Netflix Is Looking at Producing a KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE Sequel
According to the directors of the original 1988 cult horror film Killer Klowns From Outer Space, we might be getting a sequel thanks to Netflix. During a recent interview with the Chiodo Brothers, who are out promoting their latest film Alien Xmas, which is currently streaming on Netflix, they talked about the possibility of a Killer Klowns sequel saying:
“Look, MGM controls ‘Killer Klowns,' If [fans] write MGM and say, ‘Where’s our sequel? Where’s that property?’ There’s so many ways they can exploit this thing. It’s really the fan base… We have tons of ideas to really carry that through… So there’ll be hopefully something in the future.”
They go on to say that they are currently talking to Netflix about a sequel. But as you know, these things take time and if it happens, it’s going to be awhile.
“We are talking to them. We’re talking all the time. Get this: we’ve been trying to do a sequel since we made the film and fans get angry with us. We don’t mention it too much, because they get angry. They say, ‘Oh, what’s the matter with you guys?’ But we’re trying. The business is just a bear, moves at a glacial pace. There’s interest, and it wanes and flows. You get some executives who really want to do it, then, all of a sudden, musical chairs. They’re out, a new regime is in, and they don’t get it. We’ll see how Alien Xmas does with the Netflix people. We’ll see if they can embrace our sensibility.”
The original Killer Klowns From Outer Space movie follows teenagers Mike and Debbie, who see a comet crash outside their sleepy small town, then investigate and discover a pack of murderous aliens who look very much like circus clowns. They try to warn the local authorities, but everyone assumes their story is a prank. Meanwhile, the clowns set about harvesting and eating as many people as they can. It's not until they kidnap Debbie that Mike decides it's up to him to stop the clowns' bloody rampage.
