We get a typical setting: kids and babysitter home alone at night, parents gone. Check. There is a spooky, scary clown statue that gives off bad vibes. Clowns and scary statues? Again. cliche, but check. Then, we reach the height of tension: the phone call. The parents don’t know what clown statue she’s referring to. More tension. The father says, “We don’t have a clown statue.” Boom. A good ending point. The tension isn’t released, the audience is left with suspense. Interesting structure? No. But acceptable and semi-effective for what it is. However, the story goes on.
