Abstract
This article examines creepy clowns and what is defined as a clown apocalypse. By reporting the recent events of this phenomenon, we analyze possible relationships between the clown mask and the Harlequin mask, both containing elements that redirect to the image of the medieval demon. We show that clowns are recognized today by the technique they use, as creepy clowns move away from the original clown’s actions, and damage both socially and artistically the image of professional clowns.References
