Three local mental patients are denied their circus privileges (I shit you not, that is the reason) so they break out of the asylum and make it to the festivities anyways. Arriving late, they kill three clowns and dress up as them. Now all made up and looking for fun, they terrorize three brothers who have been left home alone for the night. Forever tarnished late eighties horror flick has become a little difficult to find but is not really worth any effort to track down. Director Silva sexually molested 12-year-old lead actor Nathan Forest Winters during the production, making for some uncomfortable viewing. On top of the icky awfulness that took place behind the scenes, the film itself is no great shakes. The three lead actors (including a young Sam Rockwell) are endlessly annoying and the screenplay is a mess. Some wonderfully creepy imagery is captured and the head clown is menacing but unless you have a severe case of coulrophobia this movie may not do anything for you.
