| ~ The Clöyne |
The Clöyne is a demonic child-eating clown and the titular main antagonist of the 2014 horror film, Clown.
He was portrayed primarily by Andy Powers, while a stunt double portrayed him in his final form.
What Makes It Pure Evil?[]
- For supposedly centuries, it lured 5 children into his cave (one for every month of winter) to eat them.
- While its origins are obscure, there's no evidence to suggest the Clöyne is made of evil.
- After being slayed from its body, it takes possession of whoever wears it so the wearer can't take it off-leading the wearer to severely hurt themselves trying to get it off, and to either have to eat 5 children or decapitate themselves in order to exorcise the demon.
- Gradually the wearer would change into the Clöyne through a very painful transformation process, which involved coughing and throwing up blood.
- When Herbert "Bert" Karlson puts the costume on to cheer up some kids at the hospital his brother Martin works at, the demon takes possession of Bert and forces Martin to feed 5 dying children from his hospital to the Clöyne in order to free his brother. Bert lived the rest of his life wishing Martin had killed him instead.
- When Kent McCoy puts on the costume to entertain his son, Jack, and his friends for his birthday party, the Clöyne puts him through the same process he had done to Bert, making his family think he was going insane and turning them against him in the process.
- Forces Kent to bite a boy's fingers off.
- When Kent accidentally kills a young boy with a blade in an attempt to kill himself, the Clöyne forces him to eat his dead body.
- Forces Kent to eat a bully at his son's, Jack's, school. While the kid was mean to Jack, he did not deserve to die by any means.
- When the family dog eats the clown nose after Meg forcibly rips it off of Kent's, the Clöyne takes possession of the dog and tries to make him kill Meg. Bert Karlson is forced to cut the poor thing's head off.
- As the demon takes greater control over Kent, he forces him to eat a child in a ball pit a Chuck E. Cheese. When the older brother of one of his attempted victims distracts him from killing the younger sibling, he eats said brother infront of the boy as he escapes.
- Herbert Karlsson is arrested for the creature's child murders it committed while possessing Kent.
- Tries to make Kent kill his wife, Meg, their unborn child, and Jack while succeeding in making him kill his father-in-law.
- It's revealed in ancient drawings that Bert Karlson wasn't the first to fall victim to the Clöyne's curse.
- Tried on two occasions to trick Meg into thinking that Kent was still visible inside and wanted her help.
- Meg is forced to decapitate her own husband because the Clöyne wouldn't let him go.
- While it remains unknown as to whether or not the Clöyne had to eat children in order to survive, evidence points to him doing what he does out of sadism as well:
- He tricked Meg into taking a child with her to meet him someplace, promising to let Kent go and to not eat Jack if she did so, but it was later reveled to be a ploy to get her distracted so he could track Jack down to her house-meaning that out of all the children he could have eaten, he specifically chose Kent's son, proving that the Clöyne clearly revels in the idea of forcing a man into murdering his family, and thus establishing a moral agency.
- He forced Kent to murder his father-in-law right in front of Meg, laughed as Meg slipped on a pool of blood in running away, and tried to tear open her stomach to eat the fetus of her unborn child (which would have killed her) in addition to Jack, despite only needing 5 children.
