This is only a personal theory but I suspect people's problem with clowns comes from the nature of their make-up. It's there to fix a smile or a sad face in place and you never know what the inner truth is. It's a natural instinct to feel they are somehow deliberately masking their true feelings and, thus, intentions. And given that they're supposedly there to entertain children (who are often petrified of them), it's a bit of a powderkeg.
Then again, there are people who entertain their children by sitting them down in front of horror films, so who am I to judge clowns?
Is it normal for people to misunderstand clowns?
