Characters- The Villain


The villain in our film is going to be a evil clown. A Clown is an artist or performer who pretends to be a fool or foolish and acts out or acts up, in order to amuse his audience. In short, he's a comedian, someone who tries to make you laugh by being funny. A clown is perceived to be an entertainer usually at the circus or kids parties therefore creating a clown that is the complete opposite to this will be terrifying, and the familiar childhood image of the clown will be changed.

The image of the evil clown is a development in American popular culture in which the playful trope of the clown is rendered as disturbing through the use of horror elements and dark humor. The image of an evil or scary clown has been used in other horror movies. A well known one is the joker, in batman, who is a murderously insane evil super villain with a disturbing clown-like appearance. Another well known clown character is from Stephen King's novel It, as well as the TV movie featuring Tim Curry, which revolves around seven children who are haunted by an evil shape-shifting creature that often takes the form of an evil clown named Pennywise.
