njscreenwriter 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!

bockling I really enjoyed this movie. It is really well done. The way they use the slide show and narration is ingenious. It starts out like a children's story and then goes into a horror film, and then ends as a romance. Also I enjoyed the dark humor, I find myself laughing each time I watch it. It also is cool that John Popper (Blues Traveler) is the narrator. I would recommend you see this movie. Just do a search for it, you won't regret it.

elektrared If you have a fear of clowns, run from this movie! If not, settle back, relax and enjoy - a staple of the Independent Film Channel, Das Clown is very funny. Remember those filmstrips you saw in school? Brown resurrects the art form and with John Popper's homey narration, a cult classic is born.

GillianS 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.
