Gags the clown came out in 2018, which means Andy Muschietti’s 2017 It Pushed his giant shoes into the pop-cultural conversation first. (Remember the “Clown only” projects The Alamo -drafthouse hosted then?) The first Terrifier came out in 2016, but Art The Clown did not reach main monstrous status until its aftermath in 2022.
