In a small town somewhere in Maine, a group of teenagers see a shooting star that lands in a nearby forest. A while later, Mike and Debbie decide to check it out. At the landing site, they find a circus tent. Upon going inside, they see that the tent is whole lot bigger than it is from the outside. There's no arena, it just looks more like a sci-fi themed fun house that never ends. In one room, the lovebirds find plumps of cotton candy hanging from rods. When Mike picks a piece off, he notices a dead body cocooned inside. Upon that discovery, the residents arrive and attack: deformed alien creatures that look like clowns with too much prosthetic makeup. Mike and Debbie try to warn everyone, but no one will believe them. As the night goes on, the bodies pile up as the aliens use clown-like methods of killing: a ray gun that bakes you alive and cocoons you in cotton candy, a living balloon animal, popcorn that turns into smaller clowns, living shadow puppets, and even acid cream pies. The gang finds out that the Klowns were cruising across the galaxy and stopped on Earth for a bite to eat. What if there are parts where Mike and Debbie wear clown disguises? What if one of the kidnapped victims is forced to eat a candy that helps them understand their language? What if one Klown decides to help the humans?
