## Resource

This week on The Ghostly Gallery Podcast, we take a look at two very different cult horror films from the 1980s: Crawlspace (1986) and Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988). First, we head into the dark world of Crawlspace, starring Klaus Kinski as a disturbed landlord who uses hidden passages and secret crawlspaces to spy on and terrorize his tenants. We discuss Kinski's chilling performance, the film's atmosphere, memorable moments, and whether this lesser-known thriller deserves more recognition among horror fans. We then shift gears completely with Killer Klowns from Outer Space, the colorful cult classic about alien clowns invading a small town with cotton candy cocoons, living popcorn, balloon animals, and plenty of carnival-themed chaos. We talk about the film's lasting popularity, creative practical effects, memorable characters, and why horror fans continue to celebrate it nearly forty years after its release. Join Bruce Markusen and Tracy Asteria as they explore two unique horror films that showcase just how varied the genre could be during the 1980s. From psychological terror and paranoia to outrageous horror-comedy, this double feature has a little bit of everything. What are your thoughts on Crawlspace and Killer Klowns from Outer Space?
