10 Most Disturbing Clowns In Video Games

4. Adam The Clown (Dead Rising)

There are many ways to make clowns creepier than they already are. One way is to add zombies - as we've already discussed - but another is to add chainsaws.

Mix those two elements together and sprinkle on a hefty dose of insanity, and you've got Dead Rising's Adam MacIntyre - also known as Adam The Clown.

Formerly a regular, cheery clown at the Parkview Mall, Adam was driven mad when the zombie apocalypse hit and everyone around him started getting eaten. By the time you encounter him in the game, he's developed a creepy laugh, has an affinity for chainsaws (which he can also juggle - because reasons), and, annoyingly, he's intent on slicing you to pieces like you're nothing more than a hunk of meat.

Your next move is to beat the living daylights out of him and send him to the great big circus in the sky, which leads to a horrific death scene in which Adam belly-flops onto both his chainsaws, causing blood to spew everywhere.

A disturbing death to match an equally disturbing life. At least, the part of his life where he was a chainsaw-wielding maniac.
