    When I was a kid the plumber scared me, so naturally some dude with crazy purple hair, white and red makeup and a puffy nose going around acting like a freak scared the living shit out of me. I don't understand why people are the slightest bit amused by them. I guess little kids in the 1800s were totally blown away by them; you couldn't find anything cooler than a clown if you lived in the 1800s. Which just goes to show how incredibly fucked up little kids must have been in the 1800s compared to us.

    I am in the same boat! Saw "It", and have been scared to death of clowns ever since. I never liked them as a child, but as an adult... Yeah, scared. Lol.

    See, I am scared of clowns because when I was a kid.. I had a clown look at me smiling saying "you know why clowns always smile kid? They did something bad in the past that he just wants to forget about!!" I was maybe 10 at the time and I am 18 now and terrified of clowns..

    Yes, and there's even a name for it, coulrophobia. It's very common.

    Normal. I've never been terrified of clowns, but they are pretty creepy so I can understand why anyone would have a fear of them.

    As a child i was scared to death but now they just kind of are freaky and weird to me
    O and i read this really creepy poem about them once and i was scared. Santa clause also scared me so maybe it was just costumes in general.
    I'm a regular Chuckie Finster :P
