chronicles The Adventures of several
survivors of a zombie apocalypse with
the perfect combination of humor and
terror which coincidentally is the best
thing about zombie land a showdown at an
amusement park with a mob of the undead
leaves our unfortunate hero with the
choice to either face his clown phobia
or become just another snack time to nut
up or shut up
as if clowns weren’t scary enough though
this makeup wearing Walker’s appearance
is short-lived
there’s no denying he leaves an
impression that makes carnivals a place
you’ll always want to steer clear up
number seven clown or the laughs
amusement hello it’s Tabitha the
Carmine’s knees in this slasher flick a
babysitter encounters a clown in her
aunt’s home that has a few tricks up his
sleeve boys listen to me have to pack
there’s a Batman a very bad man in the
house in an already creepy room full of
clown paraphernalia this life-sized doll
is more than meets the eye as he kills
people in a search for revenge
with a menacing laugh and the pure joy
he finds in both stalking and murdering
his victims this serial killer certainly
chose a costume that reflects his
horrific nature what with his blood red
hair and clown nose all while keeping us
on the edge of our rocking chairs I’m
looking right at it
number six crazy Joe d’Avola Seinfeld
black tie Pagliacci the great clown the
great sad tragic clown like you he’s one
guy that proves not all clowns are happy

d’Avola lets his mental problems get the
better of him and lashes out at the

yeah number five
clowns killer clowns from outer space oh
we supposed to get in and see the show
when a race of evil aliens that
resembles clowns lands on earth their
bloodlust for human flesh
combined with sweet and creative ways of
killing their victims aren’t the stuff
of nightmares
whether they’re wrapping their prey and
cotton candy-like cocoons or using
puppets to lure them into their hands
this cinematic take on clowns is simply
terrifying knock my block off we’d hate
to see what their home planet looks like
these clowns and their circus inspired
killing spree paired with their deadly
extraterrestrial powers make them
unforgettable horror fuel that will keep
you up at night number four clown doll
poltergeist when a family believes some
nasty spirits haunt their house they
enlist a team of parapsychologists to
help them discover the meaning behind
these Restless ghosts
but they only do this after they
experience intense demonic happenings
including an already creepy toy clown
coming to life to terrorize the kids of
the home seriously why would anyone stay
in a house after this
the evil clown doll becomes a true
monster under the bed and this memorable
scene made us all fear even the most
harmless looking toys in our closet
number three the Joker Batman and the
Dark Knight this iconic comic book
villain is Batman’s arch nemesis
and although portrayals have changed
throughout his many incarnations the
Clown Prince of Crime remains one badass
funny man you don’t want to mess with
lucious so natural
only your Undertaker knows for sure his
chaotic mannerisms and unpredictable
behavior combined with a menacing grin
and homicidal tendencies make him the
perfect adversary to the cool demeanor
of the Caped Crusader when you look
nervous is it the scars we’ve narrowed
down the Joker’s most terrifying big
screen depictions to the memorable
performances by Jack Nicholson in 1989’s
Batman as well as the equally disturbing
2008 interpretation by the late Heath
Ledger in the Dark Knight I believe
whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes
you
stranger whichever you prefer
there’s no denying the Joker is one of
the scariest clowns to ever grace the
silver screen everything burns number
two Captain Spaulding House of a
thousand corpses and the Devil’s Rejects
in the first of these exploitation
horror flicks we meet a gang of
backwoods murderers whose sadistic
method of torture killings is as brutal
as it is terrifying as the owner of a
local gas station and proprietor of the
Museum of monsters and madmen Captain
Spaulding is the architect of the film’s
bloodshed and carnival of Horrors and
with just the right amount of
intimidating and endearing insanity he
is one crazy clown we love to be scared
of thanks to his ability to lure in
unsuspecting victims with his unsettling
charm he is also a roadside attraction
you’ll want to avoid on your next road
