@almanac01 You wanted him creepier, wrote a backstory... hope it's to your liking quote:
Backstory: Jack was once a clown who liked to spread happiness and joy among children and grownups alike, he liked his job and relished in the laughters his antics drew. He was a gentle soul who only wanted people to feel joy, like he did, but one day when he entertained at a party he was going to do one of his famous magic tricks: pull a rabbit out of a hat. He had prepared everything and went on stage, what he didn't know was that the older brother of the birthday girl was jaelous of the attention his sister got and was bent on ruining her birthday. He snuck into the clowns dressing room and cut the head of the rabbit. When the clown pulled the rabbit all he got was the detatched, bloody head. All the children screamed and the parents quickly kicked him out, promising to tell everyone and blacklist him forever from entertaining again. He was devastated and tried to plea with them but to no avail and when he heartbroken went away the last thing he saw was the boy laughing from a window above and Jack understood... Jack tried to scrape up his career but everywhere he turned the reputation of that disasterous birthday party had reached before him. He couldn't get any work spreading the joy he so eagerly longed to but finally he was offered a new job, as a murderous clown in a Haunted House. It was like twisting the knife already stabbed in his heart but he took it because he had no choise. He began scaring kids insted, the Haunted House having the Horror Clown as a headline, and every time he saw the kids faces twist in fear he died a little inside. Something snapped in Jack in that House of Horrors, his soul twisted he swore vengence. He went back to the house of the family that had caused his descent into dispair and slashed the parents with a carving knife and the brother who'd been the architect of his downfall was dismembered in his bed, his hands and feet tied with springs from his own mattress, and the head left on the daughters bed post with "THIS TIME IT WAS ME!" written on the wall in the blood of her brother. This act of vengence drove Jack over the edge into insanity and he began to invent new reasons for killing families, his twisted reasoning justifying the deeds with as little as that they'd looked at him in a crooked way. The tales of the murderous clown spread across the country, noone feeling safe in their homes anymore and clowns all over bearing the cross of Jacks actions when they were villified by association. The Clown Guild finally didn't see any other option than to contain Jack. They were too afraid of having him killed outright since they couldn't know what would become of his spirit so they enlisted the services of a witch who was to capture him. She constructed an enchanted box in which Jacks essence would be held forever and the Clown Guild asked to meet him in a secluded place. When Jack entered the grove in which the Guild were supposed to meet him the trap was sprung and Jack, body and soul, was sucked into the box. However Jack had grown so strong that he couldn't be completley contained, his head burst up from the box again but was leashed to the box by one of the very bed springs that he's used to tie the brother up with. Half free and half captured he laughed manically when he began to slaughter the Guild saving the witch for last swallowing her whole realizing that he was getting stronger with every soul he consumed. Once every clown that had betrayed him was dead he grinned and bounced away in his box, away to find more souls to devour...
