Summary: It seems that clowns just cannot catch a break when it comes to cinema. We can tell a lot of kids growing up before the new millennium didn't have the greatest experiences with such. But damn, if this one doesn't have the title of "most violent b-day clown ever", no one will.
History: Richard "Stitches" Grindle was a moderately successful birthday clown who suffered an unfortunate accident when he was humiliated at a kid's party, tripped into falling onto a kitchen knife, attempted to kill the birthday boy with said knife, and ended up slipping on it again, killing him for real. But he was a friend of a clown-filled cult run by the Motley, who claims that a clown that leaves a birthday incomplete will not rest. Also, a joke isn't as funny the second time. He's right by the way. Six years after the incident, Stitches rises from the grave to wreak vengeance on the kids who let him die.
Notable Kills: Pulls a rabbit out of a guy's throat before kicking his head off, opens another's head with a can-opener before removing his brain with an ice cream scoop, shoves an umbrella through a girl's head, and makes balloon animals out of a guy's intestines before blowing his head up with a bicycle pump. Christ...
Final Fate: After chasing the original b-day boy to his old home, Stitches is ultimately done in when he's once again tripped and this time tricked into destroying the egg that the cult gave him, causing him to explode in a display of yolk and magic. However, the egg is reconstructed down the line, suggesting that he could rise again...
Powers/Abilities: Can perform all sorts of absurd magic tricks. He is also truly immortal.
Weakness: That egg the cult gave him must be destroyed to send him back to the other side.
Scariness Factor: 4-If it weren't for this guy's sick sense of humor, he'd be a solid 5 probably. Stitches is by far one of the most depraved clowns we've seen in a movie so far. And this is a decade where the monster clowns practically thrived, so that's saying something. His gore-tastic murders may be darkly funny (and hey, he didn't kill that rabbit), but they're drawn-out and painful as can be.
Trivia: -Stitches was played by Ross Noble, a moderately successful stand-up comedian who has gotten greater acclaim in Mel Brooks stage adaptations.
-One of the drugs our lead takes to suppress his trauma is hynocil, the very same drug from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies. Can you just imagine for a second what would happen if Freddy and Stitches put their heads together?
