Default Caution, Scary clown critique

I was experimenting with night shots at Halloween Horror Nights last year. I Know many of the actors and Jack the Clown was good enough to come down from his perch high above us to let me get this shot. They even opened the gate he was behind so I could get closer to him.
I was wondering what needs to be tweeked to make this a great shot....I'm going for VERY creepy. Does he need more or less color. It's very red because that's the only colored lights they had on him.
He's pretty scary so look at your own risk

I can see what you're going for with the red, but the red channel is blown to bits. If you're going to print, it won't print well at all.

Sinister? Yes, well done. Just don't try to print it.

LOL....nope. Don't want to print it. All the red is from red spot lights coming through fog.
That is Jack the Clown from Halloween Horror nights at Universal Studios and one of my FAVORITE characters there. It was a surprise appearance last year and I just had to get a shot. My first attempt at night photography. They had him behind a big iron gate so he wouldn't get mobbed by people wanting to get a shot but he's a friend of mine so he told his "handlers" to open the gate for me and I had to be quick!!
