Nope, never saw it. But the clown in **Poltergeist** freaked me the hell out! ---

Heh- I have that movie on DVD. I’ve always enjoyed it- the theme song is really cool. BTW, it’s [Killer Klowns From Outer Space](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0095444). [sub]The baloon dogs were pretty cool as well.[/sub] ---

I think all clowns are inherantly evil. ---

It’s one of my favorite movies, and in my “favorite evil clowns movies” list (Stephen King’s _It_’s on the list as well). I liked how the one made a puppet out of the sheriff. And on a side note, **Pink** , ixnay on the iliesmay. ---

When I wrote that, I had to triple-check it. Pig Latin words always look misspelled to me. Well, I mean, other than how they… they’re supposed to be… aw, fergettaboutit. ---

Loved the movie, the balloon dogs were cool. One of the few self-aware B-movie spoofs that’s actually fun. Considering how many people hate clowns, I’m surprised the film doesn’t have an even bigger following than the sizable cult it has now.
