KILLJOY is yet another crappy "killer clown" movie. It could easily have been called CLOWN IN THE 'HOOD or HOMEY CLOWN, because the characters and dialogue are all ethnic, inner-city cliches.
The movie begins with a meek teenager named Michael trying to make a date with the girlfriend of a tough gang leader. Unfortunately, the gang leader and his two cronies show up, beat the hell out of Michael, and step on his glasses. So, what does Michael do? He goes home, sits on the floor in the middle of a circle of candles, and tries to bring a clown doll to life by saying, "Come alive, Killjoy! Come alive!"
For some reason, Killjoy doesn't come to life right away. But he does show up a year later driving an ice cream truck. He lures people into the back of the truck and teleports them to a warehouse in another dimension (at least I think that's what was happening). Inside the warehouse, Killjoy taunts, maims, and kills his victims.
The big question here is, why do filmmakers keep cranking out terrible "killer clown" movies? In addition to KILLJOY, I recently purchased MR. JINGLES (which I mentioned in this forum about a week ago), and FEAR OF CLOWNS (which I have not watched yet, but I assume it's bad. I also own CAMP BLOOD, which is really bad . . . and in 3-D! And of course KILLER CLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE, which is bad but fun.
And, in case you had any doubt, KILLJOY is a Charles Band, Full Moon production! And you can buy a Killjoy action figure on Full Moon's website:

And to make matters worse, there is a sequel to this dreadful movie:

KILLJOY.......I beg your pardon..... :teddyr:
This movie was so painfully bad... I'd say it's long but it's like 67 minutes long... but it's the longest 67 minutes of my life.
The Sequal was directed by Trent Haaga (writer/co-star of Citizen Toxie) that might mean it's a little better... I hope
I don't like the title because my name is JOY....... :buggedout:
I have watched this one and...for some reason my brain is either blocking or deleted nearly everything about it. I can vaguely remember the victims being taken to the warehouse in the other dimension. I also remember terribly painful one-liners, like Chucky from "Child's Play," but not funny or interesting.
Andrew - I hope someday my brain deletes everything about this movie.
i made a post about this flick in the "top 5 worst movies you've seen" this was at the top. i absolutley despise this movie.
