If you are like many and harbor an irrational fear of clowns, then the new multiplayer survival horror Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game may not be up your alley. However, while the creepy entertainers seem like perfect nopes to chase you in-game, it may interest you to know that the game is actually based on a popular ’80s B-movie.
In a unique spin, the game will offer you the choice of teaming up with the clowns to help them harvest your fellow humans or save the planet from the colorful alien invasion.
Developed by Teravision Games and published by Good Shepherd Entertainment, the survival horror Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game promises to be the asymmetrical multiplayer horror experience featuring a battle between the titular clowns and the residents of Crescent Cove.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a B-Movie Classic

The B-movie starred Grant Cramer, Suzanne Snyder, John Allen Nelson, and John Vernon, but the real stars of the show were the clan of extraterrestrial clowns that invaded earth to capture, kill and harvest the citizens of Crescent Cove.
