1988 movie 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' inspires Windcrest home's Halloween theme

The homeowners even purchased most of the clowns for the movie to add to their all-out display, unveiled Sunday evening.

WINDCREST, Texas — A Windcrest home's Christmas decorations earned them national recognition on the competition show The Great Christmas Light Fight.

While Windcrest is known for their spectacular Christmas holiday decorations, this home in particular will give trick-or-treaters a Halloween they will never forget. 

The couple, who asked to remain anonymous, used their earnings from the television show to start something new. They decided to channel all of their energy into Halloween.

The creepy clown circus theme was unveiled Sunday at sundown.

The inspiration for this year's decor, the homeowners tell us, came from the 1988 movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space. The homeowner grew up watching the movie, and even purchased most of the creepy clowns that look just like the ones in the film.

The 2024 display for the Windcrest home was inspired by Killer Klowns from Outer Space, a 1988 movie.

The house, located in the heart of Windcrest, features close to 20 animatronics and 10 to 15 other characters in their display. 

This year, a surprise will be in store for visitors: a special monster with a smoke feature. Each year, the couple aims to go bigger and better than the last. 2024's display took two months to create.
