Scariest Clown

[Bubba]

Pennywise the clown smurfed me up from a young age.

The part where the kids are looking through the old book and it turns into a black and white video. You see him come cartwheeling into view. Then he suddenly stops, looks up at the camera, points at it (at you!) and makes this horrible, horrible growl. Then he comes running, climbs up the lamp post and his FREAKY SMURFING FACE IS RIGHT THERE!!

I didn't sleep for a long time after seeing that...

First of all, how dare you suggest Puddles the Sad Clown is scary or bad or evil. He is just sad and AMAZING.

Twisty the Clown is definitely pretty horrifying. Ronald McDonald is also in the running.

Puddles isn't scary, to me. But since he's a thing these days I felt I should have him on the list.

I'm kinda surprised there aren't many Coulrophobes here.

I definitely agree that clowns are, on some level, MEANT to be disturbing.

They're meant to provoke you out of normal ways of thinking, to see the world in a different light.

In a clown, you see the strangeness of the world reflected, which can be funny or frightening.
