Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 71% approval rating, and it has since become a cult film. Several officially licensed toys have been released. A sequel entitled ''Return of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space in 3D'' is planned. ==Plot== In the town of Crescent Cove, California, Farmer Gene Green spies an object fall to Earth. Believing it to be Halley's Comet, he goes to find it, coming across a large circus tent-like structure. He is at first amused by the sight, but he and his dog Pooh Bear are quickly captured by mysterious clown-like aliens. Meanwhile, Mike Tobacco and his girlfriend Debbie Stone also investigate. Coming across the same structure, they discover a complex interior that looks nothing like a circus tent. They discover the old man in a cotton candy-shaped cocoons and are nearly captured by the alien clowns, who coat them with a popcorn gun as they escape. A balloon-animal dog that comes to life gives chase. Narrowly escaping, Mike and Debbie travel to the police station to confide in her ex-boyfriend Dave Hanson and his skeptical, curmudgeonly partner Curtis Mooney about the killer clowns from outer space. The latter believes it to be a hoax. After they drop off Debbie, Mike and Dave investigate, only to find the ship missing. Dave dismisses it as a hoax until they find a make-out spot destroyed and covered in a candy-like substance. In town, the Klowns capture townspeople in cocoons by using ray guns that resemble toys. The Klowns perform a series of pranks and performances, including a puppet show, that end with many deaths. One Klown fails to lure a young girl to her death, and a small one kills a biker who destroyed his tricycle. Mike and Dave encounter one of the Klowns using a shadow puppet to shrink a crowd of unsuspecting people into the palm of his hand before feeding it to a bag full of its offspring, but it escapes before Mike can run him down. Mooney, convinced that the calls to the police station are the result of a hoax, encounters one of the Klowns and a series of pranks makes Mooney lock him up, not realizing until too late that the threat is real. Dave returns to the station to find two prisoners dead, the station decorated with shoe prints, and Mooney being mimicked like a puppet with the Klown's hand inserted in his back. Dave shoots the Klown several times before destroying its nose, which causes it to spin wildly and explode. In town, Mike and his friends, the Terenzi brothers, who own an ice cream truck they were using to warn people, notice the town is overrun by the Klowns and flee. Popcorn monsters attack Debbie at her home, and the Klowns trap her in a in a giant balloon. Mike, Dave, and the brothers give chase to the amusement park. Journeying through a funhouse leading to the ship, the Terenzi brothers become separated, meeting two female klowns who sexually harass them off-screen. After Dave and Mike witness Klowns use crazy straws to drink the liquefied townspeople, they rescue Debbie and flee into a maze full of tricks and traps. When they emerge, they are surrounded by Klowns. Rich and Paul Terenzi arrive, having escaped the female Klowns, and use the clown figure on their ice cream truck to distract the Klowns. However, a gigantic Klown marionette, Jojo the Klownzilla, arrives, breaks free from its strings, and attacks; the other Klowns flee. As Jojo destroys the ice cream truck, Dave distracts it by shooting at it. Jojo grabs Dave, who uses his badge to destroy its nose. The Klown explodes and the ship is destroyed as Debbie and Mike escape. Debbie and Mike briefly mourn their friends loss until a clown car drops out of the sky, containing Dave and the Terenzi brothers emerge. As they ask whether the ordeal is over, pies fly down and hit them in the face to the Klowns' laughter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Killer Klowns from Outer Space」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
