Every ‘Killer Klowns from Outer Space’ Movie Location You Can Visit in the Video Game!
It’s now been almost a full month since the release of Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game, the first official expansion on the 1988 cult classic in the 36 years since the horror-comedy’s original release. The Killer Klowns fanbase has only grown in recent years, as evidenced by a Halloween Horror Nights attraction and tons of merchandise stocking the shelves of Spirit Halloween each and every spooky season, and the video game is the latest extension of the film’s enduring power. Is a sequel next up on the Big Top menu? Maybe!
But we’re not here to speculate on the future of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space film franchise. Rather, we’re here to talk about all the iconic locations from the movie that you can now virtually visit inside the video game! You’ve surely stumbled across a handful of these locations in the past month of play, but there are plenty of others you might’ve missed.
We checked in with the developers of Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game and got a full rundown of all the movie locales they faithfully recreated, along with exclusive imagery!
Here are seven Killer Klowns movie locations you can visit in the game!
THE CRESCENT COVE POLICE STATION – DOWNTOWN MAP
The police station is of course one of the most memorable locations from the Chiodo Brothers’ Killer Klowns from Outer Space, the stomping grounds of John Vernon’s Curtis Mooney. And while Mooney doesn’t yet appear in the game in any capacity, you can hide out in his station.
Players can enter the Crescent Cove Police Station and skulk around the movie-accurate interiors, and you can even pay a visit to the room of jail cells that’s featured in the movie!
CRESCENT COVE GAZEBO – DOWNTOWN MAP
On the same map as the police station you’ll also stumble across the Crescent Cove Gazebo, which played host to a memorable scene in the 1988 horror-comedy: the puppet show.
This is of course the location where the Klown known as Spikey lures in an unsuspecting victim with a puppet show, ultimately blasting him with its cotton candy cocoon gun.
And that very puppet gun can also be utilized in the video game!
BIKER’S ALLEY – DOWNTOWN MAP
Another noteworthy location you’ll find on the Downtown Map is Biker’s Alley, which was featured in the most memorable kill scene from the Killer Klowns from Outer Space movie.
This is where a biker dares Shorty the Klown to “knock his block off,” and Shorty responds by donning a pair of red boxing gloves, putting up his dukes, and punching the dude’s head off.
You can recreate that scene in the video game, as Shorty’s main melee weapon is a pair of red boxing gloves. And there are even biker cosmetics for the human players in the game.
BIG TOP BURGER – SUBURBS MAP
Play around in the Suburbs map and you’ll eventually find your way over to Big Top Burger, another location featured in an unforgettable sequence from the Killer Klowns movie.
Big Top Burger is where the Klown we call Jumbo attempts to lure a young child to her demise, which is a special ability that Klowns players can actually utilize within the game.
And yes, you can actually enter Big Top Burger in the video game!
DEBBIE’S HOUSE – SUBURBS MAP
In addition to Suzanne Snyder’s movie character Debbie Stone being featured as a playable skin in the Killer Klowns from Outer Space game, you can also pay a visit to Debbie’s house!
Debbie’s house can be found on the Suburbs Map right around the corner from Big Top Burger, but unfortunately you can only walk up the steps and not actually enter the house.
Maybe that door will unlock in a future update…
TOP OF THE WORLD – TOP OF THE WORLD MAP
Killer Klowns begins with an introduction to Mike Tobacco (also a playable character skin) and Debbie Stone at “Top of the World,” a locale that gets its own map in the video game.
While you can’t make out in the backseat of any cars, you can hang around Top of the World in the Klowns video game. You can also explore more of the location not seen in the movie.
If you’re lucky, the Terenzi Brothers might even show up to help you escape.
THE FUN HOUSE – AMUSEMENT PARK MAP
The other movie-based map you’ll currently find in Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is the Amusement Park, an expansion on a location featured in the movie’s final act.
As you may recall, the climactic events of the movie begin with the characters entering the Crazy House attraction, where they soon end up inside the Killer Klowns’ spaceship.
While you can’t do battle with Klownzilla in the game or even enter the Crazy House, you can at least take selfies outside. And who knows, maybe the spaceship map is coming soon…
There is an additional fifth map available in Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game at launch, titled Clown Summer Camp, but that’s an original location created for the video game.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is a 3v7 asymmetrical multiplayer horror game based on the cult horror classic film. When murderous alien Klowns come to feed on the quiet town of Crescent Cove, the locals must work together to fight back and survive the invasion.
Players can team up as either Klowns or humans, choosing from a variety of character classes, to explore an expansive, ever-changing map with creepy surprises waiting around every corner.
Director Andrew Saullo has just dropped the second Resident Evil cast reunion. And this time, Charlie Kraslavsky, Greg Smith and Eric Pirius (who played Chris Redfield, Barry Burton and Albert Wesker, respectively) are joined by the surprise addition of Rebecca Chambers’ actress, known as Linda! The quartet were joined by Saullo, as well as Residence of Evil founder JJ Trulock to discuss (what else?) their experience with Resident Evil, as well as some behind-the-scenes info on the shoot for the cutscenes.
Regarding the shoot for the cutscenes, Linda said that the experience “left a really big impact” on her at the time. “It was a big day. It was a wild shoot and it was very different than anything else that I had been doing in Japan at the time when I was modelling.” Still, Linda did remember her fellow actors, though she admitted that they all “looked a little bit different” at the time, including herself. “I remember for the shoot, I actually had blonde hair, and they spray painted my hair that morning so I would look more like Rebecca.”
As for her knowledge of Resident Evil, Linda admitted that she’s still learning about the series and her character. “I didn’t know a lot about the job, or that anyone was looking for [me] up until probably about four years ago, where someone reached out to me and they found me. But even then, I didn’t understand the magnitude of the entire situation. Only now I’m realizing like wow, there’s maybe someone out there that you know it’s like ‘Wow, that’s Rebecca Chambers!’. So it’s new to me, and I’m kind of just going with it.”
The interview (which you can check out below) also includes a special announcement of a four-part fan-made web series, which will be directed by Andrew Saullo (who also directed the fan-made short The Keeper’s Diary, in case you missed it). All four of the actors will be reprising their roles in the web series. It will not be an official Resident Evil series (for copyright reasons). Crowdfunding for the project will be launched “soon”.
