In this episode of Gatherings, VICE host Jackson Garrett explores the sudden rise of online clown culture, and how the new generation of clowns are trying to change the perception from scary and creepy to sexy and accepting.
Garrett's mission starts in Brooklyn with Clown Cult founder Chuckie Sleaze, culminating in his very own Clown Cult initiation. Along the way, Garrett discovers what draws people into clown culture, and why this new generation of clowns might be on to something.
