Killer Clowns abound!

As Halloween approaches, Hulu is releasing a new doc October 12th called 'Clown Panic."

Gizmodo: “Featuring chilling archive footage, viral internet videos, and revealing interviews with witnesses, law enforcement, clowns, and cultural commentators, Clown Panic examines the collision of fear, social media, and modern America at a moment of deep national anxiety. Darkly funny, unsettling, and unexpectedly emotional, the film uncovers how a bizarre urban legend spiraled into a global moral panic that has echoes that resonate today.”

The killer clown genre never dies. In 2025, I watched the movie "Clown in a Cornfield," which was pretty good.

Since 2020, there have been at least eight movies featuring killer clowns.

Are you scared?
