 * The Joker - Although sometimes played for laughs most depictions of the Joker are monstrous, in-keeping with his psychopathic nature.
 * Pennywise - A strong contender for embodying this archetype, from the Stephen King novel, strikes terror into your very core that an evil clown is simply meant to do to adults, teenagers, and kids alike.
 * Ronald McDonald (meme adaptations) - Most parodies of Ronald show him as a monster rather than for laughs.
 * Kefka Palazzo - Although originally played for laughs, Kefka becomes more and more brutal as the game progresses.

 * Horny the Clown - Again, the name pretty much says it all.
 * Killer Klowns - The whole concept of this movie was that modern clowns are actually memories of encounters with a monstrous alien race.

 * Sweet Tooth - Insane Psycho clown Killer from the Twisted Metal video game series.
 * Jack the Clown - The first icon for Universal's Halloween Horror Nights.

 * Dimentio - Like Kefka, starts out being played for laughs, although as the game progresses he becomes significantly more brutal and disturbing.
 * Krusty the Clown, the shameless, egomaniac TV-clown from The Simpsons. Always looking to making the next buck, lamenting wasting his life and forgetting his multi-time saviors Bart and Lisa Simpsons due to various problems. According to several episodes, he does not wear make-up.
