9 Creepiest Clown Movies Of All Time

1. Clownhouse

Killer Klowns
Vision International

Clownhouse is the creepiest clown movie of all time. Maybe it’s the Halloween-time setting. Maybe it’s Sam Rockwell’s haircut. Maybe it’s the fact that director Victor Salva molested his underage male star and there are a few icky shots in this film that make you want to scrub yourself clean... Maybe it's because it could actually happen?

The story is a simple one: 3 men escape from an insane asylum, dress up like clowns, and stalk 3 brothers in a big house. There are no aliens, no zombies, no dolls - it’s just 3 crazy guys that dress up like clowns and want to kill kids. Director Victor Salva is a pedophile and a monster in his own right (having molested one of the young stars), but he made a film that is so unsettling, so creepy, that it stays with you long after the final frame.

Clownhouse is available in its entirety on YouTube but be forewarned; this is not a movie to watch by yourself.
