One time I was travelling through Latin America and we stopped somewhere at a food place by the road. They said: see that huge rock in the field there? One time many years ago there was a circus in town, and everybody in the town went, and it was in that field. But then there was an earthquake, and a mudslide started, and it was wiping everything out. But a clown managed to get a bunch of kids to safety and they huddled on that rock while the mud wiped out everything around them, killing everyone else in the town.

Maybe it was all BS but it was a pretty vivid image. (edit: OMFG I remembered it mostly right.)

There’s a memorial in my town for a department store Santa Claus who rescued a bunch of people from a fire and then died in that fire.

Being scalded to death in a vat of boiling toothpaste that you are dipped into head-first while being held by clamps attached to your toes would certainly be far less pleasant.

Especially if it was that bubble gum toothpaste they give to kids.

Why are you people down voting this? That is indeed a much worse way to die. ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE TRUTH?

I’m pretending that they downvoted it because they were horrified he could come up with something so horrifying.

Eating cheese balls anonymously is the best way to eat cheese balls.

Oh, good to know, and here I was thinking that it was improper infrastructure and safety inspections, but sure, blame the clown, okay… 🙄

Same thought. That’s gotta be a pretty shitty bridge.

You didn’t have to add the murder clown picture though.

Fantastic first movie, and I’m still one of the few that liked the ending, though I agree it robbed the story of some weight for a final scare.

This was intentional.

The clown was just an automaton, the geese needed to draw a crowd so when people fell into the water the geese could easily eat them.
