Why so scared, dear little boy
you should laugh, be full of joy.
But don't you dare turn off the light
for I escaped the circus, just last night.

Why so scared, dear little girl
into a smile your mouth should curl.
Instead I hear a horrid scream
you'll wake the parents - let them dream.

See the red, the blue, the white?
I paint my face - the man I hide.
Forget the monsters - they're all in your head
you should only fear the Clown at the end of your bed.

Through the windows I will watch you sleep
before into your room I creep.
For the last thing you will ever see
is that bizzarely smiling face of me.

This is just a first draft... I was actually going to write a shortstory (or something) but ended up writing this poem. I actually hardly ever use rhymes, so I don't know if this is creepy enough...
Will try my best to write a shortstory for this though...
