Are the ‘Killer Klowns from Outer Space’ Heading for TV?
I used to think that I was alone in my love for Stephen Chiodo’s 1988 flick Killer Klowns from Outer Space, but I’ve found out that many have a soft spot for this one, and maybe you do too? Well, over the years we have heard numerous rumblings regarding a sequel to the film, but as these things go, it just never came to fruition.
So where do we stand, and will we ever see these Klowns again? Well, The Movie Crypt recently caught up with Stephen Chiodo, and thanks to John Squires of iHorror, we have the details and they’re intriguing…
Right now, we are currently pursuing a long arch series for cable. We wondered, should we do a sequel to the first one or do we do a remake? We came up with a ‘requel’ – it’s a sequel and a remake. We’ve been developing this for a while. It’s a trilogy in four parts, and it really follows the continuing adventures of new people who are experiencing this phenomenon of a Klown invasion, and once in a while you see some of the old guys pop up and hear their stories – find out what happened over the last 25 years. It’s fucking great.
So as you can see it’s not really a remake, and it’s not really a sequel, it’s more a “requel” and, well, we’re down with that. So how about you? Would you like to see the Killer Klowns back on your screen? Hit us up, as we sure are!
