Clowns are constantly being shown to us in movies, sometimes as major characters (such as Pennywise in IT) but more often as smaller roles and even just flashes of subliminal imagery. This series, “Clowns in Film & Movies,” shows examples of this horrifying reality.

Today it’s Wreck-it Ralph (2012). Early in the movie at a party, there is a clown making drinks for no reason (clowns = drunks). And then later when Fix-it Felix is trapped in a Candy Prison, there are subliminal clown images on the walls. Creepy.
