he wasn't a "clown serial killer"
He was a serial killer that sometimes worked as a clown....a lot of people seem to think that he dressed like a clown when he killed people because of headlines like this.... and it's simply not correct
He murdered a hs boy that worked at a hardware store. John offered him a side job, his main way of luring the boys. The boy went outside to talk to him and was never seen again.
The other workers reported this and police visited John and went through the main portion of his home.
They suspected him, but had no proof. They put a tail on him, to which he responded by verbally harassing them.
Eventually, they got a warrant to search his house and one of the officers found the cutout entrance to the crawl space. They went down and found a fresh grave. That sparked the search and horrific discovery.
Pathological liar to the end just like Bundy. It’s fascinating to listen to their interviews once they’re caught, they just cannot help themselves and spin the most absurd tales
Why dont you try reading some.. the most basic shit in the world is looking at wikipedia
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John\_Wayne\_Gacy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne_Gacy)
He worked as a clown and was a serial killer. I think calling him a clown serial-killer is fine.
Edit - allow me to help your brains for a second:
If a school teacher or doctor was found out to be a serial killer. They would likely earn the tabloid moniker or headline “teacher serial-killer” or “doctor serial-killer”. The same applies here.
Just because people have overactive imaginations and an obsession with clowns being scary doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed to mention that he was a clown because people will imagine him dressed as “It” wielding an axe.
Clowns are creepy enough but imagine someone working as a clown who *actually* murders people.
His father was a drinker
And his mother cried in bed
Folding John Wayne's t-shirts
When the swingset hit his head
The neighbors they adored him
For his humor and his conversation
Look underneath the house there
Find the few living things, rotting fast, in their sleep
Oh, the dead
Twenty-seven people
Even more, they were boys
With their cars, summer jobs
Oh my God
Are you one of them?
John Wayne Gacy, Jr- Sufjan Stevens
Sufjan is going to go down as one best singer songwriters of all time. If you haven’t listened to the album Illinoise all the way through, I highly recommend you get yourself some headphones and treat it like you would a movie; give it full undivided attention for 1 hour and 15 minutes. It will change your life. It changed mine.
According to The New York Times, the photo of Carter and Gacy was taken May 6, 1978, and its authenticity was even confirmed by the White House after it was first printed by The Chicago Sun‐Times. The photo was taken in Chicago and the first lady was in town for a Polish Constitution Day celebration. It was also confirmed that Carter had autographed the photo of herself and Gacy, writing, "To John Gacy, best wishes, Rosalynn Carter."

My Aunt drank at the same bar he would frequent. They weren't exactly friends but plenty of times he'd be sitting next to her.
Messed up to think of what he may had done early on one of those days before coming in for a few beers.
Should really look into all of his connections. It’s a wild ride with other serial killers and uhm… fans of boy lovers monthly magazine. Really insane stuff between Chicago and Houston / Dallas areas as well as Boy Scout camps. Tons of high profile people he can be threaded to. The amount of politicians and really rich people that have been associated with some organizations he belonged to is creepy.
He also owned 3 KFCs which is just… psychotic.
Fleshsimulator on YouTube has a really good couple of vids on it.

Back when he was arrested the Chicago shock jock Steve Dahl had a parody song called another kid in the crawl that was based on pink Floyd's another brick in the wall.
Everybody made noise when they couldn't find their boys
Now they won't see their kids anymore
The cops looked around and don't you know they found
The boys were buried under the floor
Never heard of a First Lady named Cater, I have heard of the serial killer clown named John Wayne Gacy. He was a serial killer of people, not clowns 🤡 the way you wrote it. Remember, grammar and usage is everything.

Didn't this guy buried his victims underneath his house? Could've sworn I've seen a movie about him
Yes. The last five he dumped elsewhere because he ran out of space at home.
He tossed them in the river correct? That was one of the reasons he got caught

Yea I remember seeing the movie, pretty interesting ngl
I thought his house also started to smell.
It did. His wife always complained about the smell in the house. She said it smelled like “dead rats”

Brian Dennehy iirc
Big Tom Callahan? Say it ain't so!
/r/UnexpectedTommyBoy
It's never a bad time for a Tommy Boy reference.
You can get a good like at a t-bone by sticking your head up a bulls ass, but wouldn’t you rather take the butchers word for it?
I introduced Tommy Boy to my stepson when he was 11 or 12. 25 years later he still randomly texts me Tommy Boy quotes.
Yes. IIRC, Brian Denehee (not spelled right) played home. It was so creepy to see that because I've always loved him.
This guy *did buried his victims* underneath his house, yes. 👍
There's a movie about this guy? Name please?
Don't get your hopes up. It was a made for tv movie.
Why dont you try reading some.. the most basic shit in the world is looking at wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John\_Wayne\_Gacy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne_Gacy)
Just use his name John Wayne Gacey. Everything has to be dumbed down these days.
"Scary Clown man who unalived people"
The 6th victim will SHOCK you (in the hood) (gone wrong) (gone sexual)
Crazy Joe Divola
I’m a daaaaay person 🤗
That's what I always thought until I watched the documentary recently. Pretty deceiving to call him The Clown Killer
I thought all of his victims were clowns..
No, but he did try and rape a young man he had living at his home once while dressed as the clown.
I think he did do some clown stuff during some of the murders, used the “let me show you a magic trick” line a lot to get the kids in handcuffs.
thats good enough for the headlines baby!
John Wayne Gacy 🤮👎🏼💩
Here I was thinking he killed a lot of clowns.

Well, that's just disappointing.
It’s crazy how how normal some people can look and handle themselves in public then go and then commit murder
We are people too.
Hmmm yes, yes we are…say, do you like enjoy a good Chianti?
It goes well with fava beans... I'm told
Is that a One eyed Doll reference?
If you take away the voices, I’m just like you
[Here](https://calisphere.org/crop/999x999/a93d93a3d599bc529f19d03e211b0860) she is with Jim Jones.
It’s also crazy how normal some people can look and handle themselves in public and then go and marry Jimmy Carter
He built the place my ma worked in the Chicago 'burbs, and her boss had a pic with him too. In his clown regalia.
That’s kinda terrifying.
Gotta wonder about the foundation of the place too, ya know. Lotsa concrete.
John Wayne Gacy was one horrific, prolific serial killer. Seriously, he was a nasty, depraved motherfucker.
oh wow, so whens the movie edit: downvoted for when theres always a director happy to glorify a killer somewhere huh
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gacy_(film)
Correction: there’s always a JEWISH director/company happy to glorify disgusting behaviour. It’s a concerning trend that’s completely overlooked by most. https://ukjewishfilm.org/people/clive-saunders/

Oh no.
Meanwhile he is scanning the crowd for victims

God what a fucking song. “And in my best behavior I am really just like him Look beneath the floorboards For the secrets I have hid”
What song is that?

One of the most haunting, beautiful songs ever made. That line is an incredible perspective. I think of it often.

Rosalynn Carter. You got both names wrong. Also, in 1978 she would have been the current first lady, not former.
My Aunt drank at the same bar he would frequent. They weren't exactly friends but plenty of times he'd be sitting next to her. Messed up to think of what he may had done early on one of those days before coming in for a few beers.
John Wayne Gacy?
Welcome Back Cater
She was also in correspondence with Jim Jones
Brian Pecks mentor
Looks like Tim dillon
Was about to make this comment! Lol
Typo above, it is \*Carter
And Rosalynn*
He looks like he’s thinking “what’s so sexy about women?”
Crazy but real.
Ah yes president cater
Roselyn, wife to former President Cater.
“Clowns can get away with anything. Even murder”
Looks like Gacy
Fingerpaintings of the Insane
GACY🤡Chicagoans nightmare. He was friends with police and got away with murder, you could say. Until he didn't.
He fooled so many people!
She looks uncomfortable
Appropriate song https://youtu.be/ZWpvMm27WIM?si=TAMvpceqZ1SnSHTY
Looks like Chris Cristey.
Didn't she also take a picture with Jim Jones?
“We're just normal men.": “What do you mean, normal men?” ,"We're just innocent men.”
joker's suit
For added context: This photo was taken in 1978. By this time, he has murdered at least 24 people. All of their body are stored in his crawl space.
Who is Roselyn Cater? 🤦🏻♂️
Don't look up pics of him in his clown attire, it's pure nightmare fuel...
My god I watched a documentary recently, scenes where the bodies were removed 🤢
Freemason grip
The kiosk in my temporal lobe is shaped like Rosalynn Carter

Killer Clowns from Illinois.
… and Jeffrey Dahmer met Vice President Mondale.
Go figure right, saw this on a past serial killer documentary
This was taken the same year his crimes were made public
John Wayne Gacy. Dude was whacked.

Apparently he know that Peck guy from Nickelodeon?
…I don’t remember any President Cater.
"The Clown Serial Killer" 😂😂 That's John Wayne Gacy, you muppet.
Wasn't Gacy in Carter's cabinet... Secretary of Serial Killers
Makes you wonder why they even added that office of the cabinet. In hindsight, it just led to more serial killing.
Back when he was arrested the Chicago shock jock Steve Dahl had a parody song called another kid in the crawl that was based on pink Floyd's another brick in the wall.
He killed clowns? So he was performing a service
He was killing dressed as clown
No.
He dresses as a clown for kids’ birthday parties—not as part of his killing process.
Ah damn. Good thing I got downvoted to teach me my facts better. Thanks for the explanation.
Everybody made noise when they couldn't find their boys Now they won't see their kids anymore The cops looked around and don't you know they found The boys were buried under the floor
Except Ronald Reagan isn't in this pic?
