No, gore is the last thing this movie needed. It would have added nothing, and Killer Klowns stands out by taking a different route with its executions, much "creepier" than any gore much fest.

Yeah, I personally don't think it would've improved it any. This was meant as a fun comedy, rather than a torture porn horror. I don't see how adding gore would've made it anything better than it already was.

Both of you probably knows no fun splatter movies (like Bad taste,Toxic Avenger,Terror Firmer) ? 
A Remake or Sequel should have splatter and comedy.

Condescending statement, considering I was probably watching those films when you were still in diapers.

And no, this didn't need splatter. This was an homage to the 50's monster film. Inventive deaths that didn't really on drippy gore was the point. Though I think drinking people up through a crazy straw as their rapped in a cotton candy cocoon or acidic pies are pretty wild stuff.

Bad Taste was a fun movie? I thought that movie was crap.

Toxic Avenger film is a better example, but I still don't see any reason that Killer Klowns needs to go in that direction.

Whereas the Troma films' humour comes from, for the most part, being pretty *beep* up, the Killer Klowns was funny because of the absurdity of the situations. The Klowns kill you through custard pies, popcorn and use of balloon animals. It was funny because it was so stupid. It doesn't require the edge that something like Toxic Avenger or the Nuke 'Em High films use, in my opinion.

I don't think gore was necessary. It could have made for a fun splatter movie, though.

How about some AL Gore???

Boobs would have helped this terrible movie.

Even though the movie was intended to be campy, it's still genuinely creepy due to some people actually being afraid of clowns. So the film actually works fine as is.
