Krusto D. Clown, also known as Krusto the Clown, is the main antagonist of the Season 34 non-canonical Halloween special "Treehouse of Horror Presents: Not It" of The Simpsons.
He is a monstrous killer clown who first targets Homer Simpson and his friends when they are teenagers. After being bested by Homer and his gang, Krusto D. Clown returns years later to get back at them once they are all adults.
Like his mainstream counterpart, he was voiced by Dan Castellaneta, who also voiced Louie, Mayor Quimby, Itchy, Frankie the Squealer, Count Dracula, Adolf Hitler, Blue-Haired Lawyer, the villainous version of Groundskeeper Willie, Donald Trump, the Devil, and Paolo Paoletti in the same series, as well as The Robot Devil in Futurama, Megavolt in Darkwing Duck, Evil Jim in Earthworm Jim, The Wickersham Brothers in Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!, and Ventriloquist and Scarface in The Batman,

Trivia[]
- This version of Krusty the Clown is obviously a parody of Pennywise the Dancing Clown of Stephen King's It. However, while It has received two film adaptations, Krusto D. Clown is specifically based on the film version of the 2017/2019 It duology, which was portrayed by Bill Skarsgård.
- The idea of making a "Treehouse of Horror" special featuring a story with Krusty the Clown as a stand-in for Pennywise was inspired by many fanart of Krusty drawn as Pennywise made by fans over the years, especially after the 2017 film came out.
- The writers of The Simpsons held a fan contest to make fans send their best drawings of how Krusty the Clown would look like as Pennywise. The best submitted drawings were later shown during the episode's credits.
