Yes they were.

I guess I just don't want constant comparisons to the various killer clowns, particularly the countless iterations of the king of the archetype, the Joker.

I guess if they pulled it off, one more wouldn't hurt.

I find that sometimes the Joker is annoying, but he can also be impossible to look away from. At times the writers even give him funny lines.
