Finally got around to watching this little entertaining flick again from 1989. Whether you like clowns or hate clowns, this is a cool one to watch in October. Three brothers are terrorized by a group of lunatic clowns in a small town. Pretty cheesy at times, but definitely has it's moments. I recommend giving it a try....especially if you are afraid of clowns.

Wasn't this the one with some type of controversy surrounding it? Something about the director? I'll probably never see it because I hate clowns!! It sounds good, but clowns are like rag dolls...they're all evil. [Eek!] [Big Grin]

The premise of this clownfest was promising and it might be the first movie that I remember Sam Rockwell being in.

Two cannibals are sitting on this island eating a clown. One cannibal looks at the other and says: Hey, does this taste funny to you? [Wink]

I saw this years ago and remember being creeped out by it. Yes I hate clowns. They freak me out. A few months ago I found a used copy of the dvd at a store in Ohio and they wanted $40 bucks for it. I passed it by. That was a bit too steep for a used copy.

McFly.. you asked about "Clownhouse" on the horror thread. Here is a thread about it started by 80'sRocked awhile back..

I'll definitely be watching this again for the Halloween horror movie run starting again in October!

The film aroused controversy as a result of director Victor Salva being incarcerated for sexually molesting one of the "Clownhouse" child actors Nathan Forrest Winters.
