Behind the scenes
In an interview with 1UP.com, Emil Pagliarulo commented on the Pint-Sized Slasher, stating that the idea came from a "dark corner of [his] psyche" that had the idea of playing as a kid, dressed up as a clown, murdering people in a video game, as it would be "sick fun."[Dev 1]

In the dog house out behind the abandoned home are a mask and knife. Don the mask, and become the Pint-Sized Slasher. Use the knife to eliminate all the residents of Tranquility Lane."
