For decades, cult horror fans have wondered what a sequel to Killers Klowns from Outer Space would look like, but sadly, it’s never happened.
Now, the Chiodo Brothers are opening up about what it would take for a new sequel and what format they envision for the project. Director Stephen Chiodo and his writer/producer brothers Charles and Edward all want it to happen, and they feel like streaming into the new frontier for more Killer Klowns.
“My goal is to do an eight-part miniseries for streamers,” Stephen Chiodo tells SFX Magazine. “We’ve got a great concept that continues the story of our main characters. We’ll follow a new group of teenagers who come upon the clowns and meet a drunk living in his van – it’s Mike Tobacco. There’s a big invasion, and we end up on the clown planet. We have lots of great ideas about where this universe goes. You haven’t even seen the clown animals on the clown planet yet. There’s a whole world of things that we have in mind!”
The 1988 cult classic followed terrifying extra-terrestrials who resemble clowns arriving on Earth and invading a small town to capture, kill, and harvest the human inhabitants to use as sustenance by drinking their blood. Written, directed, and produced by the Chiodo Brothers, the film starred Grant Cramer, Suzanne Snyder, John Allen Nelson, and John Vernon.
