We got this day rolling with the release of a Revisited video all about the 1988 cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space, so why don’t we wrap it up by talking about Killer Klowns from Outer Space some more? Now that we’re in August, it’s become more acceptable to be looking ahead to the Halloween season – and Spirit Halloween stores have started opening up again. As they have had before, Spirit Halloween is going to have a lot of Killer Klowns-related items available this year, including pins, patches, masks, costumes – and even a couple weapons! Spirit Halloween is currently accepting orders for the Klowns’ Cotton Candy Gun at THIS LINK, and for Shorty’s spiked club over HERE. Pictures of these items can be seen at the bottom of this article.

The Cotton Candy Gun goes for $27.99, while Shorty’s Club is $19.99.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space was directed by Stephen Chiodo from a screenplay he wrote with his brother Charles Chiodo. Stephen and Charles also produced the film with their other brother, Edward Chiodo. It has the following synopsis:

When teenagers Mike and Debbie see a comet crash outside their sleepy small town, they investigate and discover a pack of murderous aliens who look very much like circus clowns. They try to warn the local authorities, but everyone assumes their story is a prank. Meanwhile, the clowns set about harvesting and eating as many people as they can. It’s not until they kidnap Debbie that Mike decides it’s up to him to stop the clowns’ bloody rampage.

Grant Cramer, Suzanne Snyder, John Allen Nelson, Royal Dano, John Vernon, Michael S. Siegel, Peter Licassi, and Christopher Titus star.
