Which of these books would you say has the scariest & least scary clown? I have to admit I've never really understood why some people find clowns so inherently creepy 😅

To be fair, I've only read IT from this list, and the 1990 movie was my favourite childhood movie, so I might not be the best person to ask...

i'm not sure how accurate it is but i'm pretty sure i've seen people say that a lot of coulrophobia actually stems from IT. i personally don't find it to be a creepy clown (it's the other aspects of its character that are creepy) but that's understandable. personally i'm in the middle of reading frendo lives and THAT clown is making me deeply uncomfortable (extremely positive. adam cesare is such a good horror writer)
