The superficially human circus folk were of course unnerving and not what they appeared to be. And the PCs were offered a chance to run away and join the circus, but fortunately turned it down. Fun times!

For those that played D&D3.5, Sword and Sorcery Press's
Scarred Lands setting included a whole nation of creepy clowns and similar things rolled into a bayou setting.
It wasn't usually played as being as horrific as it could have been because, well, D&D ... but had lots of potential. On sale at DriveThru and doubtless other places as well.
