Horror Vault's take

When a strange craft touches down near a sleepy rural town, the locals soon discover that the big-top visitors emerging from it are far deadlier than any circus act. Beneath the greasepaint and oversized shoes lurks an extraterrestrial menace with a very unusual appetite — and very unusual methods of securing a meal. Equal parts goofy and genuinely unsettling, this cult classic weaponizes coulrophobia against a backdrop of neon absurdity. It's the kind of film that lodges itself in your brain like a carnival jingle you can never quite shake.
