Anyone familiar with my ratings knows I love good bad movies...I prefer a cheesy $85,000 silly rubber monster/nekkid screaming bad acting type movie to overblown crap like "Titanic" and "Pearl Harbor"...
I want to be entertained and that's what this movies does.
Great theme song by The Dickies, amazing makeup for such a low budget, a nice mixing of old b-movie pros and a few newcomers, some decent comedy and a knowing sense of parody.
It satirizes movies like "The Blob" and mixes in some great clown jokes (cotton candy caccoons, acid cream pies, killer popcorn) and some people don't understand this, but the creators of this movie KNOW they aren't producing the next "Citizen Kane" and that's the fun of it.
As for the guy who claims to be catching up on cult classics and hated this movie, you REALLY need to catch up on your movies if you didn't recognize any of the actors in this movie...I mean a movie that has John Vernon (Animal House), Royal Dano (The Killer Inside Me), Grant Cramer (Hardbodies) and John Allen Nelson (Hunk) in it can't be all bad...
So, for a great clown double bill, grab "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" and "Shakes The Klown" then put on your red rubber nose and have a blast...
