''Killer Klowns from Outer Space'' is a 1988 [[B -Movie]]. A spaceship shaped like a giant circus tent lands on the outskirts of a small town. The occupants are aliens that look like [[Monster Clown|Monster Clowns]]. They begin abducting the townsfolk, sealing them in cotton candy cocoons, and then [[Our Vampires Are Different|draining them of their blood]]. Only one man, his two delinquent friends, his girlfriend, and her cop ex-boyfriend can stop them.
 
A very [[Affectionate Parody]] of 50's [[B -Movie|B Movies]] (particularly ''[[The Blob (Film)|The Blob]]'') with just about every alien invasion and circus trope present.

* [[B -Movie]]: Understatement
