16. Joker, Suicide Squad
We have high expectations whenever this Batman villain makes an appearance, so Jared Leto's over-hyped performance in Suicide Squad left us somewhat dissatisfied. He was all but irrelevant to the story, and his on-screen persona seemed decidedly less sociopathic than the horrors he put the cast through during filming.

15. Harley Quinn, Suicide Squad
The DC villain (played by Margot Robbie in the 2016 Suicide Squad film) has a history that's almost as tortuous as the mayhem the character causes.
Harley is an incredibly fun character, but she rarely delivers a solid scare.

14. Clown aliens, Killer Klowns from Outer Space
It's hard to stay scared at the smiling extra terrestrials that hail from this 1988 sci-fi cult comedy — even if they do eat people.
They're still better than Jared Leto's Joker, though.

13. Shawn "Clown" Crahan, Slipknot
Don't let the creepy clown mask creep you out (much). Underneath, the percussionist from the Grammy-winning heavy-metal band is just a "grumpy old man."

12. Clown Zombie, Zombieland
Nothing terrorizes our hero (Jesse Eisenberg) in this 2009 comedy-horror hybrid more than "f---ing" clowns.
In the end, he fells one (Derek Graf) easily enough. All it took was courage. (And a blow to the skull.)

11. Ghost clown, Scooby Doo, Where Are You!
Look at this clown. Lurking. Watching. Waiting.
Classic Scooby Doo villains typically don't unnerve us, but we are so not here for a creepy clown that uses mind control on meddling kids (and their little dog, too). You can catch clips of this freaky episode (Bedlam in the Big Top) on YouTube.

10. Sweet Tooth, Twisted Metal
This Bozo-faced psychopath is "the most aggressive competitor" in the car-combat franchise. For extra-creepy measure, he occasionally tools around in an ice-cream truck.

9. Kefka Palazzo, Final Fantasy VI
This gaming favorite, first seen in Final Fantasy VI, is a stylishly and devilishly mad war criminal.
Few clowns on the list have a body count anywhere near as high as Kefka's. (RIP Doma Castle.)

8. Adam the Clown, Dead Rising
This mild-mannered mall clown loses his mind (but gains a couple of chainsaws) during this game's zombie apocalypse.

7. Demon clown, Clown
In this 2016 horror flick produced by Eli Roth (who also appears as Frowny the Clown), a dad (Andy Powers) lives everyone's worst nightmare: He dons a clown suit, and then can't get it off (because it's possessed).

6. Violator, Spawn
A corpulent clown is the most notorious guise for this demon (played by John Leguizamo in the 1997 Spawn film) who, in addition to being a maniac, is a "real bastard" too.

5. Joker, The Dark Knight
Though this Gotham City clown can be fun, he's usually downright disturbing. Few people captured his dark, twisted insanity quite like Heath Ledger ... though Jack Nicholson's take in the original Batman (1989) is a close second.

4. Toy clown, Poltergeist
Kid! Behind you....! Behind you!
Oh, good grief, we can't look. The toy-clown scene in 1982's Poltergeist isn't merely scarier than the same bit in the 2015 remake, it's the "scariest thing ever." (Especially if you watched as a child.)

3. John Wayne Gacy
This Illinois man who performed shows at children's parties (as depicted by Mark Holton in the 2003 movie, Gacy) was a real-life "killer clown."
Gacy was executed in 1994 for the murders of 33 people.

2. Pennywise, It
Stephen King's kid-killing terror will be played by Bill Skarsgård (shown) in the new big-screen adaptation due out in late 2017.
Tim Curry's portrayal in the original 1990 TV movie, meanwhile, still causes us to lose sleep. Never trust a clown in a sewer.

1. Twisty, American Horror Story: Freak Show
When Ryan Murphy approached actor John Carroll Lynch about playing Twisty, the TV bigwig said "he wanted to create the most terrifying clown in the history of television."
Murphy definitely succeeded.
