Can't Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me

[Pike]

Are you afraid of clowns?

[noxious.sunshine]

They're creepy, but I'm not like "OMFG GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME" creepy.

Unless it's whatshisface from It. Keep that mothersmurfer away from me.

[Ayen]

Your clowns don't frighten me. Even the great Tim Curry in clown makeup don't frighten me.

[Crop]

Nope. Never understood the fear (or like) of clowns.

That said, there's only one clown that really puts the fear in me -

(SPOILER)[

[Pumpkin]

No

[Pheesh]

No. It also always really irked me that they turned the monster from It into a straight up clown that was killing kids when the story is so much more than that.

[Wolf Kanno]

I'm not really bothered by them, but I do find it amusing so many people think they are scary. So for those of you who are afraid of them, why?

I don't know, I think it's kind of a dumb and overused cliché. And honestly, it's 2015 - how often are people actually being exposed to clowns? The only time they're ever seen is in the horror genre.

[Ayen]

I have a sinking suspicion the movie IT had a lot to do with it. Either that or bad experiences with birthday clowns growing up.

Merging with our recent clowns thread

[sharkythesharkdogg]

I don't find regular clowns scary, but the ones made to specifically look creepy do indeed look creepy.

[Madame Adequate]

I don't have coulrophobia but I don't particularly like clowns, it is very easy to get them to a creepy appearance.

[Wolf Kanno]

I don't even really find "creepy" clowns scary. I mean the clown get-up just makes them more ridiculous. I don't know, I really want someone who is afraid to actually explain it to me because I can't wrap my head around it.

[FFNut]

Ive never understood this either. Really if they are scared of clowns why not comedians then as they are this generation of the clown.

Only when Batman is not around.
