Anybody remember this weird movie from the 80s? I'm pretty sure the ending was formative to my fetish. I wish Suzanne Snyder took a more direct hit, but still not bad.
It's a great clip, without a doubt. It is a shame the lady lead didn't get as direct a hit as her two male costars, but still a great set up. For my money, though, the security guard who gets literally buried with pies is the stand out pie scene of this film.
Oh what I would do to see a beautiful woman get the barrage like the security guard got. I always thought that this movie had the best quality pie barrage with the best quality pies. No producer here has ever come close to recreating the quality to this scene and it suck even more since it was a dude in this movie who got the barrage and Suzanne Schneider got a poor quality hit.
As far as remaking this scene or at least staging a similar barrage, I think a few producers have come pretty close as far as quality of pies and level of mess. Messygirl's 40th Birthday barrage and an old PieFightGirls/Amateur Pies video of a model named Tuesday had some quality pies that left each woman covered in a fashion similar to the security guard. I'd also recommend PieFight Girls final "Blonde Bon Voyage" video which has an extended barrage of pies to Blondie's face.
What Killer Klowns had going for it was fast, snappy editing from multiple angles, and now doubt several stage hands to toss said pies.
OMG YES! This was such a great movie. When I was 10 my mom wouldn't let us kids watch it because she thought it would terrify me. Later that summer my dad let us watch it when we visited him. I used to wait until everyone went to sleep and sneak into the living room and watch the scene until we had to return it to the movie rental. Thanks for posting, this is a scene that inspired my Surprise! skit. I always fantasized about a pie dropping onto my face from above

AWESOME story! I agree the pie drop is amazing and should be incorporated more often as a gag! I was inspired by that gag from the 1986 YCDTOTV "Enemies & Paranoia" episode where they all got pied from above in the final scene. Loved that Surprise! skit,Creamy. I had forgotten about this Killer Klowns scene but it's a good one.

You mean kind of like this?
Hold up, I don't recognize this shot. Did you make another video?!
If memory serves, there's a very similar ending to another 80s sci-fi movie - bear with me here. I used to think it was "Hardware Wars" (a spoof of Star Wars), but it's not that. And it's definitely not "Slapstick of Another Kind", although title-wise, you'd think it was.
It used to run on HBO a lot, and I want to say it ends with a scene of the lead guy and girl, could be two guys and a girl, looking at the sky and pies fall. This could be a fever dream where I'm mixing that movie up with "Killer Klowns", which I definitely enjoyed but do wish had more female-pie-faced action. Still, hard to knock such a creative movie, and one where 80s teen movie staple Suzanne Snyder gets pied.
Anyway, back to the movie I mentioned -- i want to say it had "UFO" in the title, but all I can think of is "Unidentified Flying Oddball", and that definitely isn't it. It could have been a short film, like a 20-30 minute thing HBO would run when they had gaps between movies back in the 80s. But I recall seeing it several times.
If anyone else recalls this, please save me so I don't feel like I'm crazy?
I do love the "Enemies and Paranoia" pieings on YCDOTV; wasn't that an Alanis pieing? God, that was like an "And the heavens opened..." moment for me.
Okay you've all restored my crush on both Suzanne Snyder and John Allen Nelson and now I'm having dreams about pies dropping onto my face from out of nowhere. Definitely going to have to recreate these scenes somehow Going to be masturbating now, do not disturb. Unless you have pies

I found said movie on YouTube. No female WAM that I saw.

I found it on YouTube as well, and you're 100% right - so fascinating what the brain/memory can do after many years. I now recall that i was always very frustrated there's lots of shaving cream and some pies present, but zero female WAM. But in my memory, there WAS female WAM - I was obviously conflating the final sequence in the short with the one in KILLER KLOWNS. And yet, I remember watching it over and over, like I was...somehow hoping to "will" female pieings into existence in it? I'm glad to be able to clear that one out of my "Great Lost Pies" memory banks though.
Anyhoo...back to Suzanne Snyder! *Sigh*
I did hear that the Chiodos, who did KILLER KLOWS, were/have been trying to do a sequel, and/or a "sequel series" for SyFy Channel etc. for years. (They did the CRITTERS, too, which did get rebooted a couple years ago.)

Such an inventive concept/world.

I am not exaggerating when I say that I have heard rumors about a killer clowns sequel for the last 20 years. At this point, I seriously doubt it's ever going to happen. I would be first in line to see it at the theater, though. I still enjoy popping in the DVD from time to time. It's a Bizzarre movie.
