Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Director: Stephen Chiodo Stephen Chiodo

Overview

"This underground hit from the '80s comes to DVD in a widescreen anamorphic picture format (with a theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1) and a single audio track, English Dolby 2.0, with Spanish and French subtitles and closed-captioning available. Special or bonus features include a bit of behind-the-scenes footage, a director-narrated audio commentary, a visual effects commentary, some information on the film's score, a short featurette on the formation and fleshing out of the character concepts, and a photo gallery of stills. While the picture quality is of about a VHS level of detail and coloring, the sound quality is strictly mono and barely adequate, just as it was in the film's original theatrical release."

Editorial Reviews

A low-budget grotesque of fanged clowns, deadly shadow puppets, and bloody greasepaint that recalls Dr. Seuss by way of The Evil Dead. Daniel Fierman
