Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Four friends don clown costumes and kidnap one of their old girlfriends in what's supposed to be an innocent Halloween prank. Tensions flare quickly, but old jealousy and resentment turn to suspicion and terror when the group realizes that a clown among them has a real ax to grind - and wants them dead! Is a murdering red-nosed stranger stalking the hapless kidnappers, or is one of their own is determined to make sure this is one prank that will make them die laughing? Part psychological thriller, part edge-of-your-seat horror, The Clown Murders features John Candy (Stripes, Spaceballs and Planes, Trains & Automobiles) in an unforgettable role that's not to be missed!

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a though one, July 17, 2007
This review is from: The Clown Murders (DVD)
This movie is very creepy and the clown killer is awesome, very creppy and provides the best parts of the film when he actually shows up. But the cover art is rather decieving, it looks amazing but to show a cool graveyard with a clown & Machette full of blood makes people rather dissapointed after seeing this film. Over all a strange film that as the previous reviewer stated is unsure of exactally what it wants to be, if the Clown was in it more and had more scary parts like he was limited to this film would have gotten 5 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Bit Messy But Weird and creepy Enough To Earn A Spot In My Collection!, June 24, 2007
By creatureart (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Clown Murders (DVD)
"The Clown Murders"(1976) featuring an early performance from a young and un-funny John Candy is one of those foggy oddball but some-what creepy films that only the 1970's could cough up. The film seems like it doesn't quite know what it wants to do with itself yet still manages to have a eerie feel to it that seems to consistantly grow throughout. The climax, even though pretty tame held up to todays standards(though all over the place as well) still makes you feel somewhat dirty & abused...like being forced to witness something that you shouldn't have.
In the end a film like this may not be for everyone but for those of you who (like myself) really have a sweet tooth for those obscure lost 70's weirdy flicks "The Clown Murders" is pretty much a keeper.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Down Murders, July 7, 2010
This review is from: The Clown Murders (DVD)
The Clown Murders (1976) was a complete waste of time; vulgar, little point, no conclusion, simply terrible.

The slow moving plot underwhelmed me. The situation of the characters was impossible to believe. I felt the only excitement of this movie comes when the Clown makes or attempts a kill. The dialogue was so unsatisfactory and the characters are set up to be generally hated. The dialogue was delivered like a bad soap opera show left on the cutting room floor. All of the actors should not have been hired.

The characters are all one-dimensional caricatures (I know that's the point, it doesn't mean I have to like it though), the rambling, wandering story doesn't go anywhere, and when all is said and done, the movie doesn't even really end so much as it just stops.

There is absolutely no redeeming value in The Clown Murders (1976). I really could not be entertained by it. One minute into the movie and I felt like turning it off.

Skip the movie and a book.
