EVIL LIVES: a Total Nightmare
Some movies employ scares every 5-minutes, build atmosphere, use gore or a dark plot to bring the horror alive.
What is interesting about this genre is that for some clowns could be funny, scary for others. Some people prefer original, others the freshness of a remake.
Here are my top picks from the genre
