Day 16: Favorite "Bad" Horror Film - Killer Klowns from Outer Space


Killer Klowns from Outer Space is exactly what it sounds like. They crash land onto our planet, set up a little circus tent (which is actually their spaceship) and then they go out and terrorize the entire town. How? I'm so glad you asked, I would love to tell you. Sometimes they shoot people with guns, which can turn them into giant cotton candy cocoons. They trap people in huge plastic/rubber balls that are kind of like the ones hamsters run around in, except there are no air holes. They turn people into popcorn, which somehow later can turn into little clown heads (remember the shower scene?). They make balloon animals that can track your scent. There are pies that must be super acidic because they will melt you down into nothing. Also, shadow puppets. That turn into a T-Rex. And eat you. I'm not making any of this up.

Honorable mention: Waxwork - This is a film about a random wax museum that appears out of nowhere overnight. There are 18 different wax exhibits that feature various horror movie and real life monsters, such as vampires, werewolves, the Phantom of the Opera, a mummy, the Marquis de Sade...There's a lot going on. The basic plot is that a group of friends is invited to the museum one night and they end up inside the exhibits. And then a little scenario featuring that exhibit's monster plays out. If they die in the display, they become part of it. Once this happens with all 18 exhibits, they come to life and the monsters are supposed to end the world. The usual. It's a fun, kind of campy movie, but I love it anyway. There's a sequel that should be avoided.
