My Movie Review of the Fear of Clowns DVD
Fear of Clowns - Directed by Kevin Kangas, starring Rick Ganz and Jaqueline Reres. Full Credits at IMDB.
Review by Rodney Blackwell - March 16, 2005
This movie is currently un-rated, runs 114 minutes, has some graphic violence, gore, strong language, brief nudity and of course, scary clowns.
Available on DVD from Maurader Productions.
First off, I want to say thanks to the director, Kevin Kangas, for including a quick mention of ihateclowns.com in his movie. It way very cool hearing a cute actress say "w-w-w dot ihateclowns dot com" :)
 I bought the Fear of Clowns DVD from the Maurader Productions official website and to be honest, I didn't know what to expect. There's a wide variety in the quality of what people call "independent film". From "hey-look-I-made-this-with-my-webcam" to just "shy of hollywood quality, with great writing, acting, and storyline" (like Clerks/Slacker).
I'm happy to say that Fear of Clowns fits in the latter category; it is an overall entertaining and well put together movie. The fear of clowns is fast becoming one of the most recognized phobias. Recently, search engine giant Yahoo! ranked coulorophobia (the fear of clowns) as one of the top 10 searched for phobias. Other films have touched on clowns as demons, however, this independent film seems to stand out above them all.
The story behind the movie is that the main character, Lynn Blodgett, an artist, suffers from coulrophobia. Although (or maybe because) she is afraid of clowns, her latest series of paintings all have scary clowns as the subject.
Lynn, played by actress Jaqueline Reres, is going through a messy divorce at the same time her latest series of clown paintings makes it debut at a local art gallery. That night of her showing, a string of killings begin to happen all around her, all perpetrated by a crazed clown named "Shivers".
This film does a great job of setting up the story and getting you involved with the characters. From Lynn's good looking techy, geek assistant Amanda, played by actress Lauren Pellegrino, to her current love interest, roller coaster tycoon Tuck Flynn, played by actor/producer Rick Ganz, each of the main characters has just enough back story for us to care whether or not they get slashed up, or to make us question their true intentions.
Fear of Clowns turned out to be part murder mystery, part good ol' fashioned slasher. Throughout the film, I found myself trying to figure out which character was behind Shiver the Clown's horrific greasepaint. At the same time, it had the core elements of a gory slasher movie, with graphic decapitations, a smarmy dectective, and gratuitus nudity.
Having worked in a small town movie theatre for a few years, I personally enjoyed the final scenes that were filmed in an actual theatre. Memories of threading old Christie projectors, movies falling off platters, and tearing down reels of film all came back when the characters were hiding out in the projection booth, trying to outsmart Shivers.
I'm no movie critic, however, I found the only shortcomings in this movie to be the character of the detective who, in the first half of the movie, seemed as if he was too sarcastic and over the top (almost cheesy), and the actual length of the film. The run time of the film is close to 2 hours, and there were a few scenes that could have been edited out to make the film's pace a bit better. In that regard, the film is in good company, because the movie version of Stephen King's "It" was a bit too long as well.
The only other thing I thought was missing from the film was my name in the "thank you" area of the credits ;-) Although I had nothing to do with hard work that went into making of this film, I've always wanted to see my name (or website) listed in the white text on the black screen of rolling credits. I guess I'll have to make my own movie to see that happen :)
 For a "low budget" independent horror film, you'll be surprised at quality of this film. The camera work is well done and the production locations/background scenery were well chosen. The makeup and costume of Shivers the Clown was simply amazing.
I'm not normally "frightened" of clowns (I just don't like 'em), but Shivers quickly put me in the "phobia" category for about 2 hours. From his offcenter sneer on his greasepainted face, to his costume of work boots, baggy pants and no shirt (except for the clown collar), I was truly creeped out by this clown. I even had to take the DVD off the coffee table and put it in the back of the shelf because the cover art was scaring my wife when she walked by.
So, if you don't mind being scared, head over to the official site for the Fear of Clowns movie and pick up a copy of the limited edition DVD today. Each DVD is personally signed and numbered by the writer/director Kevin Kangas and actor/producer Rick Ganz.
I'd love to see this film make it to the various film festivals. Who knows, it might even be able to snag a few awards. So show your support of independent film and get your DVD today. Maybe one day you'll be able to find it at Netflix!
P.S. People often ask me why there are sometimes pictures of clowns on the t-shirts I sell, or why there are even any pictures of the clowns on the site. The dialogue between two of the characters in this movie put it nicely:
Lynn: How did you get all these people here?
Amanda: w-w-w dot ihateclowns dot com
Lynn: Wait a minute, if they hate clowns, why are they here?
Amanda: It's a sort of a love/hate thing.
Basically if you like to be scared, then this is the movie for you.

Get a Free iPod...really :)
20GB iPod |
Mini (Silver) |
Mini (Gold) |
Mini (Blue) |
Mini (Pink) |
Mini (Green) |
I assure you, this offer is legit. I was skeptical too at first. But search all over the internet and you will not find anyone claiming this is a scam. You will find plenty of success stories, though.
All you have to do is register and then participate in some trial program from a variety of companies, like Ebay, Columbia House, Ancestry.com, or AOL. For most of them, you can just sign up for a free trial and then cancel.
Then, just refer five people to sign up just like you did, and you get a free iPod.
As a bonus, if you register through me, I'll send you a free t-shirt from my ihateclowns.com website.
You have nothing to lose. It only takes about 15 minutes to go through the whole process, and then I'll even help you get your referrals. You have nothing to lose, so register now!
Quick Info
Offer is only valid in the United States.
Only one account is allowed per household.
Always use IE 6 when dealing with freeiPods.com because other browsers are not fully supported and you may not be credited for completing an offer.
Offers
Columbia House
This is the offer I did. You know the Columbia House people (6 DVDs for a penny, etc). This is a long standing reputable company, and I figured I needed some new DVDs anyway. Their offer is you pick 5 DVDs at .49 cents each and then you have to buy 5 more DVDs over a 2 year span. I figure I'll be buying DVDs anyway over the next 2 years, might as well get a free iPod out of it. I ended up getting 6 DVDS (the 6th DVDs counts as one of your 5 required and was at a lower price) and my total checkout for 6 DVDs was $17.40. Not a bad deal at all.
Ebay
Probably one of the easiest offers. They say you have to place at least one bid. So just find a recently-listed item with a starting price of 0.01 and bid 0.01. You have no chance of winning, so you'll never have to pay. I was credited with completing the offer from freeiPods.com within a day.
The only catch is that when you sign up with eBay, you can't use an email address like yahoo.com or hotmail.com, you have to use one from an ISP. If you don't, you have to give out your credit card number when signing up.
Ancestry.com or AOL
I have heard that you can just sign up, then call them and cancel your free trial. You will need a credit card to sign up, but it won't be charged.
So get to it! Sign up now!

Stream of Clownishness
Check out this funny "Stream of Clownishness" sent in by stand up comedian Brian Malow:
http://www.butseriously.com/br_clowns.htm
Here's a sampling:
Do not swim for thirty minutes after seeing a clown.
Everytime you hear a bell ring, a clown gets his big shoes and rubber nose.
Mark Twain once said, "The coldest winter I ever knew was the summer I spent as a clown."
Clowns always drive in the carpool lane.
Throughout history, more blood has been shed on behalf of clowns than any other single institution (see Clownish Inquisition).
If poaching is allowed to continue at the present rate, someday clowns will exist only in circuses.
All clowns have had that same anxiety dream in which they're at the circus and they're naked.
When the clown comes out of its tent and sees its shadow it is the first day of spring.
Read them all here:
http://www.butseriously.com/br_clowns.htm
And then read my own kinda funny "34 Reasons Why You Should Hate Clowns Too":
