Director Stuart Page's music videos are sometimes controversial and always arresting. His video for Auckland trio Superette's 1995 track 'Killer Clown' is no exception. A child's birthday party is in full swing, but no one present is under 25; cake is mushed, jelly is mutilated, and food fights reign while the hired entertainment (Superette members Dave Mulcahy, Greta Anderson and Ben Howe) join the sugar-fuelled 'fun'. Page drew on the pop song's creepy inspiration  America's own 'killer clown', convicted murderer John Wayne Gacy. Page went on to make videos for Superette singles 'Touch Me' and 'Kiss Someone'.
