Stephen King and his novel "IT" may have a lot to do with this question.

Clowns anywhere are creepy, creppy things. I hate them.

component of it is that it may be each and every physique under the makeup. With all of that makeup there could be some thing to cover. people get hectic whilst some thing's for sure overdone, in spite of the fact that if it relatively is meant to be obtrusive. we are taught to be terrified of strangers or the unusual and a few thing as outrageous as a clown's makeup is going to spark off warning bells in some people. additionally, think approximately that a clown in many cases travels with a circus, a team of folk with out historic previous. understanding this, are you able to truly say that the fear is unjustified?

Long before Stephen King ever wrote It, I was terrified of clowns. I still don't like them, and when I read King's book, I freaked! LOL

Creepy - long before I ever read It.
My two year old saw a clown on tv the other day and ran up crying and clinging to me.
There must be a genetic component.

I've always been kind of afraid of clowns. I think this goes back to when I went to the circus as a kid and a clown killed my dad

Clowns are just CREEPY anywhere. I thought even before I read the book IT, but especially after. I still cringe when I jog past open sewer drains...

Clowns at the circus, carnivals and festivals are just regular folks dressed up to help create happiness. Not scarey to me at all.'

I find them pretty creepy! The movie "It" is enough to terrify any child of clowns, though!
