This week, we're officially kicking off our Psychotronic Summer series to celebrate some of the best summer cult films that are celebrating big anniversaries in 2018!

To get things going, we're headed back to 1988 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE and we're bringing special guest Fred Sims along for the ride!

From its origins as a weird thought experiment from director Stephen Chiodo to the creation of its amazing and iconic effects and characters from all three of the Chiodo brothers, we dive deep into the stories behind the making of the film and discuss its ongoing legacy as a cult film three decades after its release.

And then we ask the big question: Is it a Psychotronic Hall of Famer? That's up to you!
