Ok, true story... I was playing piano in a tiny church in a storefront, my friend led the music and his dad was the preacher. There were maybe 30, 40 people who attended. One time during the sermon I tuned out but I guess I heard him say, "but do you know what's REALLY scary?"
And in my head I said "a drunk clown with no pants on" but apparently I actually said it out loud, and because he was pausing rhetorically everybody there heard it.
I was not asked back.

 

One of my favorite FrogLeap covers, Slipknot - Duality. Still a sad, creepy clown. I like it!

 

Just watched Longlegs. Great makeup, costume design, hair etc. Very scary characterization!

 

Clown Dimitri - "Le Porteur" (1988)

 

I met him at a Steiner School event. He is a very nice dude.
