  • How would you unleash a palgue of kilelr clowns?

    With the recent news about people dressing up as clowns and stalking/attacking people world-wide, I've been wondering about how to use killer clown attacks in an adventure and what type of origin would you use for a horde of killer clowns?

    I had thought about making them cyborgs or possessed by/actual demons but wondered what backstory others would use..?

      You could go the route of Eli Roth's film and our ideas of clowns are the result of ancestral memories of garish demons. Or, if you want to be a bit sillier, it's a bite-transmitted curse. Lastly, it could be like Joker and his crew and they just dress that way because they think it's funny / terrifying.

        Vampires with a twisted sense of humor.

          Evil super scientist has been experimenting with:

          a) Cyborgs
          b) Clones
          c) Nanobots
          d) Super Serum

          that has the strange after effect of making them clown-like in appearance. While Dr. Nefario (or whatever) is preparing his unintentionally clown-like army of super soldiers to take over the city, a few of the wilder ones have broken free of his lab and have begun to plauge the citizens.

          Ultimately after the heroes uncover Dr. Nefario scheme and face off with his clown forces culminating in their battle with the clown leader General Chuckles.

            A horrible accident at a local carnival changed these clowns into something truly horrifying!

              * Demon clowns
              * People turned into clowns as a result of a demonic curse (or some idiot making a wish to an evil djinn)
              * New gang of thugs that just enjoy freaking people out
              * Bitten by radioactive clowns
              * Magical clown virus that transfers to others when they laugh at (or scream at or otherwise react to) an infected clown's antics
              * Non-magical clown virus transferred to others via special pies in the face thrown by other infected clowns
              * Robot clowns built by a tech genius mastermind
              * A more noteworthy villain group trying to cover up it's usual criminal M.O. by dressing as clowns
              * Mind control mastermind rewiring people's brains one victim at a time
              * Clown Event 2016 - a mysterious flash of glittering light explodes over the city and various people are randomly transformed into evil clowns
              * Aliens who look like Earth clowns are scouting the city and looking for something, and they don't care who they hurt in the process
              * Very powerful reality-manipulating child fears clowns and is inadvertantly transforming people into clowns (perhaps people he already finds scary, like dentists and local gang members)
              * Ghost clowns haunting the living because Halloween is almost upon us
              * Insanely rich bad guy hires a bunch of thugs to dress as clowns and cause a big commotion to draw attention away from another part of the city where he plans to strike
              * Stupid kids just trying to scare people
              * Not clowns, just a rather colorfully-dressed street gang who was mistaken for clowns because they only come out at night and are very pasty-faced as a result
              * No clowns, just an urban myth started that got out of hand when some people faked a video on YouTube that went viral and caused numerous others to fake similar videos
              * Cartoon clowns brought to life from TV when a nigh-omnipotent interdimensional imp drops in to complicate everyone's lives until someone makes him say his name backwards
              * Vampires dressing as clowns to lull people into a false sense of security for easier meals
