There are two kinds of cult movies. The first kind becomes a cult classic by accident; through some unpredictable twist of fate, a film that performed poorly at the box office can sometimes find a rabid fan-base on video. The other kind of cult classic, however, is the one that was created for the sole purpose of repeated midnight screenings. These films usually feature outlandish plots, copious violence, and ridiculous titles. Killer Klowns from Outer Space hits every mark on that checklist. If you haven’t yet seen this hilarious and horrifying head trip—in which aliens come to earth in the form of clowns, harvest human beings, and drink their blood out of large cotton candy sacks—you’re in for a willfully bizarre treat you won’t soon forget. And it’s even playing at midnight.
