So you see a Meteorite, You feel the wind, somehow you dont get absolutely shreked, then you find your worst nightmare. A Circus tent in the middle of the woods. WHY DO YOU ENTER. Well its because you have no sense of self preservation of course! As this species touched down on Earth, they immediately realized, humans tasted delicious, as such the reaping of the Homo sapiens race began! But something is strange about these creatures, they dont seem to have any weaknesses so why is that? Well lets discuss that in todays episode!
Thank you for watching Roanoke Gaming and I hope you enjoy The ALIEN Killer Klowns From Outer Space Species Explored | What Exactly Are They?

Would been funny if the *Clowns* saw a human dressed as a clown and called the other *Clowns* over but decide to not kill the human because it looked like an _off version_ of the *Clowns.* just imagine the interaction.
I’ve always wondered this myself. Like, how would they react to human-clowns?
Just like "...God that guy's ugly."
"Maybe he's sick."
Clown on clown violence… 🤔
But really, this would make an interesting subplot if they ever make a sequel. The lonely human-clown survivor who is adopted or decides to live amongst the Killer Klowns. It’s a lot to think about.
@@lunarvision Clown on clown violence
AKA Genshin players PVP
The clowns would have their own version of the uncanny valley, with the proportions of the human clown being vaguely clown clown-like, but not exactly correct. It feels and looks *off.*
That's actually brilliant. An actual sensible explanation for why popping the nose makes them explode. It also explains all the things they can do that seem like magic. Just tools implanted in their literal meat suit.
Basically the exhaust port for the clown suit would make the most sense? Some wierd alien flub that absorbs and dissipates whatever radiation byproduct the suits/clowns produce, with no way of reinforcing the mechanism without hampering its function. Required positioning because of suit engineering / culture / hubris.
Actually it might be even more that that. The snake forms have the nose as well. It's possible that the nose is a primary sensory organ that just doubles as a potential temperature regulator. Since both the snakes and the meat suits have this it's possible that the meat suit's nose is also a sensory organ/ heatsink so the suit can overheat and/or suffer a cascade of errors leading to the suit self destructing. Hell it's possible the nose is an important nervous system that interfaces with the suit.
There's also the possibility that the meatsuit nose IS the nose of the snake form protruding from the suit, acting as something of a helmet of an astronaut, and if that gets cracked on somewhere like mars it could cause just as catastrophic of a problem, toxic environmwnt, explosive decompression of internal structures, etc.
And we see on our world that many animals have their primary and squishy sensory organs extremely close to their primary weapons for obtaining food, so it's entirely possible that this is just an unfortunate weakness of their biology, the klown equivalent to an eplosion damaging of our eardrums and causing extreme, possibly permanent hearing loss and diorientation, except even more catastrophic given the extremes of bodily function.
Given their potential ambush predation stratagy that they evolved from and utilize throughout the movie, it's likely that such a weakness was an acceptable one given the advantages it presented, much like our brain being an evolutionary weakness from an energy conservation standpoint as was as a potential problems resulting from both trauma and birthing difficulties. Perhaps their nose is the an organ that was the evolutionary leap their species used to dominate their planet and it's extreme growth (seen in the giant specimen.) It's possible their nose keeps growing, necessitating a larger meat suit to compensate, which might A. Impair cognitive function from sure sensory overload, or the suit itself requires the lion share of the processing power to move not leaving much for the snake inside.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" - Arthur C. Clarke
@@ComotoseOnAnime Their noses are a powerful, but delicate, sensory organ AND heat sink. 👆🏼This is brilliant, you should write a book, my friend!!
@@asahiizaku6464 Or if we want to go with them being extradimentional aliens, maybe the nose is just a divice that lets them interact with our plane of existence.... With it broken they just teliport home? (Also pretty sure everyone dies in the end when the Clowns pelt them with a final volley of those acid pies when they leave...
The variety in each Killer Klown’s appearance could be attributed to a case of Extreme Polyphenism. As a reminder Polyphenism is a condition in nature where multiple members that are a part of the same species exhibit a variety of different shapes, forms and abilities. This can be seen in ants and termites, as the insects can have multiple cast systems, each member of the colony being somewhat different in size, shape and having different roles in the colony, yet despite the radical differences all ants share the same DNA as their siblings and queen.
Just like humans, all of us are mishapen abominations, some just look less ugly then others :)
Yeah this seems to me to be a much more likely option. The stuff with the klowns all being Lyric from Sonic Boom is cool and all, but it probably is as simple as a wide gene pool.
@@youtubestudiosucks978 That's weirdly wholesome you mishapen abomination you :*
Sounds like humans lmao. from anorexic,skinny,average,fit,athletic,cant wipe ass body builder,chubby,fat, obese,Land whale.
@@youtubestudiosucks978 I'm far from an abomination, I'm close to the pinnacle of all species
Adding to my Polyphenism theory, the worm form is most likely a larval stage. Then over time they’ll metamorphose into a humanoid clown like fully adult form, and the adult forms they take depend on certain factors, such as the space they inhabit as infants, environmental conditions, and food.
That’s what I always thought too.
Kinda reminds me of the mutations that the Xenomorphs can go into depending on the host a Facehugger chooses
Yeah, that's what I thought at first as well, but Roanoke brought up some interesting points. For example, being shot in the body does absolutely nothing. The way Jumbo detaches his hands and grows new ones and the way his head spins a perfect 180 is another thing. They also seem to be able to just...DO things. Like Shorty being able to leap out of sight and return with boxing gloves...and then uppercut someone so hard his head popped off like a champagne cork or create a shadow puppet that can shrink humans down into his hands for him to put in a bag.
@@Bluesit32yeah, I thought the same thing too. if they couldn't due the things they did in the movie i'd be like sure, but the fact these things happened it doesn't make sense for everything to be organic.
This just makes me realize Slim literally made those people at the bus stop into larval clown seeds/eggs. Horrific.
The fact that regular clowns are based off these things is actually a cool concept
Blame it on the likes of the killer clowns 🤡 🎵
@@dylanthomas385 from outer space
Wait
The kloin
Clowns have been around longer than this movie you tool
This movie contributed greatly to my issues with clowns. I eventually got over it but there was a period of my life that real clowns may as well have been human eating aliens for how scared I would get.
Sammme
Ditto, I watched this movie when I was still a kid and never watched it again… it also didn’t help I used to have a clown lamp that would shock me…
These were literally the first clowns I ever saw. I think I was about five.
Well any real world cannibals would have actually not been prohibited from getting clown suits and clown college license if anyone that went snooping around in their cannibalistic habits would find that the flesh was legally acquired. Anyone around you could be a cannibal without you knowing, and well if Ted Bundy is anything to go off of then you might want to get some tattoos invisible places so that people who are cannibals will be driven Away by how your probably not going to be very good tasting.
I couldn't go near a clown for the better part of a year after this movie.
As for the weakness in the red noses, possibly that would either be a nerve cluster that controls bodily chemistry, such as the control of hormone production or enzyme generation. The nose must be able to keep the generation of the hormones/enzymes under control, and by destroying it the production of the substances becomes unregulated and starts overproducing them, leading to violent chemical reactions which results in a dangerous explosion.
Great theory it does seem feasible
I noticed a lot of strange similarities to spiders that felt relevant to point out. Spiders cocoon prey, break down tissue into liquid, and have an exoskeleton albeit non mechanical
A lot of animals use silks to cocoon various entities, be it themselves or other creatures.
“Never approach a beckoning clown”
Words to live by. You should put that on a shirt
Especially if it has something behind its back.
As long as it's not a red shirt!
RG managed to make logical sense out of the most illogical, senseless film ever made.
“You did it… You crazy son of a bitch, you did it…”
Exception being a hot clown girl with inflatable MAMMALIAN PROTUBERANCES!
I have to approach it in order to KILL IT WITH FIRE.
"Hello, 911? Some crazy guy dressed as a clown just assaulted me!" I feel like the police would at least consider this as a possibility, as opposed to "I saw a circus-themed spaceship with clown aliens and they were melting people in cotton candy cocoons!" Seriously. If you encounter something completely impossible to believe, and you want the cops to come help you, at least TRY to come up with a realistic threat to get their attention.
Exactly, I would have atleast said that they were normal clowns at first.
I can forgive Dave not doing that when he calls for backup because he was probably very shaken at having just barely survived and killed a Klown, and because he wanted to warn said backup that these clowns aren't normal clowns at all so that they don't just go at them like "Halt, you're under arrest!" and get zapped into cotton candy.
If anything Mooney is even more of an idiot because from the little the movie shows, the townsfolk calling him NEVER talk about the clowns being aliens, just that they're being bothered by clowns, but because he thinks it's a prank he doesn't bother at least looking into it.
In which case Dave could have just said "they look like clowns and are heavily armed."
I like how Mooney is such a curmudgeon, he thought the whole town was trying to mess with him.
Officer, there's an active shooter dressed as a circus clown at [name of location]. They're heavily armed, I personally witnessed them gun down several people before I fled the scene. I heard and saw explosions, so the shooter may be using pipe bombs or some other type of homemade IEDs. I would recommend you call in a SWAT team and secure the perimeter immediately."
^How you talk to the cops in a B-horror movie
The rolled up paper whistle thing is called a party horn. It's known by many other names, but "party horn" seems to be the most consistent.
What I took away from this was "never approach a beckoning clown", and I think that's just fantastic advice.
As someone who’s not really a “car guy”, it’s super endearing to see someone like Roanoke nerd out over cars and jeeps.
I'm a car guy who's also a science guy and movie guy, so Roanoke nerds out similarly to how I do 😆
@@ZombieWilfred I dont care about cars at all.
No
@@ZombieWilfred same here. Love basically all three topics, I'll have to sub to this channel sometime
You know, I have always had a theory about the people stored in the Balloons might be cattle. They probably came from far away and don't want to come back here multiple times, so the best solution is to get a farm going wherever they came from.
Yep, snatch up a few of the female and male specimins and make them into a food factory.
It wouldn't be the first alone movie where they see humans as food where they decide its a good idea to just keep a few humans alive to make little humans back on the home planet.
Yeah he says it's just Debbie's plot armor but other people were mentioned as being taken away in balloons, of course that could just be a supplement to justify the plot hole of not killing Debbie but it could also just be more unexplained lore.
Or they plan to see if they could cross species with them/ mate. For educational purposes
If they ever make a sequel, it should be revealed that America made a deal with these creatures to fatten us up on fast food, so that we are extra tasty to them.
I think it's important to mention here, plot armor aside, that while it doesn't get brought up a lot it's ONLY women who are reported as getting the balloon treatment. So I do think that it's this movie's version of the Mars Needs Women trope, but the cattle idea isn't off the table as I certainly wouldn't put it past the Klowns to want them for both reasons.
My take on the nose-triggered explosions: It’s their suits reacting to the clown equivalent of a cytokine cascade (in which our meatsuits self-destruct as a result of our immune systems freaking out), only with the suits being so tightly-linked to the clown biology, the resulting freakout causes an explosive chain reaction.
Imagine if Roanoke gets hired in the Lore writing team of a game or show.
I like your analysis but regarding the noses I think they are just an important organ for the clowns as the worms also have them. So I don't think they are part of the suits. The explosion is probably just a failsafe system to ensure their technology doesn't fall into the hands of other species.
Or it’s their suits reacting to the clown equivalent of a cytokine cascade (in which our meatsuits self-destruct as a result of our immune systems freaking out), only with the suits being so closely linked to the clown biology, the resulting freakout causes an explosive chain reaction.
It could also be that the explosion is biological, since they're a social species that might benefit from a post mortem defense that ensures the survival of the greater population
It could also be because they're killer klowns, from outer space.
Whod have thought that the killer klowns from outer space would share their view on technology with the predator
Aka blow everything straight to hell so they can't get it
@@chrisnicolet8910 Honestly, it's for the best. They have technology that can alter the size of people, give lift to a balloon animal, make shadows solid, and levitate themselves in impossible fashion.
Honestly
having them explained like that makes them a genuinly interesting alien species
yea I wonder who would win the clowns from outer space or the predators
@@NoahGooder Yautja would low diff.
Intelligence wise, the yautja win, they would be able to analyse the weaknesses of the klowns. And once they figure that out the klowns are pretty weak to them especially with the technology they hold.
@@ablacktemplar1971 u mean anything that can aim wins? Just pop nose and gg
@@SilentSpringz I'm aware, but he compared specifically the yautja from predator and the klowns on who would win in said scenario.
6:50 It's not really that weird that aliens exist, what is weird is that they live close enough to be physically able to visit us. And that they started visiting just when humanity came around and was starting to be aware of ideas of aliens.
Idea for the war against killer klowns:
Since their children happen to look like popcorn, then eating popcorn in front of them would be good psychological warfare.
And you make a realistic killer klown mannequin then put a device inside that will set fire to the mannequin.
Bonus points if you add a speaker the plays screams of pain
Incinerate some popcorn.
Decode their language and make recordings in that language of phrases "Run for your lives!" Or "The pain is not worth it!"
wont work, its implied they have telepathy to some degree. this is shown when slim shows up at debbies house and knows shes waiting for Mike, thus hiding his voice as mikes
@@pancakes8816 Fair point, but flamethrower would reduce the effort needed to aim for the klown noses. And it might burn the klown ships (assuming they're flammable in the first place
The noises Shorty made after Slug broke his bike made him weirdly endearing, like a little puppy who got kicked and needs a hug.
I always wanna hug the poor dude when his bike gets broken. Homicidal alien Klown or not, he didn't deserve that. And who knows, if Slug hadn't broken his bike, Shorty might've just moved on and not killed any of them.
@@EmberRain666he was gonna kill them no doubt, look at what they do to lure people in.
IMO they’re highly parasitic, which the original “clown” is the clown-Zilla which grew to massive proportions due to the abundance of cotton candy/food. That’s also why other clowns are afraid of it, since it likely engages in cannibalism.
It would also explain the lack of baby-clowns despite their popcorn-eggs going literally everywhere: sibling cannibalism.
The scene with the brothers and the alien females
Do the alien female got reproductive organs?
@@sir.roe-say If Roanake's theory about the clown bodies being bio-mechnical suits are true, then the alien females literally have sex dolls for bodies?
@@csmrookie9600
"Csm rookie's comment, "If Roanake's theory about the clown bodies being bio-mechnical suits are true, then the alien females literally have sex dolls for bodies?" TH-cam's censor is at work
(my reply)
yes I agree. It(sex doll suit/regular suit) should be sophisticated in terms of being a multi purpose suit
Huh, so the icecream brothers there got lucky and gotten themselves some clussy.
Some people in the 80's: "Hey let's make a horror comedy with aliens that look like clowns.
Roanoke: "Let's talk about the worm creatures using a biomechanical suit resembling clowns to walk around a hostile environment to wrap their prey in a predigestive enzyme to feed their young that come from popcorn."
This is why I love this channel.
If I remember correctly, an interesting hypothesis to the Fermi paradox is that no other species is as advanced as humanity. Some also suggest that this means humanity could very well be a precursor race meant to teach other species if this theory is true. That thought terrifies me though, mostly because of the accurate "Where just a bunch of apes splitting atoms and blowing stuff up" species summary you bring up so often.
A party horn (also a party blower, party pipe, party elephant, party blowout, noisemaker, party whistle, party honker, ta-doo-dah, noise popper, birthday kazoo, whizzer, blow tickler, tongue kazoo, or party snake) is a horn formed from a paper tube, often flattened and rolled into a coil, which unrolls when blown into, producing a horn-like noise. It is not consistently known by any single term in English, but by a number of local variations.
Thank you... I'm still not going to memorize any of it.
The list reminds me of Joe Dirt naming the firecrackers 😆😆 I love a good party horn 🥳🥳🥳
Gonna start calling my 🐓 a party snake
In France we call it "langue de belle-mère" litteraly "stepmother tongue"
Okay, can we talk about how much fun Roanoke must have doing his timestamps? They always get a laugh out of me
Then come as close as you like!
Just realised its a jojo reference
@@scimitar7617 glad somebody else noticed
Same
@Heteroslayer omg polak
The idea that these are bio suits meshes well with clown, uh…lore. Clowns pick their makeup design and register it (on a ‘clown egg’, which is basically a painted Easter egg that they draw the design on). No two can be the same. You have to be different than the others.
Also the thing Jumbo uses to body the sheriff may or may not have an actual name. I called them ‘noisemakers’, in Spanish they’re called ‘matasuegras’ but I think a lot of people say ‘party horn’.
So basically, the klowns are like Earthworm Jim:
Big worms in protective suits
Another potential reason for the vastly different appearances of the clowns is genetic absorption. The clowns could use some means to adopting genes from other species which would lend credence to the vastly different appearances. Bipedal intelligent creatures may just be preferred due to their specific traits potentially allowing them to achieve their technological level.
I was thinking something akin to the Goauld in Stargate. The little guys possess a host and control the host body. The biggest difference being the blending of genetics causing a clown appearance but different outward appearances. That would explain why the body can't take hits all day but not the clowns nose.
However writing wise it's likely just a reference to how clowns are all supposed to have unique appearances.
"Another potential reason is.. Something I pull out of my ass"
@@jeffumbach No, it comes down to clown genetics. 🧬
I mean, that makes the two getting some clownussy make more sense. (This video is the only thing ive seen regarding this movie, therefore i am making a guess.)
It's also entirely possible the only real difference is that their species preferred generic differences in their mates instead of similarity. Maybe their planet was so hostile and/or changing that forced them to prefer mutations in order to survive.
I always wondered what their Planet looked like and how they survived on it
and if they had their own female Klowns and what happened to them
@@bipicrevec1238 wasn't the female klowns literally the ones growing their chest to the brothers that fell in the ball pit? Or are they just male klowns that gave a buncha dudes lots of lipstick kisses and flaunt their growable balloon boobs-
Edit: O wait you meant the possibility of different clowns on different planets my bad, still an odd imagery either way tryna explain that part of biology-
@@aquafury664hmmmm I like the second possibility more
One thing I'm wondering is why they look like clowns in the first place. Either they were spying on humans before invading and took on the forms of clowns as psychological warfware, or they've visited Earth before and our idea of clowns were based on them.
This is probably one of the most fun theories I've ever heard. The research and explanation make this feel legit!
WAIT, hold up, you mean the Killer Klowns are actually snakes using the human equivalent of Iron Man's Power armor?!
being a space version of MGR's Desperado Enforcement? it would explain a LOT the differences and their powers.
Oh man, I never imagined i'd see the day where someone suggests the space clowns from an 80's flick are actually Snakes in Power Armor.
I would like to propose the theory that Debby wasn’t cottoned candyied since she was picked to be used for genetic hybridization. She is amongst the few that are only popconrd and not killed. If we’re take the clown worms appearance in they are very similar to chest bursters. And if they go from planet to planet collecting genetic samples eg whole persons it could explain the variation and even why the Brest clown girls exist as they do.
Basically the "I think we all know what's going on here"
I think that theory is too far fetched. We can see that the Klowns already have a effective way of reproduction. I don’t see why they would go through the hassle of creating hybrid Klowns. I think there are natural female Klowns however it seems like only the males do the work so that’s probably why most of the Klowns on the ship are males.
@@cgimichaelmyers2806 could be that they been doing this for so long its just natural and well why fix something that aint broken
@@cgimichaelmyers2806 yeah really it's just because she has plot armor. We do see a few other balloons during the "parade" though before we find out what they're really for.
@@jeffumbach We also see some balloons when they first arrive maybe they're trying to make a human farm and that's why they take some humans instead of turning them into cotton candy
17:13 I love hearing him try not to crack up during the rapid delivery of "you and your boys"
Thank you for this. This was the lore I didn't realize my childhood needed.
My initial thoughts of the 'suit' idea, is that the worm would kinda just...slot in to the body, after the head grows a bit. Picture the worm-clown with a full head, and the body of the worm would just be inserted like a spine for the suit?
So basically earthworm jim klowns?

This is actually the second KCFOS video to be recommended to me today. I don't if it's because of a recent popularity boom or because TH-cam remembered i watched alot of stuff about them a whole while ago.
Either way, i got to watch another Roanoke video and that's always a plus in my book... especially looking at the chapters down in the timeline.
I remember this movie from daycare, actually. I was four and we had this, all the Jaws movies and Alien on VHS. Oddly the only thing I developed a fear of was sharks, probably because I met one in the ocean that same year...

@@Areaninetyone Why are you trying to gatekeep the liking towards a certain movie?
I think what also could add to the extreme diversity amongst the species actually has something to do with their feeding habits. Why no two clowns look alike may not have always been the case. But over time, their ability to feed across the cosmos actually has lent to their species diversity. You notice that they melt down their food before they eat it, that implies degrading the molecular bonds between what keeps us together. Is it so far fetched to say that as they develop they actually take from the DNA of what they consume to some degree? This would keep their gene pool diverse enough, it would also credit why they start the same but can develop so differently in appearance, paired with their indeterminate growth this could give an extreme variety of clowns once they have gone cosmic which is the stage we see them, this also could lend to how powerful they are, as they acquire genetic benefits of the various species they consume, growing accordingly and why it would benefit them to make snack stops to keep evolving as they grow older and bigger. This wouldn't at all take away from the nose weakness either as that could be the equivalent to our heart, only their end from losing it is vastly different and well alien to us.
Granted, I like your theory too as they seem to also possess inconsistent capabilities that fits their technology so it would also make total sense they are in clown mech suits.
I think in order for these snakelike creatures to balance properly in the suits they would need some kind of gyroscope to keep everything level. Their species just isn't built for that kind of orientation and movement. The hardest part of building a robot is keeping it from falling over, and gyroscopes usually help fix that. If that was located in the nose area, then that would explain why destroying it would make it spin out of control and explode.
This was the most fun I’ve had watching this type of movie exploration video. I climbed right inside your head and bought a week’s worth of groceries knowing I’d be there for awhile. Great video dude.
Not a bad theory. My only problem with this is the popcorn kids still have noses, unless the suit is somehow grown along with the development of the children... Also if your designing a space suit, you probably wouldn't put a major point of failure right in front of your face. One clown accidentally walks into a closing door and there goes the space ship
Maybe the body inflates over time
I personally just stick with that they generate limbs as they grow like amphibians.
Actually that explains the revolving doors and why they get sucked through them. Less chance to bump your nose. But maybe it's only sensitive to metals, and their ship isn't metal like we know it to be on earth. Also...with the larvae having noses, I was thinking of it as like, a natural part of their biology but they grafted something inside of it to connect with the suit since its right on their face. it would be easy to see someone trying to attack them
They also clearly take joy from what they do and often seem to prolong there kills. The one at the police station could have iced everyone as soon as it entered but prolonged there demises. I think there stop of was probably just to top up there supplies since they killed multiple people with out turning them into food. They probably don't feel empathy at all and enjoy the hunt and kill.
Where's the yautja when you need them? 😂
Maybe fear makes you taste better to them.
@@Twulfbynight Predator vs Killer Clowns, this needs to be made.
They're an intelligent, sentient species. They likely do things to have fun because entertainment may be an intrinsic trait amongst all sentient species. Due to societal and hierarchal differences, their form of fun appears barbaric to us. It may not be that they specifically enjoy killing and torturing, just that it may be what they developed around.
@@owlobsidian6965
I think that the Klowns would be afraid to go into a conflict with Yautja, let alone fight with them.
because they know that Yautja could kill them all
That's why they chose Humans weak prey how they thought

PS love ur vids man!
I would have never imagined myself sitting through a technology breakdown of Killer Klowns.....plus loving it! Great video, thanks!
I luckily never grew up with a fear of clowns but this movie freaked me out even more than IT. I remember turning it on as a kid thinking that the title sounded funny and I regretted that.
I was scared of clowns for a time when i was a kid because of the clown doll from 1980s Poltergeist (i don't remember the exact year that movie came out, feel free to tell me if you know)
@FighterX 98
Poltergeist was ‘82 and yeah fuck that clown doll lol
you clearly never read the it book its much scarier than the film better than this stupid shit anyway
31:20 or their noses could serve as their brainstem. When you go hunting and shot an animal in the brain, their body often flings about for a bit as every muscle in their body fires off like elastic bands under tension being released.
So destroying the nose could essentially equate to destroying the control system for the suit, sending it haywire thus the erratic movement and uncontrollable energy discharge.
I greatly appreciate your channel. Covering media in an entertaining and educational way, and looking at even ridiculous or bizarre creatures through a serious lens.
I truly love these detailed explanations about movies like this. It's funny because I highly doubt that the person that created it put any thought into this whatsoever so it's kind of nice to see it from an actual intelligent perspective.
Great job. You took a weird ass movie and made it even weirder! You turned Killer Klowns from Outer Space to Bio-Mechanical Klown Gundams piloted by alien clown worm larvae.
I hadn't seen this movie at the time *yet* (fortunately), but I was in the hospital for a surgery as a kid and here in NL we have this thing called 'Clini clowns' supposed to cheer up children in their recovery. For me at least this concept went over horribly(and I imagine for many others too) and I freaked out and the nurses had to intervene and flag my room as a no clown zone.
After that I happened to watch this movie and the old IT and that cemented clowns as an absolute Nope for me to this day.
And Now I suddenly remember being freaked out by a weird ass Doctor quacking like a maniacal Donald Duck when I was 4.
At least I now have Context.
Where's NL
@@douggaudiosi14 the Netherlands i assume
That sounds horrific. I never really understood why some adults think children liked clowns. I was terrified of clowns as a child, and that was way before I knew about stuff like IT or this movie. I can imagine the terror you felt when a clown entered your hospital room.
Makes since that their ambush predator roots would evolve with them into the clown get up and all their surprise weapons and traps. Knocking on the door delivering a pizza, the shadow puppets, the indivisible boat mobile, the puppet shows, etc. It's all confusing, surprising, kinda silly too so when they get yeah you don't see it coming.
I'm so old I remember the commercial for this movie giving me nightmares. Those worm clowns were not traumatizing at all! Also, still going to suggest the Beach House. More weird crap from the sea for you to overthink.
I remember watching this movie with my uncle as a tiny kid in the early 90’s and remembered it as the “clown movie”. Funny enough I was never afraid of clowns but I am deathly scared of aliens. Ironic considering the clowns in this movie were aliens. Fantastic movie and I implore anyone to see this movie
I find that very fascinating! Fear of aliens is something I've never seen before...What about aliens scare you? Is it the fear of the unknown? Anihilation by them?
yeah same here but i also have a stupidly crippling fear of the unknown/dark/deep water...
@@alexfc679 There was this found footage movie back in the mid 90’s called The Mcpherson Abduction. It’s basically a “home video” of a family’s encounter with aliens. Scared the hell out of me
@@alexfc679 lookup xenophobia
@@youtubestudiosucks978 while comparisons can be drawn, I don't think that's exactly it. It can also be how we've grown so used to being the apex predator that the idea of something hunting us became very terrifying! Though yes, many monsters and other spooky creatures do have their roots in xenophobia and racism, you just really have to keep a critical eye, but still enjoy these things, most definitely removed from the roots or just with that in mind
Hey Roanoke, you should look at the aliens from the X-Com video game series and how they were altered with human genes
I feel bad for him when he dose the episode on the Viper's
@@ahardworker2154 feet where
That better not be an adult fun time series, I've already got one episode out of my alternative account that didn't simply cease because my old tablet can't seem to avoid struggle every single time that I post one. Stay away from the Nyakumi Neko crap, that's my content source.
UFO: Aftermath game, that is related to X-COM series, might be also interesting to cover from biology stand point especially in context of "transgenants" - enemy type that is basically Earth lifeforms that were altered by alien spores - like for example giant hermit crabs that use rusted car husks for shell and shoot electricity.
@@fed0t38 The old games seem so interesting.
I love this movie and I am glad that you reviewed it because... I always thought that guy under the car should have stayed put as well. Thing is, this time I see the cotton candy coccoon by the car. He had to run. They were going to come over to pick it up and likely see him. He shouldn't have run that way though. Stay low and move along the sidewalk to ge around the corner and then bolt.
Fun fact: All The Klowns (or at least the main ones) have names
Jumbo-Klown who cuts Farmer's career short and makes a puppet out of Mooney.
Rudy-Klown who causes a ruckuss in the pharmacy and the first Klown whom Mike and Debbie lay their eyes on.
Slim-Shadow Puppet Klown with a knack for impersonating voices.
Shorty-Short Klown who knocks that guy's block off.
Chubby-Fat Klown who drinks from the cocoon and just kinda vibes in the background for the most part.
Spikey-Puppet Show Klown with the balloon blood hound
Bibbo-Klown who jumps on the car as the teenagers/college students try to escape and delivers a Shorty-roni pizza.
Fatso-Other Fat Klown who gives a Valentines Gift to some random middle age lady.

This is actually my *All-time favorite movie* 🤗😍 It has literally EVERYTHING a movie needs: practical effects, cheese & camp, & a *KILLER* sound (from outer space) 😂🤣
Bro I feel that whole aging part,genuinely kills me inside to think the early 2000's were my childhood and now here it is 2022.
I love how you know all these cars! I’m a huge car enthusiast and was laughing 😂
Your description of the Clown's body being some kind of armor was "on the nose" and makes the most sense.
I LOVED this movie when I was a kid and being able to watch it with my own kid decades later was amazingly satisfying and surreal- I felt so freaking old lol sigh
The arthritis setting in eh?
@@RoanokeGaming hey can you cover the morphology of the cryptids from call of duty Ghost extinction mode at some point
@@deadman9335 ok
@@RoanokeGaming when my son was making fun of the special effects in the movie I literally caught myself saying "back in my day"😂😭And back in my day that shite was terrifying!!🤣😭
I can remember watching this movie over and over again as a young man my mom brought it home for me and said here’s a great movie for you. It’s got clowns from Outer space. I know for a fact she knew exactly what it was about. I was born in 81 you’re not doing so bad and you’re crushing it on your videos keep up the good work
actually excellent analysis I don't think the movie makers expected such a dissection as you have delivered.
I love your videos
it hits right into my "wanna see someone smart talking in smart way about something stupid" mood
Several of the klown heads were actually repurposed for the troll costumes in Ernest Scared Stupid. Minus the noses. Not a bad flick from what I remember.
If I remember correctly it was the slim and jumbo masks
I do not know if I would say I enjoyed this... like i enjoy you and you breaking everything down and making it science-y, but damn, I still have that deep fear of the clowns, they're so unsettling !!!
But I love all your videos and what you do! Keep up the amazing work! Also made so much sense about the nose and why all the clowns look different, very well explained!
Ah yes, I remember seeing this movie. Very particular memories associated with it, including working at Quiznos, a vegetable dip platter, and meeting a psychic that I dated a few times. Ah, fun times in Roanoke!
I remember watching this with my uncle at 4 years old on SciFi one afternoon when he was babysitting. Only saw about half the movie and never watched it since, but the memories of it are still so vivid.
The thing you couldn't remember is known as a blow tickler, or a party horn. I absolutely loved this movie when it first came out. It still hold up too. It's so out there that it's just pure fun to watch.
Don't you blow my tickler
Great this was awesome I cant wait for the game when I seen the game trailer I got goosebumps! Keep up the good work bro!
LOOOOOOOOVE killer klowns from outer space. I watched it all the time when I was a kid. Now I watch it wt my daughters every October. I miss the 80s movies.
Cool facts the original ending to the movie was actually meant to have all of those three characters die but the audience that saw it in the theaters wanted the characters to live so in the end they just changed it
The head may be the actual head if the organic creature. You'll notice the worm formnhas different colored hair already. They may even take over a body by inserting themselves over the spinal column and start rebuilding the body from there.
Just reminded me of the death animation of the Divider create from Dead Space, the head has a prehensile spine it can choke you with and if you don't get it off of you in time it severs your head and places itself on the stump and you see it piloting your body for a few seconds before the YOU DIED screen shows.
Thanks for doing what you do Roanoke 👍.
I love this movie! I remember watching as kid and falling in love with the idea of alien clowns coming to earth to eat us, it made for some great inspiration for character creation. Thank you Killer Clowns!
I didn't think it to be possible that one could be flagged for copyright of an entirely different movie. That's definitely some bad luck LOL
IMO, better theory for the evolution: they intentionally engineered themselves with the intent of optimizing their anatomy for their suits. They might've started with more effective manipulative appendages, but at some point they chose to simplify their biology and rely more heavily on their suits.
Yeah , that makes more sense, than the notion that they built the "spacesuits" while being effectively a "head on a wormlike body"
So they could actually be somewhat humanoid, but not truly... interesting theory.
@@cymes82 This was my thought too. Even humans in space we are seeing a lot of muscle atrophy for example. My personal belief is if humans spend a prolonged time in zero g we'll replace our legs with some kind of tail or fin to assist with guiding propulsion, naturally giving some force and helping with balance.
They could be so advanced they've spent enough time in space, devolved their usual limbs, and left themselves as a more worm/snake like creature and yeah. Kind of just continued to optimize suits as these mutations happened.
This is truly one of IF not my favorite movie I’m glad your covering it (:
one of my fav horror ever! Maybe do one about critters? I miss those little guys!
As a kid, this was my favorite horror movie. Even though there was some movies that I definitely could not watch, there were plenty that I could with no problem.
Every time Killer Klowns came on television, I watched it. It has some amazing behind the scenes stories like the actor who played Mooney being a Hollywood veteran and a well known comedian having only a few minutes of screen time (Christopher Titus in the beginning of the movie. He’s the kid walking with the grocery bags and sneakily drinking beer).
I am also one of the ones who are still holding out hope for that sequel 😂
The movie is filled with lots of easter eggs and trivia. It’s why it has such a cult following.
Knowing that dude, that was probably just Titus going about his day at that age and he happened to get caught on film sneaking beer. 😄
This is such a underrated movie. Back in the 80s my folks owned a video store so I had the opportunity to watch a shit ton of movies and this was one of them. I have it on VHS and last year I found it on Bluray
One of our favorite movies to re-watch over and over when it came out, me and my friends loved this movie. Like the idea of it being bioengineered suits .
Wonderful vid. I really had fun watching it.
I always love your channel and how you can spin literal space aliens that look like clowns and turn around and explain it with intense logical science. Love it!
never in my life have i expected the scientific method to be used where the killer klowns were concerned. that's awesome lol
Can't wait for the game to come out. It looks like it will be a ton of fun
Literally the only thing I enjoy more than crummy monster flicks is scientific over-analysis of said flicks ❤️
A treat to watch, as always!
The Three Body Problem book series actually provides a viable and terrifying answer to the Fermi Paradox: the universe is a vast Dark Forest and all are simultaneously predator and prey. So the smart ones hide bc revealing your location and existence to others invited possible extinction from any society of greater technological and military advancement. Those who sent out missives of peace and unity ultimately were devoured by a Bigger Fish, so to speak. And those who hid and kept quiet in the forest are the ones who didn’t get killed and their valuable resources assimilated.
I'm so happy that you covered this movie. Killer clowns has been my favorite movie since I first saw it on vhs back in 2000
love your videos Roanoke. This movie is hilarious! Thanks for the breakdown.
I really enjoyed this i must have too much time on my hands lol
