The Clown from Massacre at the Mirage is the main villain in the game, who goes on a murderous spree and ends up eliminating almost every present character at the fictional Crimson Town’s Mirage movie theater. He wears a goth-styled clown costume with proportionate shades of black and white. His devilish makeup, wide and demonic smile, bent horns, body paint, milkish white glowing eyes, and predator-like elongated nails combine to give an evil look that only matches his sadistic, dreary, and psychopathic vibe.
This clown doesn’t speak very much. He communicates through his hands and his mischievous, childlike smile. His overtly silent demeanor quickly begins to get unsettling and awkward as he just creepily stands in front of you and stares into your soul. It almost feels as if this clown is looking at you like how a predator stares at his prey before pouncing on it. The clown from Massacre at the Mirage gives off a very loathsome and uncomfortably cold vibe.
The clown lives in a secretive lair filled with half-melted burning candles, butchering equipment, elements of dark magic, and an eerie silence. As per his portrayal in the game, the clown from Massacre at the Mirage is a loner with no social skills and a visceral lust for human blood. He is like a bloodthirsty predator walking freely in a clown’s disguise among unsuspecting humans who have no idea that there’s a demonic entity standing two feet away from them.
The clown likes to wave his hands a lot like an amiable child to create a facade of friendliness and comfort just so he can lure people into getting closer. Another interesting fact about the clown is that his body can take all shapes and sizes according to his will. It later gets revealed in the climax that he is indestructible and most probably a demon. The clown from Massacre at the Mirage is quite the showman, as he likes to put on a show for his next victims.
Comparisons with Pennywise
Just like Pennywise, the clown from Massacre at the Mirage, brings an earnest endearment on his face and in his eyes to set up the mousetrap of friendliness for humans that get fascinated by his clown outfit and friendly demeanor, like unsuspecting rats heading for the meticulously placed piece of cheese on the mousetrap’s trigger. Although the Clown from Massacre at the Mirage doesn’t speak like the silver-tongued Pennywise, he waves his hands a lot and covers his mouth while smiling to signal friendly behavior. Another commonality between them is their innate talent of putting on an, although gore-filled, but creative show for their victims to watch.
Comparisons with Art the Clown
Art the Clown and the Clown from Massacre at the Mirage are spiritual cousins in a cinematic sense, as they both carry the same lust for blood, maniacal rage, and murderous intensity, and they both love to tease their victims before killing them. They are both pure sadists who derive pleasure from the barbaric acts of onslaught committed upon their victims. There’s an undeniable arrogance in their smiles as they both know it’s over for their victims once they have marked their target.
There’s no remorse or guilt in their demonic hearts. Both of them are silent, creepy, socially awkward, and murderous savages who see the act of butchering victims as a fun game to be played mindlessly and not something that demands planning or intent. Both of them are indestructible and protected by dark magic. Their style of killing is demonstrative, campy, undeniably over-the-top, and inventive.
