    • Trivia
      Movie posters featuring the clown were censored in Italy for being "too scary".
    • Goofs
      When Kent is driving with Karlsson (at about 27 minutes), he starts turning into the demon, and his feet break through the front of his shoes. In the next scene, when Kent gets out of the car (after it crashes) and opens the back door to take Karlsson out, there's a quick shot of his shoes and they're intact.
    • Quotes

      Karlsson: Jack, you have to kill your daddy.

    Holy Crap!! Better Hide the Kids!
    HOLY CRAP!!!! BETTER HIDE THE KIDS!!!! I watched this movie not expecting much given the title. Boy my wife and I were in for a Surprise!!! This was the best Horror movie I have seen in a while. This movie went well beyond our expectations.

    This was a "Gutwrenching" wild ride of a true horror.

    I still cannot believe the carnage done to those sweet innocent kids!!! I also found the story regarding the "origin" of "The Clown" an interesting touch.

    The title although appropriate weakened my expectations a bit, so perhaps they should have used a better title.

    This movie would have given me nightmares forever if I had seen it as a kid!!!!! The acting was more than top notch, in that their reactions to the horror before them was believable on so many levels Well done!
