''Crepitus'' is a 2018 horror movie starring Creator/BillMoseley in the titular role.

Elizabeth and Sam are a pair of sisters living in their grandfather's house with their abusive alcoholic mother. They begin to realize their house is haunted, leading them to discovering a horrible family secret.

!!!Tropes featured in this work:

* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: For a woman who's given birth to two children and has raised a teenage daughter, [[spoiler:and has endured years as a prisoner to a cannibalistic MonsterClown,]] Brandi looks pretty good.
* AbusiveParents: ''Brandi!'' Dear god, Brandi! She's an insane alcoholic who hits her daughters over minor slights such as spilling the hot water in ... whatever she's eating for breakfast. [[spoiler:Crepitus is this to her, having raped her to father two daughters and holding her captive in his house. In the end, she hands Ellie over to Crepitus on a silver platter so she can escape his house.]]
* BadHumourTruck: Crepitus poses as an ice cream man in the day, and uses it to abduct women and rape them.
* ChildEater: Crepitus' preferred diet is the children he fathered.
* FreudianExcuse: Downplayed, but [[spoiler:Brandi was raped by her own father, the incestuous child-eating Crepitus, so that he could father two daughters that she didn't even want. At the very least, it explains why she turned out the way she did.]]
* HateSink: Brandi is an utterly deplorable parent. Even being insane [[spoiler:and a victim of rape by Crepitus]], there's no justification for her constant mistreatment of her children, who she hates by her own admission. [[spoiler:By the end, she hands Ellie over to Crepitus as her "ticket out".]]
* HumanoidAbomination: What Crepitus is remains a RiddleForTheAges. If he was once human, he most definitely isn't now.
* MonsterClown: Possibly one of the sickest examples ever. He's also a literal monster, to boot.
* SerialKiller: Crepitus has traits of this. He specifically targets children on their tenth birthdays, keeping their pictures in a scrapbook alongside articles about their deaths, and also keeps trophies.
* SerialRapist: Crepitus has raped numerous women, always fathering children from them for him to eat.
* VillainousIncest: [[spoiler:Brandi is the daughter of Crepitus, who raped her to father Elizabeth and Brandi.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: Brandi won't be winning mother-of-the-year award anytime soon. And Crepitus is even worse; he tortures children and eats them.
