Well, in 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark', the clown stories are made scary by the mystery surrounding them. We often don't know their true origins or motives.

These places are already a bit spooky on their own, and when you add a menacing clown into the mix, it becomes truly terrifying. The descriptions of the clowns themselves, with their tattered costumes and strange makeup, also play a big role in making the stories so scary.
