Clown Doll (Poltergeist)

The Clown Doll is a minor antagonist in the horror film Poltergeist, although it is more accurately described as an aspect of either the Beast or the other vengeful spirits - it's main purpose was to act as a distraction so that the other spirits could abduct Carol Anne but it is remembered as being one of the more frightening entities in the film (in part due to many people fearing clowns).

The Clown Doll came to life during a thunder storm and attempted to choke Robbie with its long arms, it was not the only entity to attack Robbie in the film either as the infamous Gnarled Tree also came to life and attacked him during the haunting.
