Scream Factory has just released Killer Klowns from Outer Space in 4K to celebrate its 35th Anniversary, and what an exciting time to be a fan of the 1980s movie. With the recent surge of Klownapalooza happening in the past few years, including tons of merch made available by Spirit Halloween and the much-anticipated video game scheduled to be released next month, it seems apropos for the Klowns to finally make their 4K debut.
In 1988, the Chiodo Brothers took their seemingly ridiculous premise of having otherworldly monsters in the form of circus clowns land on Earth to wreak havoc on a quiet little town and produced it into a full-length motion picture. Inspired by creature features and B-movies alike, their unconventional film with a deliberately hokey title would garner an initially significant following that evolved into a major cult classic close to four decades later.

Heeramandi by Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Netflix Indian may not have been complicated when it comes to the technical side of the film, and by that, we mean the production design and the direction. The screenplay that described the characters in the show was rather complicated. With the run down on interpersonal relationships, this article will help the readers connect the dots on how each character was related to each other.

Rehana Aapa
Heeramandi begins with Rehana Aapa of the Khwabgah Palace in Heeramandi, who was the older sister to Mallika. Rehana’s sahab was Nawab Zulfikar, who was showing interest in courting Mallika. Rehana was also a mother to Zulfikar’s daughter, Fareedan. On Rehana’s murder, Waheeda, another courtesan, was a witness. The boy Rehana sold in exchange for jewels grew up to be Nawab Zorawar, raised by Qutbuddin as his own.

From the moment the very first trailer for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Heeramandi” on Netflix arrived, it’s become increasingly difficult to ignore that a certain type of Indian actress has passed into extinction.
Since the dawn of Indian cinema, music and dance have been integral to the movie-going experience, with extra emphasis placed on the “heroine” — a leading lady who could not only carry a whole film as an actor, but also captivate the audience as a graceful, expressive dancer. Think of Hollywood corollaries like Judy Garland, Ginger Rogers, Doris Day — but if they were working well into the late 20th and even 21st century. It’s inherently wrapped up in India’s history of folk dance, which is always present at festivals or celebrations; and classical dance, which requires extensive training and was often a precursor to entering beauty pageants and the film industry. Heroines like Sridevi, Waheeda Rehman,...

Heeramandi, aka The Diamond Bazaar, from Netflix India, was created and directed by the exquisite Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The man who is known for grandeur in this series covers the story of courtesans from Heeramandi, the red-light district of Lahore, which is now in Pakistan. Set in the 1920’s, these women were at the pinnacle of their power, and Heeramandi was the only place where the nobles spent lavishly while the women ruled them. This eight-episode-long web series is the fictional retelling of the stories of these women who lived to rule.

It seems crazy to me that Spirit Halloween stores are apparently having great success selling merchandise related to the 1988 cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space (watch it Here), and yet we still haven’t heard that the long-awaited sequel has been given a greenlight. But while we continue to wait for that sequel (and look forward to the video game), Spirit Halloween has now announced that they’ve teamed up with Funko to create a limited edition Funko Pop! that will only be available in select Spirit stores and on the Spirit website. This figure, which is being produced to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Killer Klowns from Outer Space, “brings to life the iconic scene where Bibbo and Shorty pop out of a pizza box and zap an unsuspecting victim with their cotton candy gun.”
The figure is called the Killer Klowns Movie Moment Funko. Standing at 6.4″ inches tall,...
