Elaborate, Im lost. What happened behind the scenes with this flick? :lupe:
The film became the subject of controversy when Salva was convicted during post-production for sexually abusing the then-12-year-old Winters between shoots. Due to the controversy, home media releases of Clownhouse were removed from distribution and are out of print.
In 1988, director Victor Salva was convicted of the sexual abuse of Nathan Forrest Winters, the 12-year-old lead actor who played Casey, during production, including videotaping one of the encounters.[7] Commercial videotapes and magazines containing child pornography were also found at his home.[8] After serving 15 months of a three-year prison term, Salva was released on parole.[9]

Winters came forward again in 1995, when Salva's film Powder was released.[10][11][12] Winters picketed a screening in Westwood.[8]

In a YouTube interview conducted by Blastzone Mike with Winters on April 5, 2017, Winters revealed that when Salva was arrested, everything but the dubbing had been completed, and that all of the dialogue was added in post-production due to the extremely loud noise of the cameras. It is unclear whether or not Winters did his own dubbing.[13]

Also interesting if true
Impressed by Victor Salva's 1986 short film Something in the Basement, Francis Ford Coppola gave him $250,000 to make Clownhouse.[1] To shoot the film, Coppola gave Salva the same cameras George Lucas had used to make American Graffiti (1973).[2] The film was made, in part, at Coppola's home in Napa Valley.[3] Salva cast Nathan Forrest Winters and Brian McHugh in the film, who had previously worked with him in Something in the Basement.

In 1988, Salva was convicted of sexual misconduct with one of Clownhouse's underage stars who was 12 years old at the time and videotaping one of the encounters. Commercial videotapes and magazines containing child pornography were also found in his home. Salva pleaded guilty to lewd and lascivious conduct, oral sex with a person under 14, and procuring a child for pornography. He was sentenced to three years in state prison, of which he served 15 months. He completed his parole in 1992.

Salva next made his first big-studio picture, Powder (1995), the tale of an albino boy with special powers that make him an outcast. At the time of the film's release, Salva's conviction became known to the public when his victim came forward, calling for the film's boycott. Disney officials stated that they had been informed of Salva's crime only after production of Powder had begun.

Disney Movie's Director a Convicted Child Molester : Hollywood: He says, 'I paid for my mistakes dearly,' but victim of incident several years ago urges boycott of 'Powder.'

Phi Chi Connection
Lucas (I think I was only 2 or 3 when this came out, can't even look at it the same knowing Corey Haim and Charlie Sheen's fukkery though)

Heavyweights - I knew Ben Stiller was going to be a legend after seeing this.

Radio Flyer

Lord of Illusions - 1 of the first, if not thee first R rated movie I saw on my own as a kid (might've seen Dangerous Minds first). My sis took me to see Robocop 2, but that wasn't alone. I remember watching Quantum Leap as a kid, and I hadn't seen Scott Bakula in anything in years.

Hmm . . . I saw this but only have a vague memory. I think I recall it getting way more serious than a kids movie in the third act.
Na the whole movie is a fukking child's nightmare. The movie starts with Dorothy getting admitted to an asylum by her shytfukk Auntie Em because of her dream :damn:.



And I literally have a scar on my chin because of this movie. One of my childhood friends and I were reenacting scenes in my living room and he pretended he was Tik-Tok (:dwillhuh:) and swung at me knocking me into a wooden rocking chair and splitting my chin wide open.
