howdy folks are you ready to live
perfect you're gonna knock them dead
watch for me on tv we'll have lots of
fun
for this list we'll be looking at some
of the most haunting clowns that have
ever appeared on television shows
miniseries
and commercials which tv clown left you
with potential nightmares as a child
or as an adult let us know in the
comments below
all right it's going to get weird from
here on out onto the top 10.
number 10 robot clowns doctor who
get him ready
leave it to doctor who to provide us
with some of the creepiest characters
imaginable
in the greatest show in the galaxy
serial the doctor and his companion
ace visit saganax in this twisted world
a circus forces visitors to perform
come on doctor don't be shy those who
resist are manhandled by stoic
mechanical clowns
the awful automatons mindlessly obey
their sadistic and savage master without
question
while the angry chief clown is scary
there's something more unsettling about
the army of
robot clowns that show absolutely no
emotion
just because i said i don't like clam
doesn't mean i'm scared if clowns okay
[Music]
we know henchmen are supposed to be
intimidating but doctor who took it a
step too
far number nine ronald mcdonald of the
1960s
remember when you were a kid and
mcdonald's was the most exciting place
to go
his warm smile invited you to enjoy a
delicious hamburger
while his recent designs are pretty tame
ronald mcdonald's likeness gets creepier
the further back in time you go
the 1970s version was pretty unsettling
now picture him as a creepy clown
wearing what looks like garbage
inviting you over for fast food that's
basically what 1960s mcdonald's
commercials featured
here i am kid hey isn't watching tv fun
especially when you got delicious
mcdonald's hamburgers
this version of ronald was a not so
appetizing mashup of fast food
containers
and unsettling smiles he wore a tray as
a hat
a cup for a nose and served pure
nightmare fuel
watch for me on tv we'll have lots of
fun
the mascot looked more like he just
climbed out of the dumpster behind the
restaurant
than someone who actually represented it
number eight
the clown-faced scarecrow tales from the
crypt
is there anything scarier than a clown
version of something that's
already creepy to begin with
[Music]
tales from the crypt tried to answer
this question in one spooky story
in the four-sided triangle episode a
delusional farmhand named mary jo
falls in love with a scarecrow wearing a
clown mask i've been watching you out
here all day
it makes me feel so lonesome for you
i've seen you watching me too she tries
to meet up with her lover while the
randy and married owner of the farm
continuously makes unwanted advances
toward her
when mary jo refuses him the old farmer
disguises himself as the scarecrow of
her affections
his plan ironically backfires when his
wife accidentally murders him while
trying to prove that the scarecrow
isn't alive today when you showed up
don't argue with me you little fool
i'll show you a
[Music]
we still have one burning question
though who puts a creepy clown mask on a
scarecrow
number seven captain crazy the haunting
hour
the series ladies and gentlemen
boys and girls i am
captain crazy
remember those r.l stein books you used
to devour as a pre-teen or teenager
some things never really stop being
scary in an episode of the haunting hour
we met a boy named chris who has a
lifelong fear of clowns there really is
no reason to be afraid of clowns i'm
here for you
unfortunately he's continuously stalked
and tormented by
the circus staples chris is then forced
to confront his phobia when he's invited
to captain crazy's
cavalcade of clowns by a girl he likes
while the barrage of carnival clowns is
more than creepy
captain crazy himself is truly the stuff
of nightmares
sit back and relax this is all for you
chris it's all for you
what kind of a clown wears zombie s
contact lenses
and crimps their wig after watching this
episode
and discovering the twist yeah we we
completely understand chris's fears
number six zombozo ben
10. howdy folks
are you ready to laugh perfect
you're gonna knock them dead
ben 10 zombozo could be described as the
joker on steroids
not only is he a sadistic and evil clown
but he also has superpowers
zambozo has crazy amounts of strength
can conjure illusions and
stretch his limbs he gained these
abilities after he was
munched on by zombies but super powers
aren't the only thing zombozo
subsequently gained
after being bitten he developed a unique
craving
zombozo literally feeds on happiness
and laughter i love the sound of
laughter
it feeds my soul
once his victims are sapped to their joy
he starts devouring their fear
zombozo is further proof that combining
a clown with something that's already
creepy
results in a truly terrifying entity and
with a name like zombozo
duh you know he's gonna be scary ladies
and gentlemen and victims of all ages
welcome to the final act
i promise it'll be a
killer
[Laughter]
[Music]
number five zebo are you afraid of the
dark
you think i am some kind of clown a boy
named josh decides to visit a
spook house at a local amusement park to
prove that it is
nothing to fear once inside he steals
the nose off of a plastic clown named
zebo but zebo isn't having it the clown
torments josh in his everyday life until
the nose is returned
unfortunately the premise of the story
isn't the scariest part of this episode
zebo is the clown's grotesquely wide
features make him look like a funhouse
mirror image in real time
his mouth takes up the majority of his
face his eyes look like mutated glowing
olives and his
teeth are green and yellow it doesn't
matter whether
zebo was actually alive or just a
haunted house prop
just by the looks of him we certainly
wouldn't mess with this creepy clown's
nose
[Music]
number four joker batman the animated
series
keep your eyes open for the joker i'll
save you the trouble batman
although there have been many
incarnations of the psychotic clown
on tv the scariest one was arguably
voiced by mark hamill on
batman the animated series jingle bells
smell
robin laid an egg the batmobile lost the
wheel
with this imposing and intimidating
presence this version of the joker
strikes fear into pretty much
everyone except batman the villain says
and does what he wants without caring
about the potential consequences of his
actions
while this clown prince of crime can
seem like a silly performer who just
likes to make jokes at first he will
always leave his victims quaking with
fear later on
hamill's grandiose and expressive voice
over performance complements the
terrifying character
perfectly gonna call it a specialist
boss
no no just an old friend
who's dying to do me a favor
[Music]
[Laughter]
number three jerome velasquez gotham
gotham's developers once described
jerome velasquez as
a precursor to the joker he lived up to
that reputation by being a psychopathic
murderer that bounced in and out of
arkham asylum
after the former circus employee was
killed he was brought back via a
frightening resurrection process
although velasque regained his life he
lost his face
when i say three hairs past a freckled
gentleman
i do not mean five hairs past
veleska decided to crudely reattach it
before starting a new crime spree
much like the joker veleska is
intimidating
and imposing he's easily able to
influence his fellow asylum residents to
serve as
his minions veleska also treats his
heinous acts like part of some sort of
hilarious entertaining sideshow
meanwhile his maniacal and off-putting
laughter will
endlessly haunt his victims long after
they get away from his twisted face
number two twisty american horror story
twisty the clown was a popular staple at
rusty westchester's traveling carnival
after he spent some time in the
spotlight his envious co-workers started
a rumor
that he was mistreating children this
resulted in twisty being deposed and
disgraced
although he desperately wanted to
entertain and help children he was
constantly shut down
twisty eventually decided to turn a gun
on his own face
he wound up with a missing jaw that he
chose to replace with a horrifying
prosthetic grin
poor twisty just wants to be loved by
children but we don't think kidnapping
and murdering parents and other innocent
people was the best way for him to get
appreciation
[Music]
before we unveil our topic since we're
already freaking out anyway here are a
few honorable mentions
ice cream ghost clown masters of horror
buster seeks revenge for his untimely
[Music]

number one pennywise it
no clown theme tv list would be complete
without our old friend
pennywise
[Music]
petty wives is an old cosmic entity that
can take on the form of its praise
fears but since the evil monster loves
to attack children
it spends most of its time running
around as a clown to lull them into a
false sense of security
and pennywise the dancing clown
you are georgie so now we know each
other
although pennywise looks like a 1980s
birthday party clown
it is anything but its presence is
absolutely terrifying in every scene it
appears in
when the notorious pennywise first
appeared in the 1990 it mini series
tim curry donned the big red nose and
sharp teeth
the actor's signature grin and murderous
glare still give us chills to this day
come on up richie i got a balloon
for you
