10 Scariest Movie & TV Clowns
5. Kent McCoy – Clown (2014)
This titular Clown is real estate agent Kent, whose son is let down by a clown booked to perform at his birthday party. Kent finds an old clown outfit in a house he is selling and wears it to take the place of the clown. The clown outfit is old and dirty, but he performs in it anyway.
Unable to take the outfit off, he does some research and tracks down the previous owner of the suit, who tells him it is actually the hair and skin of an ancient child-eating demon called the "Clöyne". Kent starts to change, fighting the urge to attack various children.
After accidentally killing a child, he gets a thirst for blood and goes on a massacre in a Chuck E. Cheese. Now looking properly horrifying, he tells his wife he needs one more child to escape the demon. His attempt to kill and eat his son is stopped when his wife decapitates him.
The mythology of the demon reveals the previous owner ate terminal children on a cancer ward to rid himself of the suit. There is a hint at the end that Kent may have survived, as his body parts are shown bagged up in the coroner’s office
