Killjoy (2000 film)

Killjoy is a 2000 American fantasy slasher film directed by Craig Ross, starring Ángel Vargas.

Nerdy high school student Michael asks fellow classmate Jada to go to the homecoming dance with him.

That night, Michael brandishes a knife as he uses black magic encircled by candles on a clown doll to bring forth a demon of vengeance known as Killjoy, but seemingly, it does not work.

Lorenzo, T-Bone, and Baby Boy abduct Michael outside his house and bring him to a secluded area where they "accidentally" shoot him.

One year later, Lorenzo is at a rundown apartment partying with T-Bone and Baby Boy and leaves to meet Kahara, his new girlfriend.

T-Bone finds a lit blunt and smokes it, causing him to light and inhale himself, bursting into flames as his body disintegrates.

He finds the ice cream truck parked outside the apartment building, and the clown pulls him inside and teleports him to his warehouse lair.

Kahara exits the apartment looking for Lorenzo, finding his body inside the ice cream truck before the clown scares her away.

Before leaving, he tells them that they have to destroy the doll, and that the ice cream truck is conveniently parked outside for them to enter and confront the clown in its own lair.

Jamal and Monique regain consciousness, and the trio exit the warehouse, preparing to enter the ice cream truck again, hoping to be teleported back to their world.

The ice cream truck teleports the trio into Michael's room with the clown doll on the floor, encircled by candles.

Jada screams at the reappearance of the two men of her past that she has been struggling to emotionally move on from for over a year when she finally wakes up from this nightmare next to Jamal.
