Killer Klowns from Outer Space, 1988: Horror Comedy: Horror Spoof

By wpclipart.com
In this horror comedy, the evil aliens that appear to be klowns need grub aka people. This is a b-movie on a starvation budget that boasts 75% on the tomatometer at Rotten Tomatoes. It's a science fiction, horror spoof for cult movie aficionados.

A farmer and his dog go to investigate what he thinks is Haley's Comet. After they enter the big top spaceship, he and his canine are cast into cotton candy cocoons.

A couple parked at lover's lane view the comet type object plunging to earth too. When they inspect the area, they discover a circus tent that holds numerous cotton candied people and a dog. The alien klowns almost nab the couple with a popcorn gun. A balloon dog animates and chases them. They do escape.

 Mike and Debbie hurry to the local police and tell their tale. The police are dubious. They go to find the circus tent that has vanished. They discover a ruined scene with some cars holding cotton candy like gunk. Meantime back in town, the klowns are reeking havoc with ray guns, shadow puppets, boxing gloves, and rubber mallets.

At the end, Dave fires at the huge klown, allowing Debbie and Mike to escape the villainous aliens. The big top ship starts to whirl away with the cop aboard. Dave attacks the nose of the huge klown with his badge causing the klown to explode and thus the ship.

The tiny klown car falls from the sky. The couple reunite with Dave and some klowns drops pies that hit the couple in the face accompanied by klown cackling. A slapstick bonus.

The mischievous tricks the klown aliens use make this a cult movie that exhibits the bizarre creativity of its makers the Chiodo brothers.

Dark and Stormy Night: Horror Comedy: Larry Blamire

By netalloy at clker.com
 Edward Bulwer-Lytton coined the phrase "it was a dark and stormy night" to begin his novel entitled Paul Clifford. It is reasoned as melodramatic and called purple prose. But the idea has flourished in movies from the 1920's and 1930's and made a come back in 2009.

A Dark and Stormy Night is a film by Larry Blamire. His works are modern flicks that attack the wonderful old cliche ideas, and brings the fun of them to the big screen again. He will be known as a cult filmmaker.

This film reworks the classic reading of the will in a scary old house during a stormy night concept. It parodies the typical 1930's film of this genre. It is done in black and white just like the older films. It has the who-done-it aspect going as a psycho killer lurks the premises.

A couple of reporters turn up saying their cars broke down. They are fast talkers like their counterparts of the 1930's.  The deceased, Sinus Cavender, is said to be returning from the grave after 30 years. No comment about the name. Ha. Ha. Upon reading the will the lights are extinguished, and the attorney is stabbed and the will is gone.

Sabasha Fanmore gets the estate, but she disappears and a maniac wearing a hood begins to attack the other heirs. A doctor arrives warning that a murderer is missing from the asylum. 

These are some of the cliches represented in the film.
  • stormy night
  • old house
  • return from grave predicted
  • mysterious killer
  • nearby asylum
  • reporters
  • hooded figure
  • people in house hunting for killer
  • people disappearing
 A cult movie fan couldn't ask for more.
