I feel the balls and cotton candy gun are two type of guns that use the same technology but for different use.
Everything in the universe is made up of energy. Energy is all around you and the guns can manipulate the energy to either have the Cotton Candy that is used to capture and prepare the humans to eat. The balloon is used to capture and keep them alive. I feel they are either capturing them in the balloons for sex or they want to breed some for long term feeding.
I think of the concept of in Star Trek where they can make any type of food by programming the food dispensers. so the same concept allows the guns to create solid objects around the humans and manipulate them to the size and shape most effective.
As far as the popcorn, it may also need to be in a more open space to be able to evolve. being in the bag or a gun confines them in a hibernation mode. but I also agree that dampness could also be affective. Might also need to have lots of air to develop.
I also feel that the female klown women had sex with the two guys, and perhaps either they just wanted to hook up, or they are like some spiders or insects and will mate before eating someone. It is also possible the male klowns wanted to have sex with some of the women. Its not to uncommon in certain places in the world now for someone to have sex with their food source.
The balloon dog could be the same concept of nano bot technology where they are many little machines that form a big machine.
The pie is bacteria that is an acid to human skin. It is possible that it takes a while to burn the skin away so at the end when they all get hit by pies they just don't stick around long enough to see this happen.
perhaps the shadow puppets is a life organism that is being controlled by the clown. I think of the episode of Dr who when they are in the library planet and if a shadow touches you it takes over. Its like a pet for the Klown in order to get the people at the bus stop.
As far as the Klown that was driving in the air, it could be something as simple as anti gravity suit, or even cloaking device. Heck Wonder Woman had an invisible Jet.
As far as the Klown's only weakness is their nose, They may just not feel humans would be able to get there nose. Military and Law enforcement may protect themselves but they do not protect every part of their body that makes them vulnerable.
And as far as the Klown's looking like clowns and their technology looking like a circus I agree with people that say they came to earth before and we made our own version. If you really want to get deep, it may also be possible the aliens populated earth for a feeding ground.

I think you're a little too smart to be watching and theorizing about movies like killer klowns. Maybe you should look into rocket science instead.

No i have seen a picture of a naked killer klown without his suit, so it's not part of there skin.
I also notice what looks to be a hole between there chest and there stomach. At first i thought it was just there belly button, but it's to high up!
This i believe is where there tentacles come out to reproduce with human females and female klowns.
Just think about it, they could put the tale end of the balloon into there hole and then the tentacles go into the balloon.
Then into the human female and start having sex with them while the human female is still trap inside her balloon.

Perhaps the clown outfits are part of their skin or hair.

Yeah you're right they most likly have to sometime,but i wonder how they remove there suits? They don't have any zippers on the back of them.

I don't know, dude. Klowns have to poop sometime. I can't imagine all of that blood getting completely absorbed.
Coop

Ew gross.

I noticed that the cream pies that hit the protagonists at the very end don't give any indication of dissolving their faces. Is it possible that the Klowns defecate cream pies, and our heroes are actually being pelted with the remains of the spaceship's septic tank?
Coop

what about the gun that made the puppet fade and disapear?

I think you've got too much time on your hands, mate.
Elvira mistress of the dark is the coolest woman ever.
DCI Gene Hunt (UK) coolest man ever.

As for the women in balloons, the balloons seem to be preservative devices. So I"m thinking their refrigerators. Women that young could be used to make more snacks for the trip home. Though i doubht they use sex, i'm sure they have other invasive artificial ways to make humans pregnant.

Cool - look forward to it!

thanks for the contribution! I'll read it later and update the OP

AwesomeDood, that was a fan-friggin-tastic post!
Ah, whats left of my mind.
Balloon Dog - I see in other posts that the balloon dog is kind of a mystery, maybe a robot thing. What about something like the popcorn? The balloon contains intelligent cells that are dormant until the Klowns blow them up and create a shape. Once the cells recognize the shape, they react appropriately (kind of like the toy robots you can get now that will react to their environment curious, timid, aggressive, depending on the mood you, as the controller, set). Maybe there is a pre-determined set of shapes that they can take, as if built in a lab.
I think the Popcorn and Cotton Candy Gun make great sense (sob!, making sense of Killer Klowns?!?!).
The magicwhat if it wasnt magic?
The shadow puppets what if they have some sort of black hole device? It needs a certain amount of time to properly generate enough power to enfold its victims and shrink them for easier carrying.
Or whatever would be appropriate instead of black hole. Admittedly, I am not a physicist/scientist type person.
The air-bicycle perhaps in the Klowns clothing, they also have an anti-gravity machine built in to help them along, maybe normally used if they are going over water or really rough terrain. Being a Klown, they cant help but to misuse the machine when its funny to do so.
The sex thing. Perhaps they too, procreate male to female. So well give them that. Since the Klowns were cocooning the whole town, perhaps this is a food expedition, so thats why there are only two female Klowns on board. This is just like a big rig going cross country delivering some meat in their opinion. The Klowns on board are out looking for food to return to their home planet, not there for total domination (dont want to completely kill off their potential food source, right?). And the girl Klowns might have different powers than the male ones, or maybe they thought the male Klowns on this particular mission were jerks and wanted some human nookie for the thrill of it.
Metafrontal Lobe I dont necessarily think the Klowns are dumb, but maybe they have no experience with beings as crafty (pfft!) as humans, so dont worry about their weakness. I wish the huge Klown at the end didnt give up the ghost so easily, that stretches it a bit (HA!,
thats
what stretches it of this whole flick?!?!?), but Ill go with it. It could be their first experience with humans, and I bet the first humans had to learn how to defend against saber-toothed tiger and how to bring down a Mammoth; maybe its like that with the Klowns.
Okay, my question, how did the Klown talk through Mooney like he was a dummy? Or was it Mooney still talking, somehow kept alive and under the Klowns control until he was done with him? Either way, that scene is
hella
creepy!!!
Man, this is one of my favorite movies!
Goblin Cannonball: I hit something! Yes?!? No?!?

you knowmaybe the klown noses are really hard to pop. Like a punch, or a pin won't do it. Dave always used a gun, which would be our ultimate weapon of choice. Could be the klowns didn't know of our invention of the gun.
And perhaps he was able to pop Klownzilla's nose with his badge because Klownzilla just had a weak nose but it wasn't a problem since he never left the ship and never expected to encounter any earthlings, threatening or not.

things go bump in the night
