Big Top

"We were at "the top of the world" and...and we saw this shooting star, and we decided to look for it. But instead of finding the shooting star, we saw this... this circus tent. And that's when we went inside, and that is when we saw those people in those... those pink cotton candy cocoons. Dave, it was not a circus tent. It was something else."

- Debbie Stone to Officer Dave Hanson about the "Big Top".

The "Big Top" is the Killer Klowns' spaceship that has the same functions as a hot air balloon and is disguised as a circus tent and it is a location featured in the 1988 sci-fi horror comedy movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

The interior is extremely decorated with several swirls, stripes, and tubes of various colors.

Design
There are elevators, many doors at just one place that differ in size, the tunnels are extremely curved and there is one big empty room, where above Klownzilla is. There is one room that Mike and Debbie had come into, where purple lightning was occuring from a round electricity core. Mike states it smells like candy. There is a factory-like room that is the Killer Klowns' main laboratory filled with popcorn tubes, cotton candy cocoons hanging just like butchered meat on hangers, popcorn tubes where popping happens just like in electronic popcorn machines.

In the Film
The Big Top came in the guise of a shooting star and landed in the backyard of Farmer Gene Green's house outside the sleepy California town of Cresent Cove when he did not notice until the beginning of the film. The old farmer and his dog Pooh Bear went to investigate, believing it was Hailey's Comet. Then, they were captured, killed, and trapped inside cotton candy cocoons by a Killer Klown named Jumbo. Local teenagers Mike Tobacco and Debbie Stone had came inside out of curiosity to check it.

They went to refrigerator room, where they find Gene Green encased in a cotton candy cocoon. A Klown named Rudy came to the refrigerator room to hang a cotton candy cocoon. Mike and Debbie also found one of Mike's friends named Joe Lombardo encased in a cotton candy cocoon.

Later on, at the end of the film, the Big Top takes off and heading back to outer space, but it ultimately exploded when Klownzilla exploded inside it, killing all the Killer Klowns due to the brave actions of Mike and Debbie with the help of police chief Dave Hanson and the 2 ice cream-selling Terenzi Brothers.
