Subject: What is the name of this killer clown movie?
I saw a movie back on tv in the late 1970's. It was about a criminal who was killing people while dressed up as clown. I cannot remember what the title was,who was in it,and whether it was in color or black and white. Can anybody help? And no it was not "Killer Klowns from Outer Space","Quick Change","Stephen King's It" and "Shakes the Clown". Those films had not been made yet. LOL! It might be "The Clown Murders" with a young John Candy,but I doubt it. It looked old even by 1970's standards. It looked like it was made in the 1950's or 1960's. :D Thanks! Sincerely,S.B.

Are you talking about real life serial murderer John Wayne Gacy, among other things he was a clown for childrens parties.Sorry but I don't remember John Candy in a movie about clowns, hopefully someone else may. I know Brian Dennehy made a movie about Gacy back in 1999.

In 1981, I remember watching a killer clown type of movie called:
The Funhouse
Pay to get in. PRAY to get out.

Two young couples on a double date go to a mysterious carnival...
*In my opinion, It was an ok B film. It probably isn't the one you're looking for though. I don't think they would have shown this on TV.

It sometimes airs on tv. I recently saw it on AMC last October. :)
A good film. Actually it wasn't a clown. It was a missunderstood ,disfigured carnival worker.
Back to the topic, I don't know any movies. Sorry.

Sorry my friends. But I saw this movie back in 1979,and it looked like a low budget movie. I think it might have been British too. Perhaps a film released by Hammer Studios? ???Thanks for the memories! Sincerely,Steve.
