Todd Sheets, the Master of Splatter, the man who brought us Dreaming Purple Neon wrote and directed a little movie titled Clownado.
And I watched the hell out of it.
First things first, forget all your preconceived notions of how the plot would eventually get us to the tornado full of clowns. You would be wrong. We open with Big Ronnie, the head clown and operator of the circus catching his wife with another man. And *spoiler alert* he murders the fuck out of him. This sends Savannah, Ronnie’s wife and circus performer down a path of revenge throughout the whole film.
You’re probably asking, “how the hell do we get to the tornado of clowns already?” Because I was asking that same question at about thirty minutes in. We finally get to it at 39:41 after Savannah has a witch curse Big Ronnie and his gang of sadistic clowns. The curse goes awry (I’m assuming) and Clownado was born. Big Ronnie and his goons are extra evil now and ready to blow up more than balloon animals.
For the rest of the film, we are watching a group of townsfolk consisting of a cowboy, an Elvis impersonator, a teenager, her estranged father, and a local stripper run for their lives from the demon clowns, all while being in the middle of an epic, gory battle between Savannah and Big Ronnie.
I recommend you check out Clownado if you enjoy the bloodier things in life, since the special effects in this movie are what really make it stand out among other B-horror and horror comedy flicks. Sheets made sure we were up close and personal with the blood and guts and shot the scenes with very tight frames. This movie isn’t for everyone, but if you want something to have handy in your “something outrageous to watch with a couple of friends” category, look no further.
