Killer Clowns -The Evil Behind The Mask - Lena Heide-Brennand

Step into the eerie realm of our lecture, where we'll unravel the unsettling phenomenon of Killer Clowns

Friday night special!

Step into the eerie realm of our lecture, where we'll unravel the unsettling phenomenon of Killer Clowns that have haunted and captivated popular culture. From the menacing Pennywise in Stephen King's "It" to the haunting jesters of "American Horror Story," these enigmatic jesters have left an indelible mark.

Explore the ghoulish antics of John Wayne Gacy, a real-life serial killer who hid behind a clown persona, and how this sinister influence seeped into the twisted narratives of films like "The Joker." Uncover how the clown, once a symbol of laughter and joy, has metamorphosed into an emblem of terror in movies, TV shows, and even the darkest corners of the internet.

Join us under the big top as we dissect the cultural impact, psychological fascination, and the societal fear surrounding these grinning malefactors. Buckle up, because this is not your ordinary circus – this is a carnival of knowledge that will leave you both enthralled and terrified!
