Clown horror games

Painted grins, red noses and squeaking shoes turn up in these games where they should not be. You hide from a clown hunting you through an empty park, keep a door shut on one at night, cross a carnival full of them or play as the killer behind the mask. The fear is a face made to look happy that keeps coming closer.
