“A sinister three-ring circus of sneaky gore!”
- L.A. Weekly
Finally, the truth about clowns is out! Beneath their smirky sinister grins and wildly patterned clothes are clever killers from out of this world. Killer Klowns From Outer Space strips away their painted faces, unmasking horrifying monsters with the ultimate human death plan. The “juxtaposition of their toy-store arsenal and malevolent intent proves to be a tasty combination” (Los Angeles Times) that will leave you fearing these big-top creatures for good.
A spaceship - looking like a circus tent - lands in a field near a small town, signaling the attack of deviant, red-nosed, balloon-twisting psychos from another world who play to annihilate mankind - by turning people into cotton candy! Luckily, the town’s teen citizenry decides to fight back and teach the cosmic bozos a lesson. But these klowns are no klutzes, turning popcorn, peanuts, and caramel corn into playful - but deadly - weapons of madcap destruction and mayhem!

“...the sci-fi thriller that literally takes the Frankenstein story to new heights and uncharted depths.”
-The New York Times
Seeking refuge in the eye of a violent typhoon, the crew of a crippled salvage tug makes a potentially profitable discovery. A Russian military vessel, loaded with hi-tech computer hardware worth millions in salvage fees, appears abandoned by its crew. After restoring power to the ship, greedy Captain Everton (Donald Sutherland) and his navigator “Kit” (Jamie Lee Curtis) encounter a lone scientist, scared (almost) to death. She begs them to turn the ship’s power back off. But - is it too late? The haggard tug crew has no idea that an alien life form holding the ship hostage not only feeds on electricity but thrives on developing new ways of killing the “virus” on earth known as man. Who will dominate in a fight to the death against a horrifying new strain of evil?

The classic ‘50s cold war sci-fi horror film is transformed into a monstrously gripping, modern special effects tour-de-force! Director Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre I, and II) brings his own uniquely spectacular vision to this masterful new version of everyone’s favorite “alien invasion” tale!
A courageous young boy battles the hideous Martians who have “taken over” his parents (Laraine Newman and Timothy Bottoms) – and who now threaten to subjugate the entire planet! Also caught up in the terrifying action are Oscar winner Louise Fletcher (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) and Karen Black (Easy Rider, Savage Dawn). Truly unearthly creature design and make-up techniques blend with the astonishing special visual effects of Academy Award winner John Dykstra (Star Wars). A breathtaking, pulse-pounding science fiction mind-blower!
