? Unless of course the small vroom car could also be the invisible car... just un-invisible.

• it would be cute if there were ncp klowns ? Klowns that *could* kill you if you got too close, but if you watch from a distance they're just being inquisitive about Earth. They could be looking at a mural on a building or (like said in the Lore Tapes - they could be just stood in front of a store and they can't move or look away, just staring at whatever caught their attention) I also really like the idea of Rosebud and Daisy just chilling in the background picking flowers or sumn Just being adorable

10 Awesomely Bad Movies You Absolutely Must See

New Post has been published on https://kidsviral.info/10-awesomely-bad-movies-you-absolutely-must-see/

10 Awesomely Bad Movies You Absolutely Must See

There’s no accounting for taste, which is why two people can see the same film and have drastically different reactions. Usually you can find all kinds of conflicting opinions about movies, where some love it and some hate it and some fall on the fence. It makes for some good discussion, and differing opinions make for a well-rounded look at film. 

Then there are these. 

These ten films are just terrible. No one will argue with you, and the only way that people like them is in the howling-with-laughter way. These “films” are inept from start to finish, and most of them have some truly memorable moments. How else would they become classics?

We present, in no particular order (because how can you put a quantifier on such artistic beauty?) ten of the worst movies ever. There are plenty more terrible movies out there, but these hold a special place in my heart. 

1.) Battlefield Earth. Roger Christian, 2000

IMDb

*Dramatically rips out nose plugs.* This flop starred John Travolta in his cybergoth phase, and is based on an L. Ron Hubbard novel. What could go wrong? It’s you’re average futuristic dystopia with some oppressive alien overlords and some plucky human revolutionaries, and in case that’s too subtle a plot for you, the protagonist’s name is “Jonnie Goodboy.” Really.

2.) Showgirls. Paul Verhoeven, 1995.

IMDb

This was supposed to be Elizabeth Berkley’s post-Saved By The Bell break into ~serious~ acting. Surprise! It wasn’t. It was, however, to become one of the worst movies ever made, with lots of glitter and nudity and catfighting–although some critics praise it as legitimate satire and has, like many others, gained a cult following. It’s gratuitous on all levels, and that’s why people hate-love it.

3.) Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Stephen Chiodo, 1988

IMDb

Yes, it’s klowns with a K. That’s how you know it’s kwality. In this sci-fi romp, aliens that resemble clowns invade the earth with the deadly plot to encase humans in cotton candy. Sticky, sticky world domination. Naturally, it’s up to some plucky teens to save humanity. The movie’s saving grace is that it seems fairly aware of it’s camp (kamp?) and runs with it. If you have a really intense fear of clowns, you might want to skip this one. Or it might be the thing that helps you conquer your fears. Remember. Aim for the nose.

4.) Samurai Cop. Amir Shervan, 1991

The Daily Grindhouse

Samurai Cop is magical. Pretty much everything you can conceive of going wrong in this movie goes wrong, from the bizarre dialogue to the inexplicable synth soundtrack to the red paintballs used to simulate bullet wounds. The best acting comes from the title character’s wig, and it’s got a horny nurse, a stuffed lion, and a very strange waiter. Don’t ask me to explain. You have to see it for yourself. The best part? It’s gained such a cult following that they’re making a sequel! Seriously!

5.) Troll 2. Claudio Fragrasso, 1990

IMDb

While there was a movie called, Troll, this is not its sequel. This movie, though, is more memorable with sexual popcorn, dialogue written by a non-English-speaker, and lots of green ooze. It’s also got goblins, not trolls. There is not one troll in Troll 2.

6.) Legend. Ridley Scott, 1985

IMDb

I don’t care about your childhood or how good a director Ridley Scott is. Legend is terrible. A recently-discovered director’s cut improves on the original 89-minute print, which contains a lot of confusing plot holes, but even that can only do so much. The plot is generic fantasy involving true love, unlikely heroes, unicorns and ultimate evil (played by Tim Curry, whose makeup seems to have made up the bulk of the movie’s budget). Tom Cruise, post Risky Business and pre Top Gun, plays a forest boy who has not, evidently, discovered the human world invention of pants, so there’s a lot of Tom crotch. Like, a LOT.

7.) Manos: The Hands of Fate. Harold P. Warren, 1966

The only thing you really need to know about this movie is that it was made by a fertilizer and insurance salesman on a bet, and that its premiere resulted in the audience throwing their shoes at the screen. The fact that the people involved had little to no experience in filmmaking becomes pretty obvious immediately. This “film,” if you can call it that, was featured on MST3K and, like Samurai Cop has gained a considerable cult following.

8.) Crossroads. Tamra Davis, 2002

IMDb

So, it was generally considered by critics to be better than the Mariah Carey vehicle, Glitter but that’s not saying much. It’s the Britney Spears movie. I mean, come on. It has Spears showcasing her vapid charm and butchering “I Love Rock & Roll.” Luckily for us, Zoe Saldana and, to a lesser extent, Taryn Manning, got out unscathed.

9.) The Room. Tommy Wiseau, 2003

IMDb

OH HAI. If writer/director/star/producer Tommy Wiseau’s drunk-looking mug on the poster doesn’t serve as a warning, I don’t know what does. Not meant to be funny (I think), the movie is hilarious, replete with surreal dialogue and surreal, well, everything, including the title, since no one room is terribly central to the plot, which is inconsequential other than YOU ARE TEARING ME APART LISA. An IF review describes Wiseau’s speaking voice as “like Borat trying to do an impression of Christopher Walken playing a mental patient.” Also having gained a cult following, this bizarre series of events (again, it’s more that than a “film”) can be found on the midnight showing circuit in many cities, where audiences can be found gleefully throwing spoons. Really.

10.) Eragon. Stefan Fangmeler, 2006

IMDb

Based on a popular novel, this film is a plodding, lifeless adaptation, and it feels like all the actors are just itching to get it over with, especially John Malkovich, who seems to appear in this movie under duress. But that’s not to say it doesn’t have any (unintentional) humor to it. The ham-fisted dialogue and the ham-fisted, well, everything are good for laughs.

So the next time you’re sitting at home wondering what you should watch, consider one of these gems. Invite over some friends, have plenty of booze and have the best film festival ever.

It? If You Want Clowns...

Try Killer Klowns From Outer Space! I was hanging out at a friend's place back in the late '80s and we stumbled upon Killer Klowns one day while flipping through the channels and we couldn't stop watching.

Why? Well, the film was crazy. It was funny. It was scary. It was goofy. The Klowns in this film are wait for it...from outer space! They travel around in a spaceship that looks like a giant circus tent! Arnold thought the Predator was one ugly mother&*!$%@, but these Klowns are hideous. My very first night at Dragon Con this year I saw three people dressed up as these things and it was awesome!

Some spoilers here, but do you care? The movie has been around since the '80s.

So, why did the klowns land on earth? Well, they want to capture humans and put them in giant cotton candy cocoons, let them ferment, and drink them with a giant krazy straw of course! Duh! They terrorize a small town with popcorn guns and they twist balloons into dogs that come to life and have this little howl. The movie is bad, but it's a blast.

There are some creepy parts, some sinister and gory parts, but mostly it's just a fun horror film with ugly clowns running around. The Chiodo brothers are responsible for this flick--they are the ones behind the marionettes in Team America: World Police.

If you just want to turn off your brain and have a few laughs after seeing It, give Killer Klowns From Outer Space a try. I don't promise an award winning film, just a fun one even if it has clowns in it, and most people I know hate clowns.
