The Return Of The Killer Klowns From Outer Space In 3D

Shawn Francis · 06-11-2011, 06:59 PM

BLOODY DISGUSTING: One of my all-time favorite cheesetastic '80s horror films is Stephen, Charles and Edward Chiodo's 1988 The Killer Klowns from Outer Space, which follows a clan of aliens who look like clowns that terrorize a small town.

Fansite Freddy in Space caught up with Grant Cramer, who played 'Mike Tobacco' in the original film, to chat about the long-rumored sequel. While I personally never expected good news, Cramer revealed that a sequel is in fact on the horizon. Grab your cotton candy and get ready!

"We have a script and a commitment for all our funding but the money can't be spent until we have a distribution deal in place so that's where we are – talking to distributors. As soon as that final piece comes into place we should be pretty much good to go," he told the site.

Cramer explains he's penned the script for The Return of The Killer Klowns from Outer Space in 3-D and will be producing alongside the Chiodo brothers. Stephen Chiodo will direct once again. But what will the film be about, other than alien clowns?

"Well, I don’t want to say too much about the story at this early juncture but I will say that it is connected to the first movie and my character will be the mentor to the two new young leads that have to try save the world from the Klowns when they return," Cramer reveals. "They're also trying to save themselves because the bad stuff the Klowns do at first gets blamed on them."

Check out a text-filled teaser trailer inside and then tell us what you think. Personally, I'll pre-order my ticket now if it guarantees this gets made.

Yes, it is.

This is a BIG suprise! Can't wait!

Grant Cramer wrote the script!?! That is awesome.

We need some alien clown boobs in this one.

Sounds awesome though, it's a damned shame we never got a sequel years ago.

Perhaps MGM will step in to distribute the sequel? I mean, they could do with a cheap B-movie sequel to add some variety to their Sony co-production deals.

Wait a second... The klowns return in the script and... their actions are blamed on people? This isn't Gremlins. The klowns don't (exactly) swoop in, damage property, and then run off somewhere to hide. I know Dave in the original suspected Mike at one point but, seriously, this has become a really bad recurring theme in horror films of the last decade from Darkness Falls to Cry Wolf to Dead Silence, to name a few. It's always irritating. It's never amusing or interesting.

Anyway, if they can assure us this won't take over the new movie- I'll count myself excited as well. SO LONG as we also know there will be a bare minimum of CGI and that the music score will stay true to the spirit of the original film. If they turn this into some fucking nu-metal shitfest or put in a bunch of industrial factory sound effects, I'm OUT. The original is my favorite film of all-time and part of the reason a film like this should even be considered is that it sticks to the ORIGINAL and everything that made that film great.

Should be a lot of fun.

Announcement from the Chiodo Bros. themselves! It's going to be a requel (you heard me right!):

Hell yes. Too bad that chances of it getting a wide theater release is slim.
