That's a question that I have been asking myself, as well as others, for a long time. I'm not sure where the 'killer clown' part came into play but I think it trails back to the 'sad clown' idea. A clown is supposed to bring pleasure and happiness so it would be ironic if the clown was sad. I'm sure that twist sort of morphed into clowns bringing fear rather than happiness.
