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 talking 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 need that to happen, and they’re willing to head to the new frontier for more Killer Klowns.
“My goal is to make an eight-part miniseries for streamers,” Chiodo told SFX magazine. “We have a wonderful concept that continues the story of our main characters. We’ll stick to a new organization of teenagers who cross paths with clowns. and make a living in his pickup truck: he’s Mike Tobacco. There’s a big invasion and we’re set on the clown planet. We have a lot of intelligent ideas about where this universe is headed. You haven’t even noticed the clown animals on the Clown Planet yet. There is a global total of things on our minds!
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.
