Midnight Pals: Terrifier

Damien Leone: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the evil clown
King: oh, is it a demon that appear as a clown to scare children?
Leone: what? no
Leone: it's just a regular clown
Barker: what, like
Barker: from a circus?
Leone: no the clown has no back story

Leone: see, that's the scary thing about this clown
Leone: he has no backstory, no motivations, nothing
Leone: he's just a complete blank slate
Leone: but also he's kind of an annoying capering theater kid

Barker: why's he a clown then?
Leone: what do you mean?
Barker: i mean, is it just like his job or what
Leone: i already told you
Leone: it's a mystery

King: ok but this evil clown
King: he's probably got some cool clown themed kills right?
Leone: oh yeah definitely
Leone: for example
Leone: he's got a gun

King: wait
King: the clown has a gun?
Leone: yeah, clown kills people with a gun
King:
Poe:
Koontz:
Lovecraft:
Barker:
King: is it in some kind of clown related way or
Leone: no he shoots them

King: oh wait i get it!
King: he's probably does that thing where he's got a gun that has a little flag that says BANG and
Leone: no a regular gun
King: or maybe a squirt gun that
Leone: no a regular gun with bullets

King: is that
King: is that a normal thing for a clown to do?
Leone: no it's completely unrelated to him being a clown
Leone: it is not thematic to being a clown

Leone: the thing about art the clown
Leone: is that he's actually very funny
Leone: he's a funnier character than we've ever had before
Leone: he's really key to the whole thing

Leone: let me tell you, kids love this clown!
Leone: they can't get enough of his capering buffoonery!
Leone: he's very funny!
Leone: trust me on this

Barker: honestly this clown is kinda just annoying
Leone: no no he's very funny!
Barker: how do you figure that?
Leone: well he is a clown
King: that is true
King: he IS a clown
