The Clown is one of the playable killers in Dead by Daylight, the asymmetrical horror game by Behaviour Interactive, introduced in the Curtain Call chapter in 2018. His design blends a travelling circus performer with a serial killer, which explains the mix of laughter, bells and menace in his audio cues. Clips of his sounds circulate among fans for montages, stream alerts and soundboard jokes, where a brief cue instantly identifies the character without any visuals and signals a chase is about to begin.
