The Plot

Mysterious glowing object lands in an elderly man’s garden. He says “We’re going to be rich!” and “It’s our lucky day” – he thinks that he is going to get money because the object had landed in his backyard. He investigates his backyard and discovers a circus tent. Shortly after discovery, he  gets an electric shock from the circus tent . A clown appears and shoots him with a zapper gun. 

A couple, Mike and Debbie, also investigate the glowing object. They head towards the circus tent and go inside. Debbie says “This is bizarre…” . They shortly after come across a green door, press some red buttons, and then go in. Debbie thinks they’re in the shooting star that they had just saw. Clowns later appear out of nowhere and chase them. Clown picks up a balloon and transforms it into a balloon-shaped dog - so that they can find the teenagers who disappeared out of their sight. Debbie says to go to the police and report what they saw to Dace (her ex-boyfriend) who works in the police department. The policemen do not believe them and Curtis (the chief) mimics what they’re saying.

Later we are shown, a scene of a man – watching a puppet show. He laughs because one of the puppets had zapped the other, which made it disappear. Clown pops up from underneath the puppet show stand, and zaps the man - making him also disappear.

Dave takes the Debbie home, with Mike also in the car. Debbie goes in her house, whilst Mike gets back in the cop car to go and show Dave what they saw. They go to the area and see that there is no circus tent there. Dave arrests Mike for allegedly wasting police time.

The next scene shows a group of men tormenting one of the clowns on a bike. One of them mimics him asking if he can ride his bike. The Clown says no. He then asks if he can beep the horn on his bike. The Clown says yes.  The man unexpectedly crushes his bike, whilst the other people laugh. The clown literally decapitates the man’s head, after he asks if he’s going to ‘knock his block off.’

The scene after shows another clown attempting to lure a young girl towards him in a fast-food restaurant. Her mother doesn’t realise this, so when the girl gets up, she tells her that she isn’t going anywhere until she has finished her food. The clown growls at the girl through the window.

A Lady calls the Chief saying that there is a clown at her front door. He doesn’t believe this so then hangs up the phone. A store clerk also calls the police department, telling the same officer that he thinks he has a problem – because there is a clown in his store buying various items and heading for the till.

A clown entertains a group of elderly people. The people are amused by the tricks of the clown. Dave and Mike witness the clown gulping the elderly people up. Dave calls the chief (Curtis), and tells him that there are clowns going around killing people. The chief doesn’t believe him and thinks that he and everybody else is trying to drive him out of the police force.

In another scene, a clown walks into the chief’s office. The chief sees him and tells him to come towards him. The clown pulls out a bunch of flowers, which actually appears to be a water gun, and squirts him with water. The chief cuffs the clown, for which the clown then separates its cuffed hands from its arm and walks off, so that Curtis is just holding the hands that he had cuffed. As a result of this, the chief puts the clown in a cell, but the clown grabs the chief’s neck through the bars of the jail.


Dave goes into the station and into the chief’s office, where he discovers the chief being held by the clown. The clown kills the chief in front of the Dave.  After this, the clown starts to walk towards the Dave. He then pulls out his gun and shoots the clown in the nose. The clown then disappears. 

Mike tells Rich and Paul (ice cream men) that clowns are going around killing people, which obviously they didn't believe until they had seen it for themselves. They head to Debbie's house to pick her up. However, Debbie is attacked by clowns (who have formed from popcorn that was once on the floor) she sprays them with hairspray, hoping that it would kill them - but it didn't. She is kidnapped by the clowns and put into a ball. When Mike, Rich, and Paul arrive, they see that Debbie has been captured. They speed off to the amusement park (where they assume she was taken) and encounter Dave in his police car along the way. Dave follows the ice cream van - but the police car had broken along the way. Therefore, Dave joined the rest of the men in the ice cream van. 


They arrive at the amusement park, and enter a strange building. They discover cocoons (made from candyfloss) containing dead people, who the clowns feed off. Mike and Dave had lost the other two (Rich and Paul) in the building. Mike and Paul later find Debbie trapped in the ball and burst it so that she is released. This alerts the clowns, for which they managed to escape -  by going through a sequence of doors. Once they enter another room, lots of clowns surround them so they have nowhere to go. To the rescue, Rich and Paul smash their way through the building with the ice cream truck and talk on the megaphone claiming to be something that wanted them to stop and let them go. The clowns listen to this, and stand still. Later, Klownzilla (the boss clown) slowly lowers down from the ceiling and head towards the ice cream van. Mike, Dave and Debbie flee the van and run off. However, Rich and Paul got back into the van. Klownzilla picked up the van and threw it, causing it to explode and supposedly  killing Rich and Paul. The state police arrive at the scene and surround the area. As a result of this, a shooting star (as seen before) appears again, but explodes. This causes fireworks to occur. Later, Rich and Paul arrive (who we thought were dead) telling the others that they had gotten in the freezer with the ice cream. The film finishes with the protagonists getting splattered by pies.
