About the Film
Plot: The film centers on a group of alien beings who resemble colorful circus clowns arriving on Earth in a spaceship that looks like a circus tent. They begin to capture and "harvest" the human inhabitants of the small town of Crescent Cove, California, using comical yet lethal weapons such as ray guns that encase people in cotton candy cocoons and shadow puppets that eat people.
Production: It was created by the Chiodo Brothers, who handled the practical effects and makeup. The film is known for its unique blend of goofy humor, grotesque monster design, and 80s camp.
Cultural Impact: The film did not have a large box office success initially but became a cult classic through home video releases. It has since inspired merchandise, haunted house attractions, and a 2024 asymmetrical multiplayer video game adaptation. |
