Do you consider killer clowns in horror to be important to juggalo culture? I just watched Clown (2014) and I was thinking about this. Killer Klowns from Outer Space, It, Art, Wrinkles, etc. Who's your favorite? As a character, Art is horrible and great. Killer Klowns from Outer Space though is probably my favorite movie about killer clowns.

No need to apologize for a tangent. One of the things I love about ICP the most is the mythology that they built. The lore. I love that stuff. I'm not a religious person but I really love learning about the mythos behind it all. I did like the attempt at explaining the origins of clowns in the movie Clown. Little cheesy, but I like cheese.

Yea, i think they largely successfully balanced the cheese of the clown legend with the body horror elements and brutality, especially in the latter parts of the movie. That's a very interesting movie, 2014 clown. I get sucked in every time, the pacing is perfect.

Man, if you like band lore, NOFX hepatitis bathtub and other stories is such a fun and fascinating read. Extremely entertaining and gritty and blunt.

That sure is a combination of words lol I'll have to look into that.
