B is for Best! (a top five b-movie list!)

The combination of guns, gallons of multiple coloured fluids splashing against the screen and some o’ worst ( by worst I mean best!) special effects ever to hit the big screen. Well, actually a lot these movies probably never really made it to the big screen. These genre bending flicks deserved ta’ be recognized…
5. Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988):
• Just read the name again and tell me you don’t want to see this movie
Director: Steven Chiodo (Nothing else really)
Description: Finally the truth about clowns is out! Beneath their smirky sinister grins and wildly patterned clothes are clever killers from out of this world. The “juxtaposition of their toy-store arsenal and malevolent intent proves to be a tasty combination” (Los Angeles Times) in this killer entertainment that will leave you fearing these big-top creatures for good. A spaceship looking like a circus tent lands in a field near a small town, signaling the attack of deviant, red-nosed, balloon-twisting psychos from another world who plan to annihilate by turning people into cotton candy! Luckily, the town’s teen citizenry decides to fight back and teach the cosmic bozos a lesson. But these klowns are no klutzes, turning popcorn, peanuts and caramel corn into playful but deadly weapons of madcap destruction and mayhem!
4. Feast (2006):
• One liners, Guns and Henry Rollins. One of the best intro scenes I have seen in years.

2. Dawn of the Dead (1979):
• Driving through a mall and zombies!
Director: Goerge A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead)
