Clownhouse
It was discovered that director Victor Salva had been molesting the film's 12-year-old star, Nathan Forrest Winters, during production. Later it was discovered in Salva's house several videos and pictures of sexual nature of the film's co-star Brian McHugh, indicating he was also molested, but his parents wouldn't let him get involved in the case that was built against Salva.,(at around 19 mins) When Geoffrey comes out of the Clown Show tent to look for Casey, you can see the shadow of the camera.,Geoffrey: Trouble at that mad house
Casey: [Worried] Where the crazy people live
Randy: Why would any of them want to break out?
Geoffrey: [Comically] Maybe to go to the circus!,Before the credits role: No man can hide from his fears; as they are a part of him, they will always know where he is hiding.,Featured in WatchMojo: Top 10 Scariest Clowns in Movies and TV (2014),Clownhouse was a film that gave me the creeps. I was in my mid-20's when I watched it and it spooked me.

Clowns are horrible things when you think about it. I could never trust a clown so when you consider it, this film had a good premise and despite the lack of blood and gore, it is a very good film relying more on chills and thrills rather than blood and gore.

Some lunatics escape from an asylum and dress up as clowns. One night, three lads are in the house on their own...and you can guess the rest.

I won't spoil any bits but there are some truly creepy scenes. I'd love to tell you them but it would spoil it.

All in all, Clownhouse is a very effective chiller. And I don't believe it is an exaggeration to call it a chiller.,
