-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

When I was in elementary school, we had a school play once, but it wasn't really a play, it was just a bunch of vignettes from different classes and somehow my class did a thing with clowns and it was supposed to be cute and circus-y.

Trust me when I say that me playing a clown as a 3rd grader or something was the scariest clown performance ever.

“Killer Klowns From Outer Space" was one of scariest things I had ever seen as a child.

The poltergeist clown doll scares me more than regular clowns. Intellectually, I know a regular clown is just some regular person in make up. Clown dolls on the other hand, are demons that are possessed by other, more scary demons.

I’d face 100 Pennywises before being anywhere near Art the Clown. He’s the only horror villain I have genuine nightmares about.

I’ve had nightmares about him too. 😬

I had a nightmare about him where I told him that he should try brushing and flossing his gross teeth, cause inflamed and infected gums provide a gateway for oral bacteria to enter the bloodstream, and that’s probably why he’s crazy 😂

Not a movie but fucking Zeebo from Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

The one who smokes cigars and doesn’t like his nose being stolen?

[flyingpigs_live]

Yes and that creepy ass smile.

Oh shit didn’t realize he was on there. I need to read past the titles
