The Killer Clown

The Killer Clown refers to John Wayne Gacy, an American serial killer active in the 1970s. He was known for dressing as a clown, "Pogo," during community events, which contrasted with his violent crimes. Gacy sexually assaulted and murdered at least 33 young men and boys, hiding their bodies in his home and nearby wooded areas. His dual life as a friendly clown and a convicted murderer shocked the public and became a symbol of the disturbing presence of hidden evil behind a normal appearance.
