It Would Be Scary…

It is hard to tell whether it is because of certain horror movies, their creepy makeup or that they are generally older males playing creepy dress up for little kids. But something about clowns are just scary. It really doesn’t matter if they are making jokes or throwing pies in people’s faces, clowns are just inherantly scary.

The most famous of scary clowns is “Pennywise” from the movie IT. That movie pretty much solidified just how scary clowns were and the evil things they were truly capable of. It is beyond me why they even exist in society any longer. I would venture to guess that over half of the world finds clowns at least a little bit scary, while some people find them deathly scary and likely have frequent nightmares about them.

I am not sure about you, but personally I DO find something unsettling about a grown man putting makeup on and bright over-sized clothing so that he can run around and act like a child himself through exaggerated actions and expressions. Do you have a clown phobia? Don’t worry if you do, I guarantee you are not the only one.
