5 out of 12.
-The Clown Doll, “Poltergeist” (1982)
How scared will you be? You’d think a pile of rubber wouldn’t be scary, but you’d be wrong; the “Poltergeist” clown is one of the scariest killer clowns on this list, and is as shiver-inducing as an adult as it is as a kid.
- The Joker, “Batman” (1989)
How scared will you be? Decidedly unscared and more delighted by Nicholson’s full embrace of Saturday morning cartoon villainy. If you want a scarier Joker, check out 2008’s “The Dark Knight” for Heath Ledger’s portrayal, though the character is far less clowney than usual.
- Zeebo the Clown, “Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of Laughing in the Dark” (1992)
How scared will you be? You’ll be scared at the passage of time as you realize this episode of TV aired over 30 years ago.
- Captain Spaulding, “House of 1000 Corpses” (2003)
How scared will you be? “House of 1000 Corpses” is probably the scariest movie on this list thanks to its dedication to depraved gore, although Captain Spaulding doesn’t get the chance to be as scary as he could be.
- Art, “Terrifier 2” (2022)
How scared will you be? The gruesome gore effects of “Terrifier 2” lead to reports of people passing out and fainting in the theater, so be very afraid.
