I very much enjoy hunting down [creepy and macabre photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork) and giving my two cents on it, but I’m afraid that in this case if I do, a clown will come right out of the screen and eat me. The Marco Cavalieri Clown Exhibit is downright terrifying. It's the kind of stuff that keeps you up at night.

The images seen here were produced using a skilful combination of [makeup and photoshopping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour). If you took away all that these photos would likely be very pleasant but throw Mr. Cavalieri’s demented mind and scary talent into the mix and you’ve got images that will make your nightmares seem tame. I suggest viewing the Marco Cavalieri Clown Exhibit in a brightly lit populated area.
