Excellent but underrated film

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I first saw this in college back in 2001 and thought it was one of the funniest short films I've ever seen.Some people will find this movie funny, others maybe not. You just have to recognize that it's intended to quirky and over the top melodramatic. John Popper does a great job narrating, the sound fx were great, and of course the slideshow/bedtime story approach is an interesting combination. And then of course there's the evil spirits thrown in for good measure.It's barely a ten minute film - take the time and watch it. It's worth it!

OMG This is one of the funniest short movies EVER. I first saw it on IFC's Short Film Colllection a few years back, and I fell in love with it. My sister and I even taped it and we still say quotes from Das Clown like "Then A gust of wind.......". It hasn't been on recently so if anyone knows when it's going to be on leave a message on this website. Anyway It's about a toy maker who has an evil clown doll who kills him, and the policeman,but there's a big surprise at the end ( you're going to be spending the entire 8 minutes wondering. LOL. Every time I think of this movie I laugh inside so yeah it's funny, and ridiculous, and AMAZING AT LIFE.

I absolutely LOVE this film. I love watching the short film collections on IFC, and this one is easy to miss because it's the very last one. I love how it starts out as sweet and innocent, then TWIST! You never expect what happens to happen in a million years. The funniest part is the chainsaw, because Sparkles appears out of nowhere accompanied by a loud chainsaw sound. And his accent adds a great touch. Then you get another twist at the end. This film is very entertaining. If you have a good sense of humor, you'll like it.

So I'm watching IFC's Short Film Collection and this comes on.It starts out like a cutesy kid movie about this sweet old man that owns an antique show and his beloved clown. Then the clown comes to life and starts killing people, what is THAT about? Despite the completely bizarre story, it was nevertheless an incredibly intriguing short film. The slide show style was something I'd never seen before and it really made for a different experience since there was really no MOVEMENT on screen, only stills. The dialogue-free narration was also interesting and made for a 'book-like' feeling to the movie, like a story being read to you. However, due to the graphic nature of the plot I would not recommend it for the faint of heart, only die hard indie fans.
