Screening of the 1988 film 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' within the Glasgore Presents programme at the National Library of Scotland.
Glasgore Presents is bringing Killer Klowns from Outer Space to the National Library of Scotland on Wednesday 28 October, a screening of the 1988 cult classic that sits right in the middle of the Halloween run. If you've never seen it, the premise is exactly what it sounds like: a circus tent lands on a small town, and it turns out the performers are actually aliens who look like oversized, murderous clowns. It's a proper 80s creature-feature, all practical effects and rubber suits, and it's the kind of thing that works best on a big screen with a room full of people rather than on a laptop at home.
It's a screening of the original 1988 film, so it's the one most people know — the one with the cotton candy cocoons and the popcorn guns. The whole thing is presented as part of Glasgore, which is why it's landing in Edinburgh during the October run. It's a straightforward showing of the movie, no bells or whistles around it, just the film itself.

The screening runs from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at the National Library of Scotland, so it's an early evening one that gets you home well before midnight. It's on Wednesday 28 October, a few days before Halloween, so it fits right into the season. If you're in the city and fancy a bit of 80s horror as part of your October plans, that's the one.
