10 Most Disturbing Clowns In Video Games

9. Beppi The Clown (Cuphead)

One of the more recent additions to the "spooky clowns in video games" scene, Beppi The Clown is one of the many tough bosses you'll encounter while playing through 2017's gorgeous run-and-gun platformer Cuphead.

Aside from being fiendishly difficult, it's Beppi's arsenal of demented facial expressions and movements that make him a scarily memorable opponent: throughout each phase of the battle, his enormous toothy grins and wild, bulging eyes are hard to look away from, and in a game where literally just blinking can cause you to make a fatal mistake... that's not good.

Beppi's ability to shapeshift also produces some unsettling imagery. In particular, his final form - where he turns into a massive chair swing that takes up the entire screen - makes his face go absolutely crazy, like he's drunk at the club and the DJ has just put on his favourite banger.

He also comes packing that signature "evil clown" laugh, which can be heard right before his aforementioned final form. Probably because he's excited to kill you.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
