Killer Klowns From Outer Space' Creators Tease Something "Absolutely" Happening in Franchise's Future

The absurd blend of humor and horror found in Killer Klowns from Outer Space has developed the film a passionate following, with fans hoping to see a continuation of the narrative in some capacity. During a recent convention appearance, creators the Chiodo Brothers tease that there is a revived interest in the property which could lead to delivering fans the continued adventures of the film.

"I used to say don’t hold your breath, but things have been happening right now… I would say you can hold your breath now,” the filmmakers shared at Son of Monsterpalooza. “The success of IT recently has kind of educated some of the people in the industry that… clowns are cool, clowns are scary… they’re looking at horror properties now more seriously than ever. I can say, something will be happening with Killer Klowns from Outer Space in the near future. Absolutely. "

I'm in for this if they stay with practical effects.

Been waiting for this for a very long time...

Loved the first movie, double dipped on the Blu twice - but do we need another one? I mean other than the Chiodo like $$$, that is.

This, much as I'd like a new one.

Bloody Disgusting is hearing exclusively that Syfy is in talks to license the rights to make new feature films based on the Chiodo brothers’ Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) and Stephen Herek’s Critters (1986).

While Critters has seen multiple sequels, fans have been clamoring for a Killer Klowns followup for decades. In the film, aliens who look like clowns come from outer space and terrorize a small town. Syfy is making franchise reboots part of their new business model with a perfect example being Leprechaun Returns, set to premiere in March of 2019.

Agreed. CGI does not belong in horror movies.

[Worship.my.wreck]

They've been talking about this for years, but with the current horror resurgence and nostalgia for the 80's, I can see it finally happening. I'm down.

[oilers73]

I'd love a sequel, but I'll believe it when they have completed principal photography. Until then, this is just like Evil Dead 4, Bill & Ted 3, and Ghostbusters 3 - pipe dreams.

No use of cgi on the clowns, but you're gonna have to expect cgi for the visual fx. The 1988 movie used plenty of fx that weren't practical, before cgi it was optical fx.

Meanwhile, I'm considering going out with Jenna Fischer this weekend. I've been considering this for about 10 years.

See how that works?

Stephen Chiodo Explains What Happened With ‘Killer Klowns from Outer Space’ Movie

What happened there? Stephen Chiodo breaks it down in a new chat with Slasher Radio.

“There was a deal… MGM controls the rights… and they went to SYFY,” Chiodo explains to the podcast. “They did Critters, and you saw what that turned out to be like. But they wanted to do Klowns for like two million [dollars]. And we don’t want to do that… we did it for two million back in the ’80s. So we didn’t want to do it. And even MGM didn’t want to do it… they said it was a more valuable property than just signing off for that little money.”

As for MGM, it sounds like a regime change recently killed interest in the continuation of the Klowns franchise. As Chiodo explains, they’re still trying to generate enough internal interest in the brand. At this time, however, a Klowns follow-up project remains as elusive as ever.

“Right out of the gate we tried to do a sequel,” Chiodo recalls. “In fact we had a TV deal… USA TV we had a series. But the deal fell through like a lot of things do. And we have been trying to get the sequel going since 1988. And Hollywood is just a horrible machine. The film didn’t really get much box office… and when you want to get a sequel done, they look at the box office. They don’t regard cult films as something to invest in.”

He continues, “We have this whole long trilogy – something we call a trilogy in four parts because we include the original – a TV series for cable [or] streaming. And it follows the adventures of all the characters as they go through their lives, crushed after the first invasion. It would make a great mini-series. So we’re constantly selling that for people who are interested.”

“Once they approached us to do a VR game, and I’ve got this whole thing planned out. I have this giant presentation. It was ****ing fantastic,” Chiodo also mentions during the chat.

[DR Herbert West]

They should've taken the two million.

[Guy87]

I really enjoyed Alien Xmas though, so there's that at least.

[Zillamon51]

I'd rather no new film, than a made-for-SyFy cheapie with bad CGI.

It is done. The scary clown fad will pass. Netflix, Amazon, or someone had better pony up soon if anything is going to happen.
