POLTERGEIST (1982)
TOY CLOWN
ATTACKS BOY UNDER BED
Clowns
are scary enough, but when your toy clown strangles you and pulls you
under the bed, it's enough to make you want to kill Ronald McDonald
out of pure self preservation! This is a wonderfully scary moment
near the end of Poltergeist. The lovely daughter of the family has
been returned from "The Other Side", and the house apparently
cleansed of all evil. Its bedtime, and little Robbie looks at his
chair where his clown was sitting, only to see it missing. He looks
about the room and with great hesitation, peeks under his bed. But
nothing's there! When he gets up the clown is behind him with an
evil grin and starts choking the poor kid. Parents, let this be a
lesson to NEVER buy a clown doll for your kid (or build a house on
top of a cemetery, for that matter).
