This guy ain't clowning around.

Welcome to watch Mojo.

And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10.

Scariest Joker moments for this list.

We're looking at some of the most unnerving and memorably dark Joker moments from film, television and video games.

Despite his larger than life antics and colorful garb, this Batman Rogue is among the most diabolical villains of any medium, and these terrifying scenes really hammer home.

Why the clown Prince of Crime inspires such fear.

Please note we will not be including moments from the comics because they warrant a list of their own.

Also, Spoiler Alert.

I got these guys Well, Hi, Joe.

Number 10.

Send in the Clowns.

Joker themed scene from the 2019 Joker film begins with Arthur Fleck acting in self defense.

But it's also the moment in which the Joker is born, his first act of violence serving as an awakening of sorts.

Three employees of Wayne Enterprises, who have been harassing a woman on the subway, turn their attention to Arthur when he has a fit of uncontrollable laughter.

One of them begins to sing.

Send in the clowns in an intimidating fashion, but it's Arthur who gives them all a re a lesson in fear.

He guns down two of the three men, prompting the third to flee.

Implacable Arthur stocks the man down and finishes him off.

And as his post murder dance suggests, Flik feels great about the encounter.

Number nine.

A visit to Carl Grissom.

Batman Jack is dead, my friend.

You can call me Joe.

Before Joel Schumacher took the franchise in an overtly campy direction, Tim Burton brought Gotham City to life on the big screen in a way that was at once over the top and theatrical but nonetheless dark.

While Jack Nicholson's version of the Joker strikes a similar balance, he has grand unveiling as the clown prince of crime decidedly tilt in favor of scary emerging from the elevator, he's obscured and shadow a sinister silhouette.

And though crime boss Carl Grissom tries to play nice, the newly christened Joker ain't having it.

He switches between quiet malice and sudden outbursts of anger before revealing his twisted new look and taking Carl's life.

It's a reintroduction to Gotham, fit for prints.

Number eight, The Last Laugh Batman mask of the phantasm.

For once, I'm stuck without a punch line.

Held in high esteem by die hard fans of the Caped Crusader but largely forgotten by the masses, This 1993 film is a continuation of that man.

The animated series Joker doesn't serve as the film's primary antagonist.

That honor goes to the mysterious phantasm, but it's ultimately joker who gets the last laugh in this harrowing scene, with the world of the future fair exploding around him and his fate in the hands of a woman consumed by vengeance, Joker lets out a spine chilling cackle.

He's missing a tooth.

He's bloody, and for once he's poised to become the victim.

But at the same moment, he is reveling in having destroyed a life.

It's the sort of chaos he lives for.

Number seven.

Jerome's confession Gotham Gotham was a Siri's that divided that man fans, but for all its shortcomings, it definitely succeeded in crafting a memorable character out of Jerome Valeska as proto joker rather than the real deal.

Valeska very well could have wound up feeling like a pale imitation, but actor Cameron Monahan elevated the character arguably above all other villains on this show.

Despite many memorable moments, the scene in which to Rome first revealed his true nature remains the most chilling.

In a split second, he goes from crying over his mother to maniacally laughing and confessing to having killed her.

It was very funny.

It's a great performance, one that turns itself a place on our list.

Proto Joker label Be damned.

Why did you kill your mother?

True.

Oh, you know how mothers are.

She just kept pushing Number six telling the story of his scars.

The Dark Knight.

You look nervous.

Is it the scars?

This is technically a few different moments.

But while each twisted story is creepy in its own right, it's really the cumulative effect of these conflicting narratives but leaves a lasting impression.

Throughout the film.

He Ledger's Joker seemingly opens up to his victims about his past.

First, he says, his father cut him in an active, drunken violence.

Later, he tells Rachel Dawes that he did it to himself to cheer up his wife, these anecdotes at a skin crawling personal touch to his acts of depravity and violence.

We almost get 1/3 version, but Batman doesn't let him tell it, though.

we are curious as to what he would have said in terms of the scare factor.

Joker had already achieved the desired effect.

Number five saying farewell to his mother Joker.

But my laugh.

It's a condition that there's something wrong with.

Speaking of getting personal.

There are few crime scenes Maur, intimate and disturbing than this one between Arthur Fleck and Jerome Valeska.

Thes alternative.

Takes on the Joker.

Have a real pension for Mattress Side.

After learning the messy truth about his mother and his parentage, Arthur returns to the hospital where he quietly unloads about his misery.

It is a tense moment, his calm demeanor for shadows, something dark and terrible just around the corner, deeming his tragic life to be a comedy.

He then takes his mom's pillow and smothers her to death with it.

As she struggles, he looks concentrated but not conflicted, and the peace that this horrific act seems to bring him is absolutely haunting.

Number four.

Getting even with Randall Joker, The cops have been coming around the shop talking all the guys, those subway murders until May.

That's because the suspect was a regular sized person.

Todd Phillips version of Joker isn't the most socially well adjusted, and he and his co workers have a strained relationship.

Once Arthur begins his transformation into the Joker, however, he becomes more assertive.

And so when Randall comes around asking about the subway murders, Arthur responds by brutally attacking the man without warning.

It is a savage and bloody assault, one that leaves Arthur's clown makeup and walls splattered with blood.

He lets Gary Go is a thanks for its past kindness.

But until Gary is safely out of the apartment, the tension is agonizing.

And now that he is the Joker, Arthur has fun with it.

Yeah, Number three.

Attacking Barbara Gordon.

That man.

The killing joke.

Well, I had some really interesting nightmares.

That man.

The killing joke is among the most influential joker stories ever told, thankfully, for our purposes.

It also got a feature length animated film adaptation in 2016.

In the movie The Joker has escaped Arkham Asylum and decides to pay a visit to the home of Commissioner Gordon as part of his most recent plot.

Unfortunately, it's Barbara, also known as Batgirl, who answers the door.

He promptly shoots her, resulting in her paralysis below the waist being the sick and twisted monster he is, however, he doesn't stop there.

Jokers strips Barber down and photograph, sir, later using the picture as part of his strategy to torture her father until he goes mad.

Both moments are hard to watch, but the assault of Barbara is especially horrifying is to cry.

Number two.

Interrogating the Batman imitator The Dark Knight I'm a man of my word, fun fact.

You know the videos that Joker sends out of people he's kidnapped in The Dark Knight Heath Ledger was given more or less free reign from Christopher Nolan to direct them himself.

And armed with that knowledge, we can't help but think that Ledger would have made one heck of a horror film director.

With its shaky camera work and McCobb setting, the atmosphere and tone are incredibly uncomfortable.

When the character starts in, man handling is captive.

It's enough to make your stomach churn After using a sickening, Lee playful voice.

For much of the video, Joker breaks out into a savage roar, reminding us that he can also be deadly serious.

In short, the whole video is pure nightmare fuel.

So you think Batman's made Gotham a better place.

So this is just another reminder that we are not including comic book moments.

But honestly, I'm surprised this isn't already a top 20 with how many iconic and terrifying moments this character's had on screen.

So which version of the Joker have we deemed to have had?

The scariest moment?

Let's check out the honorable mentions, and then we'll find out.

See, I'm not a monster.

I'm just ahead of the curve.

Oh, my God.

What are you doing in here?

You're in the wrong apartment.

Oh, wait.

That's it.

What?

Silly me.

I forgot the acid.

Wait, wait.

You're trying to resist change?

Come on, get in.

No, The look on your face when you saw him, I fought big, bad Batman.

Scared of his own reflection.

Number one, live with Murray Franklin Joker.

So please welcome honestly, outside of explicit horror movies, This might have been one of the most disturbing scenes of any popular film released in 2019.

The gunshot itself is sudden, graphic and absolutely stomach turning.

You know that something terrible is coming long before the shot is fired.

And yet that four knowledge doesn't nothing to diminish its impact when Joker finally pulls the trigger.

Have you seen what it's like out there?

Marais.

Do you ever actually leave the studio?

Everybody just yells and screams of each other.

Nobody's civil anymore.

In fact, this lengthy buildup instead helps to create an oppressive sense of dread and ever mounting terror, so that by the time Joker is ready to deliver his punch line, the viewer is already horrified.

It's a remarkable moment of gritty and grounded horror, one that burns itself into your mind and refuses to fade away Good night and always remember, that's Do you agree with our picks?
