Happy Birthday Matt and happy Thursday to everyone else!  Don’t be sad but our Second Annual Harvest Horror Fest is coming to a close but not yet!  This week we have an incredible classic horror B-movie, Killer Klowns from Outer Space!  Not klown related topics include pizza parties, HBO’s new Watchmen show, and Bozo the Clown.   Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a fun horror film that knows exactly what it is and capitalizes on it.  The acting is cheesy, the premise is cheesy, and the sets are cheesy but that is what makes this movie so much fun!  The Klowns are particularly terrifying especially their face/masks. The level of detail and movement that went into them is astounding for 1988.  The real genius of the movie though really shines through in the different sets, weapons, and tools the alien Klowns use from cotton candy cocoons to popcorn guns.  Killer Klowns from Outer Space really hits all the marks for a great, fun, and unique horror film.  Mike Talent, Mr. Horror movie himself, has never seen thi
