Actually he had a job as a clown. He didn't exactly kill people wearing a clown suit. Just looked it up. Also reports says his last words to a guard before execution was "kiss my ass"

But none of that happened in real life. John Wayne Gacy didn't do the things that happened in the book.

It didn't dress up as a clown, he appeared as a particular person's greatest nightmare. He was a clown during the time in between appearing as peoples' nightmares presumably because clown's are universally terrifying...

I watched a documentary on him. I think it would be a little too obvious if there was a clown going around killing people.
