It's one of the most imaginative horror movies ever made. It's very 80s Tim Burtonesque in a lot of ways. Highly underrated.

What are you going to do with those pies, boys?
Too bad there wasn't a sequel but it would be hard to top I guess.
John Vernon seemed to have a good time.

I thought this was creepier than stuff I've seen in most "serious" horror films:

I loved it and still do. Apparently the movie was quite the labor of love if you do a little reading on its creation. I think that spirit/feeling can come across in a movie to the viewer, and it definitely does here.
Composer John Massarri even raised almost $15k on an Indiegogo crowdfunding to re-record the score with a full orchestra, featuring the classic synths. It would have been an ensemble something like the Trans-Siberian orchestra. This was happening last summer. The audiences and creators are still very excited about Killer Klowns.
He and the directors have been talking for years about being hoping to make a sequel. I (and probably the huge following this movie has) would love to see them pull it off.

Forgot to add something about Killer Klowns...
This year, Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights event gave them a huge spotlight.
For those who aren't familiar, it is a seasonal event the theme parks do where rides/stores are converted into haunted houses and horror based attractions. It's aimed at adults (I believe 16 is the minimum age) and is a separately ticketed event. It's not just putting cobwebs in the coffee shop, its a legit horror event that they spend millions on (actors, consultants, tech crew). Often, a major horror franchise sets the "theme" for the attractions, and there are three 'big' haunted houses. This year was "Stranger Things" followed by "Poltergeist" and "Halloween 4."
These set the event up to be heavily 80's based. So a lot of horror from that era (Killer Klowns included) was given a dedicated portion of the park. This event does not pull punches on the adult scare factor (they had a remotely operated animotronic Chucky, complete with Brad Dourif impersonator, heckling passersby in exactly the way you'd expect the character to do). I couldn't wait to see what they were going to do with the Klowns.
I went to the event at the Universal Orlando location two weeks ago, and they did not disappoint. I have a seasonal consulting job with Universal for this event (audio/syncing speakers) and we get to see a lot of the behind the scenes stuff. The Klowns were indistinguishable from what we saw in the movies. They hired a bunch of actors to wear the costumes and lurk around the area scaring people. The environment also sold cotton candy, had just as many fog machines as their space ship in the movie, and had their soundtrack playing. It was a cool (and spot on) tribute to say the least...that probably cost a fortune in development and execution...
TLDR, if Universal is shelling out the big bucks to include "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" in such a massive event, there's got to be a pretty big interest/love for the movie. Makes me hopeful that we will someday see a sequel!
