4. Grimm (Quick Change, 1990)
The Clown: Frustrated New Yorker Grimm (Bill Murray) makes a plan to escape the city by robbing a bank. His disguise is a red suit, big floppy shoes and enough face paint to make Joan Rivers jealous.
Why He’s Funny: A seriously deadpan style, which really works for Murray. When asked what the hell kind of clown he is, he quips, “The crying on the inside kind, I guess.” Plus he has balloons. Kids love balloons.
Why He’s Terrifying: In the other hand, he’s holding a gun. And he’s robbing a bank. The last time we were in a bank that was being robbed, we wet our trousers with terror-urine.

I thought this was a great performance by Williams and when you look at the subject matter it was so well thought and delivered by him

You forgot the scariest looking clown of all time (well maybe after Tim Curry's Pennywise) : the living dead clown from George A. Romero's Day of the Dead. He's only on screen for a coupla frames but he scared the bejesus out of me when I was a kid.
