Killer Klowns

The Killer Klowns are the main villains of the 80s comedy-horror named Killer Klowns From Outer Space - they are a race of extremely malevolent aliens that resemble heavily mutated versions of circus clowns: throughout the film they terrorise the sleepy town they happen to land in and begin a gruesome "harvest" of humans via an array of wacky yet lethal devices such as ray guns that encase people in cotton candy, shadow clown-puppets and other, even more bizzare weapons.

The Killer Klowns live up to their name and go on a mindless rampage of death and destruction until their weakness is finally exposed: their noses - by hitting their noses the Klowns are killed and thus the heroes of the story start to fight back against the murderous invaders.

However one of the heroes is captured by the Klowns and the reason behind their attacks is revealed in a disturbing scene in which she is taken aboard their "big top" space-ship and witnesses them feeding on human brains via silly-straws.

Eventually she is rescued and the film climaxes with a showdown between the heroes and JoJo - a 20ft tall Klown and leader of the Klown invaders, despite his obvious advantage JoJo is defeated when one of the heroes uses his police badge to burst the Klown's nose - which causes JoJo and the Klown space-ship to explode.

Miraculously despite this the heroes manage to survive the explosion - it is unknown if their are an entire planet of Klowns out there or if these were the only ones but it is safe to assume that these bizarre creatures will not be terrorising Earth any time soon following their defeat.
