The Story

The stories are his weapon.

Night after night, the Nightmare Clown returns with tales from a world of the dead. The frightened listener can hide beneath the covers, demand that he leave, or refuse to listen—but the clown has already made his claim.

This is not a circus clown wandering through someone else's nightmare. He is a recurring presence with a domain of his own: the darkness beneath the bed, where every new tale can open another door into his world.

Beyond a single tale

A nightmare can become a world.

The Nightmare Clown is more than one frightening image. His domain can grow through new tales, recurring characters, illustrated episodes, short videos and relics from the world he inhabits.

This page is built as his permanent home. As that world expands, new stories and characters can enter here without replacing what came before.
