Welcome toe watch, Mojo.

And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10.

Scariest clowns in movies.

Uhh!

Uh oh.

Uh oh.

It's a matter of kids.

Don't you like clowns?

For this list, we'll be looking at the creepiest most panic inducing clowns to ever grace the silver screen as well as our nightmares were focused specifically on big screen clowns.

So apologies to twisty from American Horror Story A Z always beware of spoilers and scary clowns ahead.

Number 10.

Killjoy, Killjoy franchise.

Honey, I'm home.

Like all great movie clowns, killjoys charm comes from his not taking himself too seriously.

It looks fine, almost equal parts comedy and horror.

This franchise has somehow churned out numerous films featuring the same character, with each installment basically telling the same story.

Killjoy is a demonically possessed doll come to life by Black Magic, whose goal is to seek revenge on whoever wronged his its owner.

The scariest part Killjoy has a knack for taking things too far, and you might even say he takes a little too much joy in killing.

In case that part, was it all unclear from the title.

Oh, there have been several of these movies since 2000, which just goes to show you can't kill an already dead premise.

Number nine the clowns.

Killer clowns from outer space.

Cheesy.

Yes, Over the top.

Yes.

Does it still scare the pants off us?

You better believe it.

Uhh!

Uh uh Oh, It's been over 30 years since this piece of cinematic high art grace theaters, and it's still hard to look away from.

There's just something about alien clowns wrecking havoc on the world in a low budget movie that makes for compelling viewing.

What are you gonna dio knock my block off?

Sure.

The makeup and can't be effects certainly leaves something to be desired.

But honestly, that all just adds to the overall creep factor.

Cheesy or not, these alien clowns didn't just invade Earth.

They got deep into our psyches.

Where?

Let's face it, they're still doing damage.

Number eight.

Binky shakes the clown.

Apparently by the early nineties, film audiences were bored with run of the mill devious clowns.

So one filmmaker added a twist.

A devious clown with a drug problem.

Then he gave the clown his own.

Weirdly entertaining variety show, and the rest is history.

It's time for games left, perhaps a cartoon fun off all the clowns in this dark comedy.

Binky is definitely the one who will leave you sleeping with one eye open.

Binky sings, dances and has a way with Children.

What more can we ask from a scary clown?

What about my need?

13 hearty fun fact.

The actor playing Binky is Tom Kenny, the same guy who voices Sponge Bob Square pants.

We'll never look at the sponge the same way again.

Ne number seven Zombie clown zombie land this movie maybe more comedy than horror.

But as soon as clowns air involved, all bets are basically off.

But the thing I fear more than anything, yes, even more than zombies.

Clowns?

Sure, the zombie clown doesn't get much screen time.

But let's be honest with ourselves.

What's scarier than hiding out in a carnival during a zombie apocalypse on Lee to find out there are zombie clowns around?

Oh, my God.

Uh huh.

Look at this fucking clown.

Uh, a zombie is bad.

Ah, clown is worse, but a zombie clown.

That's the world we don't even want to imagine.

What's next?

Vampire clowns, Shark clowns?

We can keep going, but we'd prefer not to give up our billion dollar film franchise Ideas to Hollywood.

In fact, scratch that last part about shark clowns.

That one's ours.

This'll clown What Number six Kent McCoy clown.

Here's an interesting take on the whole scary clown trope.

What if the so called villainous clown was actually a normal guy who gets turned into a demonic clown when he puts on a costume off?

That's precisely the set up in 2014 clown, and it's a pretty darn scary one.

Kent McCoy is no different than any of us, really, until his clown costume refuses to come off.

Oh, and we sympathize.

Sort of wearing that kind of outfit in that amount of makeup, day in and day out would drive any sane person bonkers.

Oh, number five, The Joker in the Dark Knight or a ha Well, Keith, I thought my jokes were bad.

Joker isn't your typical clown.

This incarnation of the character doesn't juggle or even attempts to make a balloon animal, although in fairness, Joaquin's Joker did attempts to entertain sick kids at a hospital.

E you know this clown is in a league of his own, and his terror comes primarily from his diabolical genius.

See, I'm not a monster.

I'm just ahead of the curve.

Ah, worthy photo, Batman and a testament to the depraved soul who just wants to watch the world burn.

The Joker scares us because despite the makeup and the antics, he's a character we believe could exist.

And that frightens the crap out of us.

I'm a man of my word.

Oh, Number four.

Captain Spaulding, House of 1000 Corpses.

In some universes, it probably takes more than some ultra creepy face paint to constitute an actual clown.

But for this list, Scary makeup is enough.

And few film characters in recent memory have a scarier overall effects than Captain Spaulding from Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses, not to mention its Sequels, The Devil's Rejects and Three from Hell.

Kevin, don't You Never turn Your Back on the Crown when he's talking Thio Spalding is big, boozy and bad.

Three overall depravity and sense of dread in the Firefly trilogy are largely owed to his ominous, morally erratic presence.

It's a matter, kid, don't you like?

Clowns don't get us wrong.

There are no real good characters in these films, as their titles would probably suggest.

But in terms of pure, sadistic evil, Captain Spaulding takes the birthday cake.

I'll tell you what, Ski King.

Why don't you just take your mama home some chicken and then I won't have to stuff my boot all up in your ass?

I don't like chicken.

And I hate clowns.

Number three Art the clown.

Terrifying.

Okay, so a clown on the prowl isn't the most original premise.

But, hey, if you're going to cheap out on storyline, the least you could do is go heavy on the gore.

And, boy, does this movie do just that?

Oh, way.

Follow art.

The clown, basically an amalgam of the scariest clowns that came before him, who essentially hunts down women in an old, decrepit apartment building on Halloween night.

But if you thought this was just another lazy paint by numbers slasher flick, you're dead wrong.

In fact, you're downright clowning.

Art is aptly enough, terrifying.

From his menacing smile to his porcelain doll outfit.

He certainly earns his spot on this list.

Oh, my God.

You're never gonna believe what I just heard on the radio?

Yes, Number two.

Poltergeist Clown Poltergeist.

Let's acknowledge for a moment that this hit from the early eighties combined one of the horror genre's most successful directors, Toby Hooper, with Hollywood's most accomplished visionary in Steven Spielberg, Honestly, how could it not succeed?

And a big part of the films winning formula comes from its ability to scare people, especially Children, on a deep and visceral level.

Yeah, let's formal.

Okay, Way thought Zombie clowns were scary, but toy clowns that watch us as we sleep kids just didn't stand a chance after this one.

There is something so eerie about a smiling toy clown sitting in the corner of a bedroom that it makes us wonder whether the movie spawned the stereotype or whether scary toy clowns have always haunted us on a subconscious level.

Before we unveil our topic, here are a few honorable mentions Violator spawn for those who like their clowns especially disgusting and belligerent.

Yeah, oops.

Well, what what?

I hope that it stayed my underwear jack in the box.

Krampus, because what better way to scare kids than to combine toys with clowns?

Head clown?

The houses October built because who hasn't driven across country in search of the scariest haunted house.

He he who gets slapped for those classic clown lovers, stitches, stitches because even low budget indie clowns or terrifying that before we continue, be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos.

Number one Penny wise it franchise.

Was there ever any doubt who would show up at the top of this list?

Whether he's played by Tim Curry or Bill Scars guard Pennywise is like the acme of the scary clown.

I'm every nightmare you've ever had.

I am your worst dream come true.

I'm everything you ever were afraid of.

Seriously, the character is literally the embodiment of Children's fears, and even with the ability to shape shift into just about anything, it's scariest form is undoubtedly Pennywise, the dancing clown.

Remember?

Although the newer films relied a little too heavily on C.

G.

I, there is something so menacing and visceral about a clown who lures Children down to the sewers to feast upon their fear.

Hi, Georgie.

What a nice book.

Doing it back.

No matter who plays him, the character uses terror.
