Aliens disguised as clowns crash land on Earth in a rural town to capture unsuspecting victims in cotton candy cocoons for later consumption.

**_Amusing, but too ridiculous, yet interestingly relates to the Hebrew diaspora_** A town by the central California coast is invaded by circus-like extraterrestrials, who prey upon humans for their blood. "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" (1988) is a colorful and fun alien invasion flick in the mold of “Critters” from two years earlier but, unlike that flick, is too preposterous to suspend disbelief. For instance, “Critters” offers a good explanation for how one of the extraterrestrials appears like a striking rock star, but you’ll get nothing like that here. Nevertheless, there are multiple funny moments and winsome redhead Suzanne Snyder is a highlight as Debbie. Also, John Vernon is entertaining as the curmudgeon officer and the sequence involving one of the Klowns using a certain character as a ventriloquist dummy is worth the price of admission. An interesting interpretation is that the Klowns are analogous of the dispersed Israelites who learned to hide in plain sight and thrive (not just survive) by changing their names and taking control in their new environments thru influencing and manipulating entertainment, politics, the media and financing (e.g. Federal Reserve banking). It runs 1 hour, 28 minutes, and was shot in Watsonville, California (and nearby Santa Cruz), which are located 80-90 miles south of San Francisco. GRADE: C
