(1988)

In addition to killing numerous people in comically sadistic ways, the evil alien clowns are capturing people and storing them in cocoons that look like cotton candy. Like vampires, the clowns use straws to sip blood from the humans in those cocoons.

Police officer Dave Hanson (John Allen Nelson) discovers the clowns’ one weak spot: their noses! If their noses are popped, the clowns explode. When the clowns capture Debbie (Suzanne Snyder) Dave goes to her rescue with Mike Tobacco (Grant Cramer) and the ice cream vendor Terenzi brothers. When they reach the clowns’ space ship, they encounter JoJo the giant alpha clown, who looks like a marionette. The giant clown blows up the Terenzi brothers’ ice cream truck. Mike rescues Debbie, but JoJo captures Dave and takes him on the space ship, which starts to fly away.

Dave pops JoJo’s nose with the pin on the back of his police badge. This causes the spaceship to explode- but Dave survives by hiding inside a miniature clown car. Better still, the Terenzi brothers survived by hiding in the freezer section of the ice cream truck.

All seems well, but then pies come down from the sky and hit Mike and Debbie in the face, as clown voices laugh.
